Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B47-QF from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with a nominal 47 V breakdown voltage, 375 Ω differential resistance at 2 mA, and 46.1 mV/K temperature coefficient, housed in an AEC-Q101-qualified SOT323 (SC-70) package for automotive power rail stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B47-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B47-QF pinout, BZX84W-B47-QF application, or BZX84W-B47-QF equivalent, this device supports precision voltage reference, overvoltage clamping, and ESD-robust biasing in space-constrained automotive control modules, ADAS sensor interfaces, and engine management subsystems.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across load and line variations. Its 47 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 2 mA with ±2 % tolerance, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +46.1 mV/K - enabling predictable thermal drift compensation in high-temperature under-hood environments.
The device delivers 275 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, supports non-repetitive peak reverse power up to 40 W for surge suppression, and features low 0.5 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V bias - preserving signal integrity in high-frequency feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; defines precise clamping threshold for 48 V automotive systems |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series); ensures tight voltage window for safety-critical regulation without post-production trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 375 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA; determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in shunt configuration |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +46.1 mV/K; enables predictable voltage shift with junction temperature in under-hood applications |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on standard FR4; sets continuous DC power handling limit for thermal design |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 0.5 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V; minimizes high-frequency loading in oscillator or RF bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA; defines conduction loss during forward-biased transient events |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max at VR = 32.9 V (0.7 × VZ); ensures low leakage in standby and sleep-mode circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 (SC-70), leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals; footprint dimensions per Figure 9 (reflow) and Figure 10 (wave soldering); qualified for automotive reflow profiles per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in shunt regulation; must be routed with low-inductance trace for transient response |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; no electrical function; must remain floating - not tied to ground or supply |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to regulated node or voltage rail; carries full Zener current during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, HAST, and ESD testing - suitable for engine control, body electronics, and infotainment |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for external trimming components in 48 V system references and improves batch-to-batch consistency in production calibration |
| Low 0.5 pF junction capacitance | Minimizes phase shift and loading in high-frequency feedback loops, such as those found in DC-DC converter error amplifiers |
| 40 W non-repetitive peak power | Enables robust transient voltage suppression against ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a surges without external TVS stacking |
| SOT323 ultra-small footprint | 0.65 mm pitch, 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm body - saves PCB area in dense ECUs and camera modules where board space is constrained |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | ADAS Camera Bias Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C47-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); identical 47 V nominal, same SOT323 package and thermal specs | Acceptable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required - e.g., non-critical biasing or coarse overvoltage detection | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision; maintains same layout and thermal design |
| MMSZ47ET1G | ±5 % tolerance; 350 mW Ptot; 400 Ω rdif; SOD-123 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a)) | Higher power rating but larger size and inferior thermal resistance (≈600 K/W vs. 455 K/W) limits use in thermally dense layouts | Choose only if 350 mW continuous dissipation is mandatory and board area permits SOD-123 footprint |
Compared with BZX84W-C47-Q, the BZX84W-B47-QF offers tighter regulation for critical references; versus MMSZ47ET1G, it provides superior thermal performance and space efficiency in automotive PCBs despite slightly lower power rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX84W-B47-QF at 25 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous Zener current is derived from Ptot = 275 mW and VZ = 47 V: IZ(max) ≈ 5.85 mA. This assumes no additional thermal derating; actual usable current decreases linearly above 25 °C ambient per the 455 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can BZX84W-B47-QF replace BZX84W-C47-Q in an existing design?
Yes - both share identical pinout, package, Zener voltage nominal value, and thermal characteristics. The only functional difference is ±2 % vs. ±5 % tolerance; replacement is safe if the original design accommodates the tighter tolerance, and no layout or thermal changes are needed.
Is Pin 2 (n.c.) required to be left floating, or may it be grounded?
Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain electrically floating. Grounding or tying it to any potential violates the device's internal construction and may cause unpredictable leakage, thermal instability, or premature failure - per Nexperia's pinning specification in Table 2.
Does BZX84W-B47-QF support wave soldering, and what footprint should be used?
Yes - the SOT323 package is qualified for wave soldering using the footprint in Figure 10: 3.65 mm × 2.1 mm overall pad area, with three 1.425 mm × 0.55 mm solder lands spaced 0.65 mm apart and oriented per preferred transport direction shown.
