Product details
Overview
BZX84C30Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 30V, 2mA Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350mW power dissipation and qualified to AEC-Q101. It provides precise voltage regulation with ±3.3% tolerance (28.0–32.0V), 80Ω dynamic impedance at 2mA test current, and low 0.1µA reverse leakage at 24.4V, used for overvoltage protection and reference voltage generation in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C30Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84C30Q-7-F pinout, BZX84C30Q-7-F application, or BZX84C30Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (357°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOT23 terminal configuration, and automotive tape-and-reel packaging compliance.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe supports reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −2.0mV/°C near 30V, enabling predictable drift compensation in precision reference circuits. Its 350mW power rating applies under ambient-temperature terminal conditions, with derating required above +25°C per the published power derating curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30V nominal, 28.0–32.0V range at 2mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350mW at TA = +25°C with terminals held at ambient - sets maximum continuous power handling without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80Ω at IZT = 2mA - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1µA max at VR = 24.4V - ensures minimal standby current in voltage-clamp applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357°C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt dissipated on FR-4 board |
| Temperature Coefficient | −2.0mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift correction in temperature-sensitive references |
| Package | SOT23 - surface-mount 3-terminal package with standardized footprint for automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic case with cathode-marked top-side orientation; terminals are anode (pin 1), cathode (pin 2), and anode (pin 3) - internally shorted pins 1 and 3 form the anode connection, pin 2 is cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Primary anode connection; electrically tied to pin 3 for low-inductance, high-current anode path |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Zener breakdown occurs between this terminal and anode; marked side of package identifies this pin |
| Pin 3 | Anode | Secondary anode connection; internal bond wire parallel to pin 1 reduces series resistance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood and cabin applications requiring high reliability and extended temperature operation |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - meets global environmental compliance mandates |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | No floor life limitation before reflow - eliminates baking requirements for production assembly |
| Matte tin lead finish | RoHS-compliant plating with proven solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208 |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|

Use Value: Ensures diagnostic subsystem only powers up when main supply exceeds 28V, preventing erratic behavior. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5261B-7-F | Same 30V nominal Zener voltage but 200mW rating and ±5% tolerance; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade power supplies and non-automotive instrumentation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and tighter voltage tolerance |
| BZX84-C30LT1G | Identical 30V rating and AEC-Q101 qualification, but uses SOT-23-3L package with different pin 3 internal connection | Requires PCB layout revision due to alternate pinout; same thermal performance | Choose only if legacy design uses ON Semiconductor's pinout convention and sourcing flexibility is critical |
Compared with MMBZ5261B-7-F and BZX84-C30LT1G, BZX84C30Q-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±3.3% voltage tolerance, and SOT23 pinout compatibility - making it the preferred choice for new automotive designs requiring robust voltage reference stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) rating for BZX84C30Q-7-F?
The maximum reverse voltage is 24.4V - this is the voltage at which reverse leakage current is specified (0.1µA). Operation above this voltage initiates controlled Zener breakdown, with full regulation occurring at the nominal 30V Zener voltage under 2mA test current. Exceeding 32.0V risks irreversible avalanche failure.
Is BZX84C30Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin-plated terminals qualified to MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and supports standard JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free reflow profiles. Its moisture sensitivity level is 1, eliminating pre-bake requirements and enabling direct placement into high-temperature reflow ovens up to 260°C peak.
How does the Q suffix in BZX84C30Q-7-F affect its specifications?
The "Q" denotes automotive qualification per AEC-Q101, including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life. Electrically identical to standard BZX84C30-7-F, the Q version guarantees lot-level traceability, extended temperature range (−65°C to +150°C), and zero defects in automotive production environments.
Can BZX84C30Q-7-F replace BZX84C33Q-7-F in a circuit?
No - the 30V and 33V variants have non-overlapping Zener voltage ranges (28.0–32.0V vs. 31.0–35.0V). Substitution would shift regulation point by ≥1V, potentially violating downstream IC absolute maximum ratings or degrading reference accuracy beyond acceptable limits in precision applications.
