Product details
Overview
BZX384-B75-QF from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 75 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-B75-QF datasheet, BZX384-B75-QF pinout, BZX384-B75-QF application, or BZX384-B75-QF equivalent, key selection factors include its 75 V Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), non-repetitive peak reverse power capability (40 W), thermal resistance (110 K/W junction-to-solder point), and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode, conducting in reverse bias above its specified breakdown voltage to clamp or regulate voltage. Its differential resistance of 500 Ω at IZ = 2 mA and temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K ensure predictable voltage stability across operating current and temperature ranges.
Designed for surface-mount applications on FR4 PCBs with standard SOD323 footprint, it supports reflow and wave soldering per JEDEC standards. The cathode-marked SOD323 package enables compact placement in space-constrained automotive and industrial control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; ±2 % tolerance ensures precise voltage clamping in reference circuits. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines maximum continuous DC power handling in ambient conditions. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 μs; enables transient surge suppression without failure. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 500 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA; determines voltage regulation linearity under varying load current. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 255 μA max at VR = 57 V; specifies leakage level below breakdown, critical for low-power standby operation. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum; sets upper thermal limit for reliable long-term operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Qualified per Automotive Electronics Council stress test standard; validated for automotive power management and sensor interface applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-C75-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); higher max reverse current (255 μA vs. 255 μA same); identical 75 V nominal rating. | Acceptable where system-level voltage margin accommodates wider tolerance; lower cost for non-critical regulation. | Select when absolute voltage accuracy is secondary to cost and availability in high-volume consumer modules. |
| MMSZ5265B-TP | 75 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to industrial/commercial use; lacks automotive qualification and has larger footprint (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm). | Choose only for non-automotive designs where higher power dissipation is required and qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with BZX384-C75-Q, the BZX384-B75-QF offers tighter voltage control essential for calibrated measurement systems; versus MMSZ5265B-TP, it delivers automotive reliability and smaller board area at the expense of slightly lower power rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can sustain before breakdown?
The BZX384-B75-QF has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V at IZ = 2 mA, with a guaranteed minimum breakdown voltage of 73.5 V and maximum of 76.5 V per ±2 % tolerance. It is not rated for continuous operation above its specified VZ; applied reverse voltage beyond this range initiates controlled conduction to regulate or clamp.
Can this diode be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes like the BZX384-B75-QF should not be paralleled due to mismatched breakdown voltages and thermal runaway risk. Their differential resistance (500 Ω) and positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V cause current hogging in one device. Use a single higher-power Zener or active regulation instead.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact its use in non-automotive designs?
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms extended reliability testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - making the BZX384-B75-QF suitable for any demanding industrial or medical application where long-term stability and field failure avoidance are critical, even outside automotive contexts.
What is the significance of the 'QF' suffix in the part number?
The 'QF' suffix denotes Nexperia's automotive-grade variant of the BZX384-B75-Q series, indicating full AEC-Q101 qualification, traceable lot documentation, and compliance with PPAP requirements - distinguishing it from commercial-grade 'Q' versions intended for non-automotive use.
