Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B62-QX from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener diode with 62 V nominal regulation voltage, 150 Ω typical differential resistance at 5 mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It operates in SOT323 (SC-70) package, delivers 275 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB, and maintains stable voltage reference in low-power biasing and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B62-QX datasheet, BZX84W-B62-QX pinout, BZX84W-B62-QX application, or BZX84W-B62-QX equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, reverse leakage, temperature coefficient, and automotive qualification status - all critical for precision voltage reference and transient suppression design validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its 62 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with ±2% tolerance, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +64.4 mV/K at that current, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive circuits.
The device features a non-connected (n.c.) terminal (Pin 2), isolating the anode (Pin 1) and cathode (Pin 3) electrically and thermally. Its 455 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance reflects performance on standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, directly impacting steady-state power derating above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 62 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; defines precise reverse-bias regulation point for reference and clamping |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series); ensures tight voltage matching across production lots for calibrated circuits |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 150 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA; determines output impedance and load regulation error under varying current |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +64.4 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA; quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal stability analysis |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; sets maximum continuous DC or average pulsed power handling |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 50 nA max at VR = 0.7 × VZnom; defines minimum off-state current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +150 °C operating range; supports under-hood automotive environments without derating loss |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package: 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-bias terminal; connected to lower-potential node in regulation circuit |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Electrically isolated; no internal bond wire or silicon connection; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-bias terminal; connected to higher-potential node; carries Zener current during regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C62-Q | ±5% tolerance (vs. ±2%), identical 62 V nominal, same SOT323 package and thermal specs | Acceptable where calibration margin allows wider voltage spread; lower cost for non-critical references | Select when absolute voltage accuracy is secondary to cost and availability |
| MMSZ5259B-TP | 62 V nominal, ±5%, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, higher Rth(j-a) (350 K/W) | Higher power handling but larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense automotive PCBs | Choose only if board space permits larger package and 500 mW dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX84W-C62-Q, the BZX84W-B62-QX offers tighter voltage control essential for precision feedback; versus MMSZ5259B-TP, it trades power capacity for compactness and automotive qualification-critical for space-constrained, mission-critical vehicle electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 43.4 V for BZX84W-B62-QX?
At VR = 43.4 V (0.7 × 62 V), the maximum reverse leakage current is 50 nA, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This value remains valid across the full operating temperature range per Table 7 specifications and confirms suitability for high-impedance bias networks where leakage must stay below 100 nA.
Can BZX84W-B62-QX be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5 V and positive above, but even within the same batch, minor VZ mismatches cause current hogging. The BZX84W-B62-QX has no built-in current-sharing mechanism; paralleling risks thermal runaway and premature failure. Use a single device within its 275 mW limit or select a higher-power alternative.
Is Pin 2 internally connected or should it be left floating on the PCB?
Pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in the official Nexperia datasheet and has no internal silicon or bond-wire connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB layout-neither tied to ground nor routed-to avoid unintended parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on the die attach.
Does the AEC-Q101 qualification cover solder reflow profile compliance?
Yes-AEC-Q101 qualification includes evaluation against JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and reflow profile requirements (peak temperature ≥ 260 °C). The BZX84W-B62-QX is rated MSL1 and validated for standard lead-free reflow, as confirmed by Nexperia's package outline documentation and process qualification reports.
