Product details
Overview
BZX84C47Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 47 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 2 mA test current with ±6% voltage tolerance (44–50 V), 170 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 32.9 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive power rail monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C47Q-13-F datasheet, BZX84C47Q-13-F pinout, BZX84C47Q-13-F application, or BZX84C47Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 terminal layout, and low leakage performance at rated reverse voltage.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 47 V regulation point at 2 mA test current. Its planar die construction ensures stable voltage characteristics across temperature, and its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive environments requiring high reliability under thermal cycling and vibration stress.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C and total capacitance of ~10 pF at 1 V reverse bias. Its 350 mW power rating applies under ambient-temperature terminal conditions, with derating required above +25°C per the published curve (Fig. 1).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V nominal, 44–50 V range at 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 12 V/24 V automotive supply rails. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350 mW - maximum continuous power under ambient-temperature terminal conditions; supports compact PCB layout without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 170 Ω at 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness; lower impedance yields tighter voltage stability under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at 32.9 V - ensures minimal standby current in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard FR-4 board; critical for thermal design margin. |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case, 0.008 g weight, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction path / cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased during Zener operation. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Connected to regulated node; maintains 47 V relative to anode when reverse current ≥2 mA flows. |
| Collector / NC (Pin 3) | Non-connected internal tie | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated and must not be used for signal or thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and Diodes Inc.'s "Green" definition. |
| Planar die construction | Enables tight Zener voltage distribution and stable long-term parametric drift under thermal stress. |
| SOT23 tape-and-reel packaging (10,000 pcs) | Optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly; eliminates manual handling and improves placement yield in automotive PCB manufacturing. |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Monitoring | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 24 V battery rail in engine control units to detect overvoltage faults before damaging downstream logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamp limiting input to protection circuitry; referenced to ground with cathode tied to rail.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end clamp referenced to local ground; paired with TVS for bidirectional protection. Use Value: Low 0.1 µA leakage at 32.9 V avoids loading high-impedance receiver inputs during normal operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ47VCLT1G | Same 47 V nominal, but 200 mW PD, 220 Ω ZZT, and no AEC-Q101 rating. | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer or industrial boards. | Select when cost is prioritized over automotive reliability and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| BZX84-C47,115 | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 rating, but packaged in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel (−7-F suffix) instead of 10,000 (−13-F). | No functional difference; choice depends solely on production volume and reel change frequency. | Select when smaller reels reduce line changeover time or match existing inventory planning cycles. |
Compared with MMBZ47VCLT1G, BZX84C47Q-13-F delivers higher power headroom and automotive qualification; compared with BZX84-C47,115, it offers identical performance with optimized logistics for high-volume automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C47Q-13-F?
The device begins regulating at 44 V (minimum Zener voltage) and reaches full breakdown at 47 V nominal under 2 mA test current. It maintains stable regulation up to 50 V (maximum specified VZ) and withstands up to 32.9 V with ≤0.1 µA leakage-beyond which reverse current rises sharply.
Is BZX84C47Q-13-F suitable for use in high-humidity environments?
Yes. Its SOT23 package meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow. The UL 94V-0 mold compound and annealed matte tin plating also resist corrosion in humid under-hood automotive conditions.
How does the −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
This negative coefficient means output voltage decreases by 3.5 mV per degree Celsius rise. For a 47 V reference operating from −40°C to +125°C, total drift is approximately −577.5 mV. Designers must compensate via resistor networks or select complementary components to maintain system accuracy.
Can BZX84C47Q-13-F replace BZX84C47-13-F in an existing design?
Yes-mechanically and electrically identical. The "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification; all electrical parameters, package dimensions, pinout, and marking are unchanged. No layout or firmware modifications are required for drop-in replacement in automotive designs.
