Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B43-QF from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with 43 V nominal breakdown voltage, 375 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, and 41.2 mV/K temperature coefficient, housed in SOT323 (SC-70) package for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B43-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B43-QF pinout, BZX84W-B43-QF application, or BZX84W-B43-QF equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 43 V regulation under transient surge conditions up to 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 43 V reference across its cathode-anode terminals, with low 375 Ω dynamic impedance ensuring minimal voltage deviation under load current variation. Its 41.2 mV/K positive temperature coefficient compensates for thermal drift in high-temperature automotive environments.
The device delivers 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation for 100 µs pulses and sustains 275 mW steady-state power on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. It exhibits 0.6 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias, enabling use in high-frequency noise suppression circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance (42.1–43.9 V range), defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 375 Ω at IZ = 2 mA, determines output voltage stability under varying load current. |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +41.2 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA, enables predictable thermal drift compensation in wide-temperature automotive systems. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs, supports transient surge suppression without failure. |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 0.6 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V, ensures minimal signal loading in RF-coupled protection paths. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, guarantees low conduction loss during forward-biased operation. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB, sets continuous thermal design boundary. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts and reflow/wave soldering per IPC-7095 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in regulation path. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node for Zener clamping action. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, HAST, and ESD testing per JESD47. |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation margins than ±5 % variants, reducing need for post-regulation trimming. |
| Low 0.6 pF junction capacitance | Minimizes high-frequency signal distortion in EMI filter and RF detector applications. |
| 40 W non-repetitive peak power | Handles ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2/5a transients without degradation in 12 V/24 V vehicle networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C43-Q | ±5 % tolerance (40–46 V range), 400 Ω rdif, same package and PZSM. | Acceptable where system-level tolerance budgets allow wider regulation window. | Select for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical subsystems where 43 V ±5 % meets functional safety requirements. |
| MMSZ43ET1G | ±5 % tolerance, 43 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W), not automotive-qualified. | Use only in industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 compliance and SOT323 density are not required. |
Compared with BZX84W-C43-Q, the BZX84W-B43-QF offers tighter 2 % tolerance and lower dynamic impedance for improved regulation accuracy; versus MMSZ43ET1G, it provides AEC-Q101 validation and superior thermal performance in space-constrained automotive PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse power rating for BZX84W-B43-QF?
The BZX84W-B43-QF is rated for 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation at tp = 100 µs and Tamb = 25 °C, validated per IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings. This value decreases with longer pulse durations per Figure 1 in the datasheet, and derating is required above 25 °C ambient.
How does the 41.2 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
The +41.2 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage increases by 41.2 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature at IZ = 2 mA. Over a −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, this contributes approximately ±6.8 V drift, which is mitigated by system-level thermal design and tolerance stacking in automotive applications.
Is Pin 2 truly unconnected, and can it be left floating on the PCB?
Yes, Pin 2 is internally not connected (n.c.) per Table 2 of the datasheet. It must remain electrically floating-no solder mask opening, via, or trace connection is permitted. The SOT323 footprint in Figure 9 shows no pad assigned to Pin 2, confirming its isolation.
Does BZX84W-B43-QF meet automotive qualification requirements for under-hood applications?
Yes, the BZX84W-B43-QF is qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D for discrete semiconductors, including stress tests for high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and humidity testing (HAST). Its 150 °C max junction temperature and −55 °C to +150 °C storage range support under-hood deployment.
