Product details
Overview
BZX84C30Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 30 V, 2 mA nominal Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at ambient temperature, with 80 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2 mA test current and ±0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 24.4 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C30Q-13-F datasheet, BZX84C30Q-13-F pinout, BZX84C30Q-13-F application, or BZX84C30Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (28.0–32.0 V), thermal resistance (357 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, green molding compound compliance, and SOT23 terminal configuration for high-reliability PCB-level regulation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 30 V regulation point at 2 mA test current, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/°C and total capacitance of ~10 pF at 1 V reverse bias. Its planar die construction ensures stable voltage regulation under transient load conditions.
The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, confirming suitability for automotive applications requiring −65 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range, moisture sensitivity level 1, and lead-free matte tin plating compatible with standard reflow profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V nominal, 28.0–32.0 V min/max at 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW at ambient temperature - supports continuous regulation without forced cooling in compact layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω max at 2 mA - ensures low dynamic resistance for stable reference under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at 24.4 V - guarantees minimal standby current in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - enables thermal design margin when mounted on FR-4 with standard pad layout |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.0 mV/°C - allows predictable drift compensation in temperature-critical sensor supply rails |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; forms return path for regulation current |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; sustains reverse bias to maintain 30 V reference |
| NC / Heat Sink (Pin 3) | Non-connected / thermal relief | No internal connection; serves as mechanical anchor and minor thermal path via copper pad |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5256ET1G | 30 V nominal, 500 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT at 20 mA, SOD-123 package | Higher power handling but larger footprint; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and automotive qualification is not mandatory |
| BZX84-C30-7-F | Identical electrical specs, same SOT23 package, but 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece | No functional difference; differs only in packaging quantity and standard (non-automotive) compliance | Select for prototyping or low-volume production where smaller reel size reduces inventory overhead |
Compared with MMSZ5256ET1G, BZX84C30Q-13-F offers automotive qualification and tighter Zener tolerance at lower power, while BZX84-C30-7-F provides identical performance in smaller reels-making the Q-13-F variant optimal for high-volume AEC-compliant production.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) before significant leakage occurs?
The BZX84C30Q-13-F exhibits ≤0.1 µA reverse current at 24.4 V, which is 81% of its nominal Zener voltage. At 27 V (90% of VZ), leakage remains below 1 µA per datasheet Figure 2, confirming reliable blocking behavior well below breakdown threshold.
Is this part suitable for use in a 12 V automotive system?
Yes - the 30 V Zener voltage provides ample margin above 12 V system peaks (typically ≤16 V during load dump). Its AEC-Q101 qualification, −65 °C to +150 °C operating range, and 350 mW dissipation make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin-mounted 12 V subsystems.
How does the "Q" suffix affect specifications?
The "Q" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and green (halogen/antimony-free) molding compound. Electrical parameters, thermal ratings, and package dimensions are identical to non-Q variants - only reliability testing and material composition differ.
Can this diode replace a BZX84C33 in a 3.3 V logic interface?
No - the BZX84C30Q-13-F is a 30 V Zener and cannot regulate or clamp at 3.3 V. Using it in place of a 3.3 V Zener would result in no conduction until ~28 V, leaving the circuit unprotected. Always match nominal Zener voltage to the target regulation level.
