Product details
Overview
BZX84C13Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 13V, 350mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 5mA test current with 12.4–14.1V zener voltage range, 30Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 0.1µA maximum reverse leakage at 8V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive power rail monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C13Q-13-F datasheet, BZX84C13Q-13-F pinout, BZX84C13Q-13-F application, or BZX84C13Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±4.6%), thermal resistance (357°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT23 terminal configuration for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across 5mA nominal test current and maintains stable performance from –65°C to +150°C. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low temperature coefficient (±7.0mV/°C).
The device delivers 350mW power dissipation under ambient-temperature terminal conditions and exhibits 30Ω dynamic impedance at 5mA, enabling accurate voltage clamping in low-power analog sensing and microcontroller reset circuits.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4688-TP (Micro Commercial) | 13V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500mW PD, SOD-123 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Larger footprint (SOD-123), higher power rating but lacks automotive reliability validation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 requirement and board space permits larger package |
| BZX84-C13-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Identical electrical specs, same SOT23 package, but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece for -13-F variant | No functional difference; only packaging quantity and reel size differ | Select when smaller batch procurement or prototyping volume aligns with 3k reel capacity |
Compared with MMSZ4688-TP and BZX84-C13-7-F, the BZX84C13Q-13-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 10k-reel packaging, and green compound compliance-making it optimal for high-volume automotive production where traceability, reliability, and environmental compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C13Q-13-F has a nominal zener voltage of 13V with a guaranteed range of 12.4V to 14.1V at 5mA test current. Its breakdown occurs within this range under reverse bias; it is not rated for sustained operation above 14.1V without exceeding power limits or risking parametric shift.
Is this part suitable for use in a 12V automotive system with load dump transients?
Yes - its 13V zener voltage and 350mW rating allow it to clamp typical 12V system load dump transients (up to ~35V for 100ms) when used with appropriate series current-limiting resistance. The AEC-Q101 qualification confirms robustness against automotive stress profiles including temperature cycling and vibration.
How does the Q suffix in BZX84C13Q-13-F affect its specifications?
The "Q" denotes automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q101 standards, including extended temperature range validation (–65°C to +150°C), enhanced reliability testing (HTSL, uHAST), and stricter process controls. Electrical parameters remain identical to non-Q variants except for tighter lot-to-lot consistency requirements.
Can this Zener be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched breakdown voltages, causing current hogging and thermal instability when paralleled. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt circuit.
