Product details
Overview
BZX84B75-G3-18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 75 V, ±2 % tolerance, 2 mA test current, 52.5 Ω dynamic resistance at 1 kHz, and 10 × 10⁻⁴/°C positive temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B75-G3-18 datasheet, BZX84B75-G3-18 pinout, BZX84B75-G3-18 application, or BZX84B75-G3-18 equivalent, this part delivers stable 75 V regulation under low-current conditions, supports high-temperature operation up to +150 °C, and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL level 1 soldering requirements for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-element, unidirectional Zener diode in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with specified regulation at IZT = 2 mA and VR = 70 V for leakage testing. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 420 K/W on FR-4 board, and maximum power dissipation is 300 mW under recommended PCB layout.
The BZX84B75-G3-18 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (αVZ = +10 × 10⁻⁴/°C), indicating increasing zener voltage with rising junction temperature - critical for stability in temperature-varying environments such as automotive cabin electronics or industrial sensor front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 73.5 V min / 75 V nom / 76.5 V max - ensures tight 75 V regulation with ±2 % accuracy for feedback sensing |
| Test Current (IZT) | 2 mA - defines operating point where VZ and dynamic resistance are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 52.5 Ω at 1 kHz - determines AC impedance and load regulation sensitivity in feedback networks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 50 μA max at VR = 70 V - limits standby current in high-impedance bias circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +10 × 10⁻⁴/°C - enables predictable VZ drift compensation in thermal design |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW on FR-4 board - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with standard footprint |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - supports operation in under-hood or enclosed industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package: 3-terminal surface-mount plastic case with gull-wing leads; terminals arranged anode-cathode-anode (pin 1–2–3), where pin 2 is cathode and pins 1 & 3 are internally connected anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Internally bonded to pin 3; forms common anode connection for bidirectional mounting flexibility |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connected to zener junction cathode; must be held at higher potential than anode to enable breakdown conduction |
| Pin 3 | Anode | Internally shorted to pin 1; provides second anode access point for PCB routing redundancy |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5265B-7-F | 75 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 70 Ω ZZ, SOT-23 package | Looser voltage tolerance increases output variation in precision feedback; higher ZZ reduces regulation fidelity | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy and thermal drift control |
| BZX84C75-G3-18 | 75 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, same package and thermal specs | Higher leakage (100 μA vs. 50 μA) and wider VZ spread reduce stability in low-power bias networks | Choose only if ±5 % tolerance is acceptable and existing BOM uses C-grade marking |
Compared with BZX84B75-G3-18, MMBZ5265B-7-F trades tighter thermal coefficient and lower dynamic resistance for lower cost, while BZX84C75-G3-18 sacrifices voltage accuracy for broader availability - making BZX84B75-G3-18 optimal for designs requiring both precision regulation and high-temperature reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for BZX84B75-G3-18 at 25 °C?
The BZX84B75-G3-18 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 73.5 V minimum to 76.5 V maximum at 25 °C and 2 mA test current, with 75 V nominal value - confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet revision 1.1 (24-Jan-2024), table on page 3 under "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" for part number BZX84B75-G.
Is BZX84B75-G3-18 suitable for automotive applications?
The BZX84B75-G3-18 is not AEC-Q101 qualified per Vishay's ordering table; however, it operates across -55 °C to +150 °C and offers HBM ESD > 8 kV, making it usable in non-safety-critical automotive cabin modules where qualification is not mandated - but BZX84B75-G3-18 must not be deployed in airbag, braking, or ADAS subsystems without formal AEC-Q101 validation.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX84B75-G3-18 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The BZX84B75-G3-18 has a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW when mounted on an FR-4 board with Vishay's recommended soldering footprint, as specified in the "ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS" table (page 2). This derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per the curve in Figure 1, reaching ~150 mW at 100 °C ambient.
Does BZX84B75-G3-18 have a defined cathode marking?
Yes - BZX84B75-G3-18 uses standard SOT-23 polarity marking: a band on the package body identifies pin 2 as the cathode terminal, consistent with Vishay's package drawing S8-V-3929.01-009 (page 4) and all BZX84-G series devices. Pin 1 and pin 3 are anode connections.
What is the dynamic resistance of BZX84B75-G3-18 and why does it matter?
The BZX84B75-G3-18 has a dynamic resistance (ZZ) of 52.5 Ω measured at 1 kHz and 2 mA test current. This value directly impacts regulation accuracy: lower ZZ means less output voltage shift under changing load current, which is essential for maintaining tight tolerances in feedback networks and reference rails.
