Product details
Overview
BZX84C30-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30V, 350mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power circuits. It delivers nominal Zener voltage of 30V at 2mA test current, with ±6.7% tolerance (28.0–32.0V), 80Ω dynamic impedance at 2mA, and <0.1µA reverse leakage at 24.4V.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C30-7 datasheet, BZX84C30-7 pinout, BZX84C30-7 application, or BZX84C30-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (357°C/W), power derating above +25°C, RoHS/Green compliance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp or regulate voltage with stable reference behavior across temperature. Its planar die construction ensures consistent parametric performance and compatibility with reflow soldering in automated SMT lines.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5mV/°C near 30V, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. The device is rated for operation from −65°C to +150°C and features matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leads for reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30V nominal at 2mA; min/max 28.0–32.0V - defines clamping threshold in protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 350mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80Ω at IZT = 2mA - determines regulation stiffness under small-signal load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.1µA at VR = 24.4V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby voltage-monitoring paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357°C/W - governs junction temperature rise under ambient conditions with no heatsinking |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift correction in temperature-sensitive references |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - compact 3-pin surface-mount plastic case (2.4mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5261B-7-F | Same 30V nominal Zener, but 350mW rating, 100Ω ZZT, higher leakage (0.5µA @ 24.4V) | Slightly looser regulation; less suitable for precision reference use | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stiffness |
| BZX84-C30,115 | Identical electrical specs, same SOT23 package, but Nexperia marking and different tape/reel packaging (10k vs 3k) | No functional difference; logistics-driven substitution | Valid drop-in replacement if sourcing flexibility required |
Compared with MMBZ5261B-7-F and BZX84-C30,115, the BZX84C30-7 offers tighter Zener impedance (80Ω vs 100Ω) and lower leakage, making it optimal for precision voltage monitoring while maintaining full AEC-Q101 qualification and Green compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C30-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 30V at 2mA test current, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 28.0V and 32.0V. It is not rated for sustained operation above 32.0V - exceeding this risks irreversible thermal runaway unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Is this part suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the BZX84C30-7 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and manufactured with Green molding compound. It supports operating temperatures from −65°C to +150°C and is widely deployed in automotive body electronics, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interface protection circuits.
How does the temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
With a temperature coefficient of −3.5mV/°C, the Zener voltage decreases by approximately 0.35V over a 100°C rise. This predictable drift allows designers to compensate reference points in temperature-critical applications such as battery voltage monitors or precision ADC references.
What is the significance of the "-7" suffix in the part number?
The "-7" denotes standard-compliance packaging: 3,000 units per 8mm tape-and-reel, optimized for pick-and-place assembly. It distinguishes the part from automotive-grade "Q-7-F" variants and higher-volume "-13-F" (10,000/reel) versions - all sharing identical electrical and thermal characteristics.
