Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B10-QF from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 10 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, with 150 Ω typical differential resistance and 6.4 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in automotive power supply rails and low-power sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B10-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B10-QF pinout, BZX84W-B10-QF application, or BZX84W-B10-QF equivalent, this page provides verified Zener parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (455 K/W), reverse leakage (200 nA at 7 V), and SOT323 terminal mapping for layout and reliability validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain precise 10 V regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions. Its ±2% tolerance (B-series), 150 °C max junction temperature, and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for automotive body control modules and engine management subsystems requiring stable voltage references.
The device exhibits 150 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, 200 nA reverse leakage at VR = 7 V, and a positive 6.4 mV/K temperature coefficient - enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.80 V to 10.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures tight regulation window for precision reference applications |
| Tolerance | ±2% (B-series) - reduces calibration overhead in production test of automotive ECUs |
| Differential Resistance | 150 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - limits output impedance impact on load regulation stability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 200 nA at VR = 7 V - minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-powered sensors |
| Total Power Dissipation | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB - defines maximum continuous DC power handling in compact layouts |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 455 K/W - determines junction temperature rise under load; critical for thermal derating in sealed enclosures |
| Temperature Coefficient | +6.4 mV/K - enables predictable voltage drift modeling across −40 °C to +125 °C operating range |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals; footprint compatible with standard reflow soldering per Figure 9 in datasheet Rev. 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in Zener configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node to enable Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards |
| Low reverse leakage | 200 nA at 7 V enables microamp-level standby current in always-on vehicle modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5240B | 10 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 170 Ω differential resistance, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Rated for commercial/industrial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and ±5% tolerance is acceptable |
| Vishay BZX84-C10 | 10 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (C-series), 170 Ω differential resistance, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher tolerance increases calibration time in production; identical thermal and surge ratings | Choose when AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory but tighter tolerance is not required for system-level accuracy |
Compared with BZX84W-B10-QF, MMBZ5240B lacks automotive qualification and offers looser tolerance, while BZX84-C10 retains AEC-Q101 compliance but sacrifices regulation precision - making the B-series part optimal for safety-critical voltage references where both qualification and ±2% accuracy are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX84W-B10-QF can sustain at 25 °C ambient?
The device is rated for 200 mA maximum forward current (IF), but its Zener operation relies on reverse bias. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 PCB, the 275 mW total power dissipation limit corresponds to ~27.5 mA continuous reverse current at 10 V (P = V × I). Exceeding this requires thermal derating per the 455 K/W Rth(j-a) value.
How does the "QF" suffix in BZX84W-B10-QF differ from standard BZX84W-B10-Q?
The "QF" suffix denotes Nexperia's specific tape-and-reel packaging variant compliant with EIA-481-D standards, featuring 3000 units per reel and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. It shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with the base BZX84W-B10-Q part; the suffix reflects packaging and handling attributes only.
Can BZX84W-B10-QF be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but even within the same batch, slight VZ mismatches cause current hogging. Parallel operation risks thermal runaway and premature failure; use a single higher-power Zener or active regulation instead.
Is the n.c. pin (Pin 2) electrically isolated or tied to internal substrate?
Pin 2 is internally not connected - it is fully isolated from all die structures. The datasheet explicitly states "n.c." (not connected), and the SOT323 outline confirms no internal bond wire or metallization links to this terminal. PCB land should remain unconnected to prevent unintended coupling or solder bridging.
