Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B30-QF from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 30 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 275 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It provides stable voltage reference in low-power regulation and protection circuits, including ECU power rail clamping and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B30-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B30-QF pinout, BZX84W-B30-QF application, or BZX84W-B30-QF equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (455 K/W), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 30.0 V at IZ = 5 mA, differential resistance of 300 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA, and temperature coefficient of +26.6 mV/K. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 455 K/W on standard FR4 PCB.
The SOT323 package features three terminals: anode (Pin 1), not-connected (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3), enabling compact placement in space-constrained automotive modules. Reverse leakage current is limited to 50 nA at VR = 0.7 × VZnom.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.4 V to 30.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for 30 V rail stabilization |
| Tolerance | ±2% - ensures tight voltage accuracy critical for automotive sensor reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 board |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 300 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 50 nA at VR = 21 V - minimizes quiescent current in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Surge Capability (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 455 K/W - defines junction temperature rise per watt under natural convection cooling |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, 1.3 mm × 1.8 mm footprint, and 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; connected to lower-potential side in Zener regulation configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internal die pad with no electrical connection; must remain unconnected in PCB layout |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-bias terminal; connected to higher-potential side and output node in shunt regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
| Wide voltage range (2.4–75 V) | Single-series compatibility across 74 Zener voltages simplifies BOM consolidation |
| Low capacitance (1.0 pF) | Enables high-frequency noise filtering and RF decoupling without signal distortion |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets automotive environmental compliance requirements for solder reflow and end-of-life handling |
| Standard SC-70 footprint | Ensures drop-in replacement capability and compatibility with existing SMT assembly lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C30-Q | ±5% tolerance (28.5–32.0 V), higher max leakage (50 nA same), identical package and power rating | Acceptable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required, e.g., non-critical power sequencing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision needs |
| MMSZ4700T1G | 30 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 300 Ω rdif, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher power handling but larger footprint and no automotive qualification | Prefer for industrial non-automotive designs requiring higher continuous dissipation |
Compared with BZX84W-B30-QF, BZX84W-C30-Q trades voltage accuracy for broader tolerance acceptance, while MMSZ4700T1G offers higher power at the expense of automotive qualification and board space - making BZX84W-B30-QF optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 30 V?
The BZX84W-B30-QF is rated for 275 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient. At 30 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of 9.2 mA (275 mW ÷ 30 V). Derating applies above 25 °C per the 455 K/W thermal resistance.
Is Pin 2 electrically functional or a mechanical dummy lead?
Pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in the official Nexperia datasheet and has no internal bond wire or die connection. It serves only as a mechanical anchor and must remain unconnected in PCB layout and schematic symbol to avoid unintended shorts or parasitic coupling.
How does the +26.6 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation stability?
The positive temperature coefficient means VZ increases by 26.6 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. At 125 °C junction temperature (100 K above 25 °C), VZ rises by ~2.66 V - resulting in a final value near 32.7 V. This must be accounted for in high-temperature automotive applications where regulation margin is critical.
Can this part replace older BZX84C30LT1G in an existing design?
Yes, with caveats: both are 30 V Zeners in SOT-23 packages, but BZX84W-B30-QF uses SOT323 (smaller), has ±2% tolerance vs ±5%, and is AEC-Q101 qualified. Layout redesign is required for footprint compatibility, and the tighter tolerance may alter regulation behavior in sensitive feedback loops.
