Product details
Overview
BZX384-B75-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 75 V nominal breakdown voltage at 2 mA test current, 300 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-B75-QX datasheet, BZX384-B75-QX pinout, BZX384-B75-QX application, or BZX384-B75-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75 V Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 415 K/W), non-repetitive peak reverse power (40 W), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a specified VZ = 73.5 V to 76.5 V at IZ = 2 mA, differential resistance ≤500 Ω, and temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K. Its low capacitance (≤88.6 pF at 1 MHz, VR = 0 V) supports stable performance in noise-sensitive analog references.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with standard SOD323 footprint, it sustains non-repetitive surge currents up to 0.20 A (100 μs square wave) and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient range, meeting automotive-grade reliability requirements per AEC-Q101.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 73.5 V to 76.5 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for 75 V nominal systems |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage accuracy without trimming in production designs |
| Total Power Dissipation | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Differential Resistance | ≤500 Ω - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤255 μA at VR = 70 V - quantifies leakage below breakdown, critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power | 40 W - enables transient overvoltage clamping (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulses) without failure |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C max - defines upper thermal limit for sustained operation in under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 (SC-76), surface-mount plastic package with 2 leads, 2.7 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.45 mm nominal height, cathode marked by bar on top surface.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics |
| Low thermal resistance to solder point | Rth(j-sp) = 110 K/W - improves heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting higher pulse reliability |
| Stable temperature coefficient | +0.05 mV/K - minimizes drift over –40 °C to +125 °C operating range in automotive cabins |
| Small-footprint SMD packaging | SOD323 outline (2.7 × 1.6 mm) - enables high-density layout in space-constrained ECUs and ADAS modules |
| Controlled Zener impedance | rdif ≤ 500 Ω - ensures predictable regulation error under varying load currents |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-C75-Q | ±5 % tolerance (70–79 V range), higher IR (255 μA), same package and surge rating | Acceptable where cost-driven designs tolerate wider voltage spread and higher leakage | Select when absolute regulation accuracy is secondary to BOM cost reduction |
| MMSZ5265B-TP | 75 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power but lacks automotive qualification; larger footprint (3.7 × 1.6 mm) | Choose only for non-automotive industrial use requiring higher continuous dissipation |
Compared with BZX384-C75-Q, the BZX384-B75-QX offers tighter voltage control and lower leakage for precision references; versus MMSZ5265B-TP, it trades power margin for automotive qualification and smaller board area-critical for ECU miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX384-B75-QX?
The device is not intended for forward conduction; its absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table, but typical operation occurs in reverse-bias breakdown. Forward voltage is 0.9 V at 10 mA, rising to 1.1 V at 100 mA-use only for brief testing or fault conditions.
Can BZX384-B75-QX replace older BZX384-B75 variants without design changes?
Yes-the "-QX" suffix denotes the same electrical and mechanical specifications as the base BZX384-B75-Q, with identical SOD323 package, pinout, Zener characteristics, and AEC-Q101 qualification. No layout or schematic modifications are required for drop-in replacement.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 75 V reference circuit?
At 25 °C and IZ = 2 mA, the actual VZ falls between 73.5 V and 76.5 V. Combined with temperature coefficient (+0.05 mV/K), total variation remains within ±2.5 % over –40 °C to +125 °C-sufficient for non-critical biasing and clamping where ±2 V margin is acceptable.
Is thermal derating required above 25 °C ambient temperature?
Yes-total power dissipation must be linearly reduced above 25 °C using Rth(j-a) = 415 K/W. For example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable Ptot = 300 mW × (1 − (85 − 25)/415) ≈ 156 mW to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C on standard FR4 PCB.
