Product details
Overview
BZX84B30-G3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 30 V, ±2 % tolerance, and 2 mA test current (IZT), designed for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B30-G3-08 datasheet, BZX84B30-G3-08 pinout, BZX84B30-G3-08 application, or BZX84B30-G3-08 equivalent, this device offers verified thermal resistance (RthJA = 420 K/W on FR-4), low dynamic impedance (21 Ω at IZT), and AEC-Q101-compatible construction - critical for automotive-grade signal conditioning and industrial sensor biasing.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range (2 mA). Its temperature coefficient of +8 × 10⁻⁴/°C ensures stable reference performance over -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature.
The SOT-23 package enables surface-mount integration into space-constrained PCBs while maintaining thermal dissipation capability up to 300 mW on FR-4 board. Reverse leakage current is limited to ≤0.05 μA at VR = 22.5 V, supporting high-impedance sensing and low-quiescent-current designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.4 V min / 30 V nom / 30.6 V max - enables precise 30 V reference generation with ±2 % accuracy at 2 mA |
| Test Current (IZT) | 2 mA - defines the operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 21 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 22.5 V - preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW on FR-4 board - supports continuous operation in compact power management circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 420 K/W - determines junction temperature rise under ambient conditions for reliability modeling |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +8 × 10⁻⁴/°C - indicates positive drift, enabling predictable compensation in temperature-critical references |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (9.2 mg weight, UL 94 V-0 molding compound, MSL level 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C30-G3-08 | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %), same VZ nominal, same SOT-23 package | Acceptable where calibration or trimming compensates for wider voltage spread | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for tight initial accuracy |
| MMBZ5257B-7-F | 30 V nominal, ±5 %, 3 mA IZT, RthJA = 450 K/W, different marking and tape format | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling in dense layouts | Choose only if existing BOM uses Diodes Inc. footprint and sourcing favors that vendor |
Compared with BZX84B30-G3-08, the BZX84C30-G3-08 trades tighter tolerance for lower unit cost, while MMBZ5257B-7-F introduces higher thermal resistance and looser tolerance - making BZX84B30-G3-08 optimal for uncalibrated, thermally constrained, high-accuracy reference use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance of BZX84B30-G3-08?
The BZX84B30-G3-08 has a guaranteed zener voltage tolerance of ±2 %, meaning its measured breakdown voltage falls between 29.4 V and 30.6 V when tested at 2 mA (IZT) and 25 °C ambient. This tighter tolerance is indicated by the "B" prefix in the part number, distinguishing it from the ±5 % "C" variant.
Can BZX84B30-G3-08 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - while the standard BZX84B30-G3-08 is commercial grade, Vishay offers AEC-Q101 qualified versions of the BZX84-G Series upon request. The device's −55 °C to +150 °C operating range, >8 kV HBM ESD rating, and SOT-23 robustness make BZX84B30-G3-08 suitable for automotive subsystems where qualification is not mandated.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX84B30-G3-08 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The BZX84B30-G3-08 delivers 300 mW maximum power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 board using Vishay's recommended soldering footprint. This value assumes proper thermal relief and copper pour design; exceeding it risks junction temperature rise beyond the 150 °C limit, potentially degrading long-term reliability.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZX84B30-G3-08 performance?
The BZX84B30-G3-08 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +8 × 10⁻⁴/°C, meaning its zener voltage increases by approximately 24 mV per 10 °C rise in junction temperature. This behavior must be accounted for in high-precision references, though it remains stable and predictable across the full −55 °C to +150 °C operating range.
Is BZX84B30-G3-08 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - the BZX84B30-G3-08 uses a green-compliant SOT-23 package rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C, fully compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements. No pre-baking is required prior to standard lead-free reflow profiles.
