Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, 31.0–35.0 V range at 2.0 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for voltage-sensitive circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW - maximum continuous power handling at ambient temperature, limiting usable current in regulation applications |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 325 Ω max at 2.0 mA - determines voltage regulation stability under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 27.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift with temperature, critical for accuracy in automotive environments |
| Package | SOT23 - compact 3-pin surface-mount outline enabling high-density PCB layout and reflow compatibility |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5257ET1G | 33 V nominal, 500 mW PD, 100 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA - higher power, lower impedance, non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; suitable for commercial power supplies but not automotive ECUs | Select when higher surge energy handling and tighter regulation under load are required, and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| BZX84-C33-7-F | Identical electrical specs, same SOT23 package, but standard (non-automotive) qualification and 3,000/reel tape-and-reel packaging | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; intended for consumer/industrial use where automotive reliability is not mandated | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring identical Zener behavior and smaller order quantities |
Compared with MMSZ5257ET1G and BZX84-C33-7-F, BZX84C33Q-13-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, 10,000/reel packaging, and guaranteed −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient - making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive voltage reference roles.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for BZX84C33Q-13-F?
The Zener voltage is specified at a test current (IZT) of 2.0 mA, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of DS18001 Rev. 33-2. This current establishes the operating point for measuring nominal 33 V breakdown and associated parameters like ZZT and temperature coefficient.
Is BZX84C33Q-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - the device uses matte tin finish annealed over Alloy 42 leadframe and is fully RoHS 3 compliant. It meets MIL-STD-202 Method 208 for solderability and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature.
How does the Q suffix differ from standard BZX84C33 parts?
The "Q" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, meaning this variant undergoes additional stress testing (HTGB, HTRB, TCT, ESD) per automotive standards. Electrically identical to non-Q versions, it carries full automotive traceability and lot-level reliability data.
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown?
The rated Zener voltage is 33 V nominal, with a guaranteed minimum of 31.0 V and maximum of 35.0 V at 2.0 mA. Below 27.4 V (VR), reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 µA - confirming no significant conduction occurs until near the specified breakdown range.
