Product details
Overview
BZX384-B75/ZLX 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, 300 mW total power dissipation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature - used for precision low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained consumer and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-B75/ZLX datasheet, BZX384-B75/ZLX pinout, BZX384-B75/ZLX application, or BZX384-B75/ZLX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75 V Zener voltage with ±2 % tolerance, 500 Ω max differential resistance at 2 mA, 0.05 μA reverse current at VR = 57 V, thermal resistance of 415 K/W (junction-to-ambient), and compatibility with reflow/wave soldering per IPC-7095.
Technical Context
The BZX384-B75/ZLX operates as a two-terminal silicon planar Zener diode, leveraging controlled avalanche breakdown at 75 V to maintain stable reverse-bias regulation. Its design targets low-current reference applications where tight voltage tolerance and minimal temperature drift are critical.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +52.5 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. The device supports non-repetitive peak reverse currents up to 0.20 A (100 μs pulse) and withstands ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; ±2 % tolerance ensures 73.5–76.5 V regulation window under production conditions. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤500 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA; limits output impedance for stable regulation under varying load current. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 57 V; enables ultra-low leakage in high-impedance reference circuits. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating. |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 415 K/W; determines temperature rise per watt in free-air mounting - critical for thermal margin analysis. |
| Non-Repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 0.20 A at tp = 100 μs; supports transient surge suppression without permanent degradation. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; confirms low conduction loss when used in forward-biased clamp or indicator roles. |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package: 2.3 mm × 1.35 mm body, 0.45 mm height, cathode-marked with bar on terminal 1; optimized for automated placement and IPC-7095-compliant reflow/wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal - reverse-bias voltage applied between K and A establishes Zener conduction. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation than ±5 % variants (BZX384-C), reducing need for post-regulation trimming in precision references. |
| Low differential resistance (≤500 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage variation across load current changes - critical for stable feedback in LDO bias networks. |
| Ultra-low reverse leakage (≤0.05 μA @ 57 V) | Preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor biasing and analog front-end protection circuits. |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies and automotive under-hood modules. |
| Non-repetitive peak power rating (40 W) | Provides robustness against ESD and line transients without external TVS - simplifies protection architecture. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage regulator diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5265BLT1G | 75 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 225 Ω max rdif at 20 mA, SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher thermal resistance). | Higher power dissipation (350 mW) but looser tolerance; better suited for higher-current clamping, not precision reference. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy and board space is not constrained. |
| Vishay BZX384-C75 | 75 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 500 Ω max rdif at 2 mA, identical SOD323 package and pinout. | Same physical fit but wider regulation band (71.25–78.75 V); acceptable where absolute voltage accuracy is secondary to cost. | Choose for non-critical biasing where ±5 % tolerance satisfies system margin requirements and BOM consolidation is prioritized. |
Compared with MMBZ5265BLT1G and BZX384-C75, the BZX384-B75/ZLX delivers tighter voltage control and lower thermal resistance in the same compact SOD323 footprint - making it optimal for space-limited, accuracy-sensitive designs where ±2 % regulation stability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX384-B75/ZLX?
The BZX384-B75/ZLX has a ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA falls within 73.5 V to 76.5 V. This tighter tolerance than the ±5 % BZX384-C75 variant supports higher-accuracy voltage referencing in feedback and bias circuits - confirmed in Table 9 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 4.
What is the maximum reverse current the BZX384-B75/ZLX can handle during a transient?
The BZX384-B75/ZLX supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 0.20 A for pulses up to 100 μs, as specified in Table 5 and Table 9 of the datasheet. This rating enables reliable transient suppression without permanent damage when used in overvoltage clamp configurations.
Can BZX384-B75/ZLX be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the BZX384-B75/ZLX is rated for junction temperatures up to 150 °C and ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C (Table 5). Its thermal resistance of 415 K/W (Rth(j-a)) and stable Zener characteristics across temperature make it suitable for enclosed power supplies and industrial control modules.
What is the forward voltage of BZX384-B75/ZLX at 10 mA?
The forward voltage (VF) of BZX384-B75/ZLX is ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA (Table 1 and Table 7), verified under pulse test conditions (tp ≤ 100 μs). This low VF ensures minimal conduction loss if the device is used in forward-biased roles such as LED indicators or polarity protection.
How does the temperature coefficient of BZX384-B75/ZLX affect its regulation stability?
The BZX384-B75/ZLX has a temperature coefficient (SZ) of +52.5 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA (Table 9), indicating its Zener voltage increases predictably with temperature. This known drift enables passive compensation in bias networks - for example, pairing with an NTC thermistor to achieve near-zero net temperature drift in precision references.
