Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B30-QX from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with 30 V nominal breakdown voltage, 300 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It operates in SOT323 (SC-70) package, delivers stable reference voltage in power supply feedback loops, and supports high-frequency decoupling in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B30-QX datasheet, BZX84W-B30-QX pinout, BZX84W-B30-QX application, or BZX84W-B30-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (455 K/W), non-repetitive surge capability (40 W), and automotive-grade reliability validation per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Zener diode regulates reverse-biased voltage with a precisely defined 30 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ) at IZ = 2 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +26.6 mV/K across its operating current range. Its low 1.0 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias enables stable performance in high-frequency noise suppression circuits.
The device sustains 200 mA maximum forward current and withstands non-repetitive peak reverse power up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses. Junction temperature is rated to 150 °C, and it is mounted on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, defining its thermal derating behavior and power dissipation limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; tight ±2% tolerance ensures precise voltage reference in feedback networks |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 300 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA; determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in shunt regulator designs |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max at VR = 0.7 × VZ; guarantees low leakage in standby and low-power monitoring circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines continuous DC power handling under standard mounting conditions |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 455 K/W junction-to-ambient; sets thermal derating slope (≈0.6 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient) |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs; enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 1.0 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V; minimizes signal distortion and phase shift in RF bypass applications |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals; compact 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint and 0.65 mm pitch enable high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; connected to lower-potential node in Zener regulation configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Electrically isolated terminal; no internal bond wire or semiconductor connection; must remain unconnected |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Zener breakdown terminal; connected to higher-potential node and provides regulated reference voltage at cathode-to-anode potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules |
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter closed-loop regulation in precision power supplies without post-manufacturing trimming |
| Low 1.0 pF junction capacitance | Preserves signal integrity in >100 MHz filtering and EMI suppression paths without resonance or attenuation |

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% Zener voltage tolerance (28.5–32.0 V range) vs. ±2% (29.4–30.6 V); otherwise identical package, power rating, and AEC-Q101 status | Acceptable where system-level tolerance budget allows ±1.5 V reference variation; not suitable for high-precision ADC references | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for tight voltage regulation in non-critical biasing functions |
| MMSZ5261B-TP | Same 30 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but SOD-123 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to industrial/commercial applications; unsuitable for automotive due to lack of stress-test validation | Choose only for non-automotive designs where board space permits larger package and qualification is not required |
Compared with BZX84W-C30-Q, the BZX84W-B30-QX offers tighter regulation critical for precision feedback, while MMSZ5261B-TP trades automotive qualification and thermal performance for legacy footprint compatibility-neither matches the combined AEC-Q101 compliance, ±2% tolerance, and SOT323 miniaturization of the original.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX84W-B30-QX at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the device's power dissipation must be derated linearly from 275 mW at 25 °C using its 455 K/W thermal resistance. The allowable power is 275 mW − ((85 − 25) × 0.604 mW/°C) = 239 mW. This ensures junction temperature remains ≤150 °C under steady-state operation.
Is pin 2 (n.c.) required to be left floating or can it be grounded?
Pin 2 is internally not connected-no bond wire or semiconductor structure links to it. It must remain electrically unconnected (floating) on the PCB; grounding or routing traces to it introduces risk of mechanical shorting or unintended parasitic coupling and violates the manufacturer's mounting specification.
How does the +26.6 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
The +26.6 mV/K coefficient means VZ increases by 26.6 mV per 1 K rise in junction temperature. Over a −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range (assuming 25 °C rise due to self-heating), total drift is ≈4.4 V-fully within the ±2% initial tolerance band and compensated by system-level calibration in precision applications.
Can BZX84W-B30-QX replace BZX84W-B30-Q in a design?
Yes-BZX84W-B30-QX is the automotive-qualified variant of BZX84W-B30-Q, sharing identical electrical specifications, package, and marking. The "-QX" suffix denotes full AEC-Q101 qualification and extended traceability; it is a direct drop-in replacement where automotive reliability is mandated.
