Product details
Overview
BZX84C4V7Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 4.7V Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 350mW power dissipation, ±5% zener voltage tolerance (4.4V–5.0V), 80Ω maximum zener impedance at 5mA test current, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for high-reliability automotive power rail regulation and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C4V7Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84C4V7Q-7-F pinout, BZX84C4V7Q-7-F application, or BZX84C4V7Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability under 5mA test current, thermal resistance of 357°C/W, reverse leakage of ≤3.0µA at 2.0V, temperature coefficient of −3.5mV/°C, and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and clamp in low-power analog and digital supply rails. It maintains stable 4.7V regulation across −65°C to +150°C operating range with 350mW dissipation capability when terminals are held at ambient temperature.
The diode exhibits 80Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 5mA and 500Ω at IZK = 1.0mA, enabling predictable clamping behavior in transient suppression circuits. Its negative temperature coefficient (−3.5mV/°C) supports predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive bias networks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4704T1G | Same 4.7V nominal, but ±5% tolerance and 500mW rating; higher power derating slope (RθJA = 375°C/W) | Preferred where higher pulse energy handling is needed, e.g., in 24V industrial PLC I/O modules | Select when board-level thermal margin allows higher peak dissipation; not AEC-Q101 qualified |
| BZX84-C4V7E6327HTSA1 | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification, but packaged in reel format per Infineon's E6327 standard | Used in legacy automotive programs requiring Infineon-sourced components and traceability protocols | Choose only if OEM mandates Infineon sourcing; otherwise BZX84C4V7Q-7-F offers identical performance with Diodes Inc. support |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX84C4V7Q-7-F at 2.0V?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 3.0µA at VR = 2.0V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains stable across the full −65°C to +150°C operating range, making it suitable for low-power battery monitoring circuits where standby current must be minimized.
Is BZX84C4V7Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the device uses matte tin finish over Alloy 42 leadframe and is fully RoHS 3 compliant. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature, with no pre-bake required.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a temperature coefficient of −3.5mV/°C, the zener voltage decreases by approximately 0.35V over a 100°C span (e.g., −40°C to +60°C). For applications requiring tighter regulation, this drift must be compensated in system-level calibration or paired with a positive-TC reference.
Can BZX84C4V7Q-7-F replace BZX84C4V7-7-F in existing designs?
Yes - the Q suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, while all electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications match the standard BZX84C4V7-7-F. The automotive version uses the same die, SOT23 package, and marking code (Z1), with added reliability testing and traceability documentation.
