Product details
Overview
BZX84C30-7-F 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 analog circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 30V at 2.0mA 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-F datasheet, BZX84C30-7-F pinout, BZX84C30-7-F application, or BZX84C30-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (357°C/W), RoHS/Green compliance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent electrical performance and high reliability across industrial temperature range (–65°C to +150°C).
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –2.0 mV/°C near 30V, enabling predictable drift compensation in voltage-reference designs. The device is rated for 350mW power dissipation when leads are held at ambient temperature, with derating above +25°C per Fig. 1.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5257BS-7-F | 30V Zener, 200mW rating, SOT323 package, higher ZZT = 100Ω at 20mA | Lower power handling limits use in sustained-clamp scenarios; smaller footprint reduces thermal mass | Select when board space is constrained and peak pulse energy is low (e.g., ESD-only protection) |
| BZX84-C30,115 | Same 30V/350mW spec, but in SOT23-3L with different marking and packaging (10,000/reel) | No functional difference; identical electrical and thermal behavior; differs only in reel quantity and date-code format | Select for volume procurement where tape-and-reel count (10k vs 3k) aligns with production planning |
Compared with MMBZ5257BS-7-F, BZX84C30-7-F offers 75% higher power margin and lower impedance for sustained regulation; versus BZX84-C30,115, it shares identical performance but differs in packaging logistics and traceability format.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX84C30-7-F at 85°C ambient?
At 85°C ambient, the device's power derating curve (Fig. 1, Note 7) reduces max dissipation to ~245mW. Dividing by 30V yields ~8.2mA maximum continuous Zener current. This assumes no additional PCB copper heatsinking beyond the standard FR-4 pad layout.
Does BZX84C30-7-F support reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - its SOT23 package and matte tin finish meet J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, allowing unlimited floor life and compatibility with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 30 sec max). No pre-bake required prior to assembly.
How does the –2.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient impact voltage reference design?
This negative coefficient means output voltage decreases by 2mV per °C rise. In precision references, it can be compensated using a positive-TC resistor or paired with a forward-biased diode; uncorrected, it causes ~60mV drift over –40°C to +85°C span.
Is BZX84C30-7-F suitable for use in life support equipment?
No - Diodes Incorporated explicitly prohibits use in life support devices or systems without written CEO approval. Its qualification covers industrial and automotive applications, but not safety-critical medical functions per the Life Support Notice in DS18001 Rev. 33-2.
