Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B30X from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 30 V breakdown voltage, 300 Ω typical differential resistance at 2 mA, and 26.6 mV/K temperature coefficient, housed in an SOT323 (SC-70) package for precision low-power voltage reference and clamping in space-constrained analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B30X datasheet, BZX84W-B30X pinout, BZX84W-B30X application, or BZX84W-B30X equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, terminal mapping, thermal limits, and direct-fit alternatives for stable 30 V regulation in industrial sensor interfaces, power supply feedback paths, and overvoltage protection circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 30 V reference across load variations, with a 26.6 mV/K temperature coefficient enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C.
Its 300 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA ensures tight regulation under small-signal current changes, while the 275 mW total power dissipation rating-measured on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper-defines safe DC and pulsed operating boundaries.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.4 V to 30.6 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation window for 30 V reference design |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 300 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | 26.6 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max at VR = 21 V - specifies leakage level below breakdown, critical for low-power standby |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW - maximum continuous DC power on standard FR4 PCB, defining thermal derating envelope |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - sets forward conduction threshold for bidirectional clamp use cases |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - absolute limit for silicon reliability; requires thermal resistance management |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, leadless construction, and standard reflow footprint (2.65 mm × 2.35 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Connects to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current when used as rectifier |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internal die pad with no electrical connection; must remain unconnected in PCB layout |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Connects to higher-potential node in reverse-bias; source of regulated Zener current in shunt regulator topology |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables high-accuracy voltage references without post-production trimming in 30 V systems |
| 275 mW power rating on FR4 | Supports reliable operation in compact consumer and industrial PCBs without heatsinking |
| 300 Ω differential resistance | Minimizes output voltage variation under ±0.1 mA load current shifts in feedback networks |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Allows deployment in under-hood or enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow |
| SOT323 ultra-small footprint | Reduces board area by >50 % vs. SOT23, enabling dense mixed-signal layout in wearables and IoT nodes |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Switching Power Supply Feedback |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision Zener element in secondary-side TL431 replacement circuit, defining 30 V regulation threshold. Use Value: 300 Ω rdif ensures minimal loop gain variation across line/load transients; 275 mW rating supports continuous duty-cycle operation. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamp | Low-Power Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V I/O pins against ESD and surge events up to ±15 kV in handheld medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp using forward conduction (VF ≤ 0.9 V) and reverse Zener action (30 V) to limit transient excursions. Use Value: Low 50 nA leakage at 21 V prevents battery drain in always-on modes; SOT323 size fits within 1.2 mm board edge keep-out zones. |
Use Scenario: Generating clean reset signal for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU during brown-out conditions in battery-powered asset trackers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-based voltage monitor triggering external reset IC when supply drops below 2.7 V threshold. Use Value: Tight 29.4–30.6 V range allows accurate resistor-divider scaling to 2.7 V; 150 °C Tj rating ensures reliability during solder reflow and field thermal cycling. |
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 | ±5 % tolerance (28.5–32.0 V), 300 Ω rdif, same SOT323 package | Acceptable where 30 V accuracy < ±5 % suffices; lower cost for non-critical biasing | Select for cost-sensitive designs where 1.2 V regulation window is acceptable |
| MMSZ4686T1G | ±5 % tolerance (28.5–31.5 V), 200 Ω rdif, SOD-123 package (larger footprint) | Higher power handling (500 mW), but 3.7 mm × 1.6 mm body increases board area | Choose when thermal margin >275 mW is required and PCB real estate permits larger package |
Compared with BZX84W-B30X, BZX84W-C30 trades tighter voltage control for lower unit cost, while MMSZ4686T1G offers improved thermal performance at the expense of footprint size-making BZX84W-B30X optimal for space-constrained, high-accuracy 30 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZX84W-B30X at 21 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 50 nA at VR = 21 V, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in battery-powered systems and preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference dividers where current draw must stay below 100 nA.
Can BZX84W-B30X be used in place of a 30 V Zener with ±5 % tolerance?
Yes, but only where tighter regulation is beneficial. BZX84W-B30X provides ±2 % tolerance (29.4–30.6 V) versus ±5 % (28.5–31.5 V) for C-series variants. Its lower differential resistance (300 Ω vs. same value) and matched temperature coefficient improve stability, making it suitable for upgraded reference designs without layout change.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for BZX84W-B30X on FR4 PCB?
Rth(j-a) is 455 K/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and the recommended footprint. At 275 mW dissipation, this yields a 125 K temperature rise above ambient-requiring derating to 150 mW at 70 °C ambient to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Is Pin 2 electrically functional in the SOT323 package?
No. Pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in Nexperia's pinning diagram and internal die construction. It is an isolated thermal pad with no bond wire attachment. PCB layout must leave this terminal unconnected to avoid unintended shorts or parasitic coupling in high-frequency applications.
