Product details
Overview
BZX84C10-G3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode rated for 10 V nominal zener voltage (±5 % tolerance), 5 mA test current, 0.2 μA reverse leakage at 7.6 V, 20 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and 5 × 10⁻⁴/°C positive temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C10-G3-08 datasheet, BZX84C10-G3-08 pinout, BZX84C10-G3-08 application, or BZX84C10-G3-08 equivalent, this device serves as a stable 10 V shunt regulator in power supply feedback paths, sensor biasing networks, and ESD-protected interface clamping circuits where SOT-23 footprint, AEC-Q101-compatible robustness, and ±5 % voltage grading per E24 standard are required.
Technical Context
The BZX84C10-G3-08 operates as a single-element, silicon planar Zener diode with graded breakdown characteristics optimized for stable DC voltage regulation at low currents. Its 10 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT1), with dynamic resistance of 20 Ω measured at 1 kHz, ensuring minimal output impedance under small-signal conditions.
It features a positive temperature coefficient (+5 × 10⁻⁴/°C) near 10 V, enabling predictable drift behavior in temperature-varying environments. Designed for surface-mount use in SOT-23 package, it supports thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 420 K/W on FR-4 board and maximum junction temperature of 150 °C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BLT1G | 10 V nominal, ±5 %, 200 mW Ptot, SOT-23, 30 Ω ZZ at 20 mA | Higher test current (20 mA) and lower power rating reduce low-current stability and thermal margin | Select when legacy design uses ON Semiconductor footprint and higher test current is acceptable |
| 1N4740A | 10 V nominal, ±5 %, 1 W Ptot, DO-41 through-hole, 17 Ω ZZ at 25 mA | Through-hole package and 25 mA IZT incompatible with SMT-only layouts and low-current biasing | Select only for through-hole prototyping or high-power dissipation needs exceeding 300 mW |
Compared with BZX84C10-G3-08, MMBZ5240BLT1G offers identical voltage grade but trades off thermal robustness and low-current regulation for smaller die size, while 1N4740A delivers superior power handling and lower ZZ at the cost of PCB real estate and assembly compatibility.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for BZX84C10-G3-08?
The BZX84C10-G3-08 has a nominal zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 9.50 V and 10.50 V when tested at 5 mA. This "C" grade designation follows the international E24 standard and is confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet revision 1.1 (24-Jan-2024), Document Number 86345. The BZX84C10-G3-08 maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Does BZX84C10-G3-08 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, the BZX84C10-G3-08 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It belongs to the commercial-grade "G3" variant (green, non-automotive). While the BZX84-G Series offers an AEC-Q101-qualified option upon request, that version carries a distinct part number not including "-G3-08". The BZX84C10-G3-08 retains all other key specifications - including >8 kV HBM ESD rating and 150 °C junction temperature - but lacks formal automotive stress-test validation required for AEC-Q101 certification.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX84C10-G3-08 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The BZX84C10-G3-08 has a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW when mounted on an FR-4 printed circuit board using Vishay's recommended soldering footprint. This value assumes proper thermal relief and copper area per JEDEC 51-3 standards. Its absolute maximum rating is 500 mW only under ideal lead-to-lead thermal conditions (RthJL = 250 K/W), which are not achievable in typical PCB layouts. Engineers must design heatsinking and current limiting accordingly to avoid exceeding 300 mW in real-world BZX84C10-G3-08 implementations.
How does the temperature coefficient of BZX84C10-G3-08 affect its performance?
The BZX84C10-G3-08 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +5 × 10⁻⁴/°C at 5 mA, meaning its zener voltage increases by approximately 0.005 V per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This results in a +0.5 % shift over a 100 °C range - a predictable, linear drift useful for temperature-compensated references. Unlike lower-voltage Zeners with negative coefficients, the BZX84C10-G3-08's behavior avoids cancellation effects in multi-diode networks and simplifies thermal modeling in BZX84C10-G3-08-based designs.
Can BZX84C10-G3-08 be used in place of BZX84B10-G3-08?
No, BZX84C10-G3-08 is not a direct replacement for BZX84B10-G3-08. While both share the same 10 V nominal zener voltage and SOT-23 package, the "C" suffix denotes ±5 % tolerance (9.50–10.50 V), whereas the "B" suffix indicates tighter ±2 % tolerance (9.80–10.20 V). Substituting BZX84C10-G3-08 into a design relying on the narrower B-grade window may cause out-of-spec operation - especially in precision reference or feedback loops. Always verify tolerance requirements before interchanging BZX84C10-G3-08 and BZX84B10-G3-08.
