Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B10-QX 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, 275 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It provides precise voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact high-frequency power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B10-QX datasheet, BZX84W-B10-QX pinout, BZX84W-B10-QX application, or BZX84W-B10-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, automotive-grade thermal and electrical specs, SOT323 terminal mapping, and direct-fit alternatives for ESD-hardened regulation in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator with reverse-biased breakdown behavior. Its 10 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA, with differential resistance of 150 Ω (max) and temperature coefficient of +6.4 mV/K (typ) under same conditions.
The SOT323 package enables surface-mount integration with low thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 455 K/W on FR4), while the "n.c." terminal (Pin 2) is internally unconnected-ensuring no parasitic path affects regulation accuracy or leakage performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 9.80 V to 10.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures ±2% regulation accuracy for stable 10 V reference generation |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤150 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - limits output impedance drift under load variation |
| Reverse Current IR | 200 nA at VR = 7 V - guarantees low standby leakage in battery-powered circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 275 mW on FR4 PCB - defines maximum continuous DC power handling without derating |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Thermal Resistance Rth(j-a) | 455 K/W - determines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt under free-air conditions |
| Capacitance Cd | 90 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and transient response |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals; dimensions: 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H); standard footprint per Fig. 9 (reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; connected to lower-potential rail during regulation |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated terminal - must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-bias connection point; tied to regulated voltage node and current-limiting resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS power domains |
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation margins than ±5% variants, reducing need for post-regulation trimming |
| Low 200 nA leakage at 7 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on subsystems such as CAN wake-up receivers |
| 90 pF junction capacitance | Supports effective high-frequency bypass up to ~200 MHz without resonance issues |
| SOT323 footprint compatibility | Matches industry-standard SC-70 land patterns, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C10-Q | ±5% tolerance (9.4 V–10.6 V), higher max leakage (500 nA at 7 V) | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; not recommended for <0.5% reference stability | Select only when design tolerates wider voltage spread and higher standby current |
| MMSZ4689T1G | 10 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 220 Ω rdif | Larger footprint and higher power rating suit non-space-constrained industrial boards | Choose when thermal margin >275 mW is required or SOD-123 layout already exists |
Compared with BZX84W-B10-QX, BZX84W-C10-Q trades regulation accuracy for cost, while MMSZ4689T1G offers higher power headroom at the expense of board area and thermal resistance-making the BZX84W-B10-QX optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, size-sensitive automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX84W-B10-QX can sustain at 25 °C?
The device does not specify a maximum continuous reverse current; instead, it defines Zener test current (IZ = 5 mA) and limiting values. At 25 °C ambient, sustained operation is constrained by Ptot = 275 mW, yielding a practical IZ limit of ~27.5 mA at 10 V before thermal derating applies. Exceeding this risks junction overheating beyond 150 °C.
Can Pin 2 (n.c.) be left floating or must it be grounded on the PCB?
Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected on the PCB-neither grounded nor tied to any net. Connecting it may introduce parasitic capacitance or leakage paths that degrade regulation accuracy and increase reverse current beyond the specified 200 nA at 7 V.
How does the +6.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation stability over temperature?
The positive temperature coefficient means VZ increases by ~6.4 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. From −40 °C to +125 °C (ΔT = 165 K), this contributes ~1.06 V drift-fully accounted for in the device's guaranteed VZ range (9.80–10.20 V) and validated across its full operating temperature span.
Is the BZX84W-B10-QX suitable for use in high-frequency switching power supply feedback loops?
Yes-the 90 pF junction capacitance and 150 Ω differential resistance enable stable operation up to ~200 MHz, making it suitable for feedback voltage sensing in DC-DC converters operating below 500 kHz. Its low leakage also prevents bias current errors in optocoupler-based isolation circuits.
