Product details
Overview
BZX84C47Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 47 V, 350 mW 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 47 V at 2 mA test current, with ±6.4% tolerance (44–50 V), 170 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA, and <0.1 µA reverse leakage at 32.9 V, commonly used in power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C47Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84C47Q-7-F pinout, BZX84C47Q-7-F application, or BZX84C47Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (357 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 footprint compatibility, and low reverse leakage under partial bias conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent voltage regulation, while the SOT23 package enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with automated pick-and-place assembly.
The device is rated for 350 mW power dissipation at ambient temperature, with thermal resistance of 357 °C/W when terminals are held at ambient - critical for derating calculations in enclosed or thermally constrained environments. Temperature coefficient is -3.5 mV/°C, indicating predictable negative drift with rising junction temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ47ET1G | Same 47 V nominal, but 500 mW rating and higher ZZT (250 Ω); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Preferred for industrial non-automotive use where higher power margin is needed but automotive reliability not required. | Select when thermal headroom >350 mW is critical and AEC-Q101 is unnecessary. |
| BZX84-C47,115 | Identical electrical specs but standard (non-automotive) grade; RoHS-compliant but not AEC-Q101 tested. | Suitable for consumer electronics where cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements. | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial designs lacking automotive environmental stress testing needs. |
Compared with MMSZ47ET1G and BZX84-C47,115, the BZX84C47Q-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, green compound compliance, and SOT23 footprint - making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive voltage reference functions without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The BZX84C47Q-7-F has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V at 2 mA test current, with a guaranteed breakdown range of 44–50 V. It begins regulating at approximately 44 V and maintains stable clamping up to its 350 mW power limit - exceeding 50 V risks thermal runaway unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Is this part suitable for use in a 48 V automotive system?
Yes - the 47 V Zener voltage provides appropriate headroom for 48 V nominal systems, especially during cold-crank or load-dump conditions. Its AEC-Q101 qualification, −40°C to +150°C operating range, and 357 °C/W thermal resistance make it suitable for under-hood applications when mounted on adequate copper area.
How does the "Q" suffix affect packaging and reliability?
The "Q" denotes automotive qualification per AEC-Q101, including enhanced process controls, lot traceability, and extended reliability testing (HTOL, TC, UHAST). Packaging remains SOT23 with 3,000-unit tape-and-reel - identical form factor to standard versions but with full automotive documentation and screening.
Can this Zener replace a 5.1 V version in the same footprint?
No - while both share the SOT23 package, the BZX84C47Q-7-F is electrically incompatible with 5.1 V Zeners due to vastly different breakdown characteristics, impedance, and thermal behavior. Substitution requires full circuit revalidation, including power dissipation, regulation error, and transient response analysis.
