Product details
Overview
BZX84W-C62-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 62 V nominal Zener voltage at 2 mA, 215 Ω differential resistance, and 64.4 mV/K temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-C62-QX datasheet, BZX84W-C62-QX pinout, BZX84W-C62-QX application, or BZX84W-C62-QX equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 62 V regulation under transient conditions, low capacitance (0.3 pF), and high surge immunity (40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ = 58.0–66.0 V at IZ = 2 mA, delivering predictable clamping behavior across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Its 215 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation.
Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 455 K/W (FR4 PCB, single-sided copper) defines its derating envelope, while non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation reaches 40 W for 100 µs pulses - enabling robust transient suppression in automotive ECUs and sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 58.0 V to 66.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold for 62 V nominal rail protection |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 215 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and regulation stiffness under current variation |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | 64.4 mV/K - quantifies VZ drift per degree Celsius, critical for thermal stability in engine bay environments |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA at VR = 0.7 × VZnom - ensures ultra-low leakage in standby circuits |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 0.3 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - enables use in high-frequency filtering and RF-coupled protection paths |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets continuous DC power limit on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs - supports ESD/ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression without failure |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package: 1.3 mm × 1.8 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.45 mm height - optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internal die pad with no electrical bond - must remain unconnected in layout |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential node; carries regulated Zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensors |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Ensures consistent clamping performance across production lots without post-assembly trimming |
| Low 0.3 pF junction capacitance | Minimizes signal distortion in high-speed data lines protected by parallel Zener configuration |
| 455 K/W thermal resistance | Enables predictable derating curves for thermal design of compact ECU modules |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump) and Pulse 5a (load dump) without degradation |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping 12 V/24 V battery-supplied microcontroller supply rails against load dump transients up to 60 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener voltage reference and overvoltage clamp placed directly across VCC and GND. Use Value: Prevents MCU reset or latch-up during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events with <10 ns response time and no external biasing. |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing reference voltage for 16-bit ADC front-end in industrial pressure transmitters operating at 60–65 V supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt reference providing stable 62 V node for ratiometric scaling of analog sensor outputs. Use Value: Enables <±0.5 % full-scale accuracy over −40 °C to +105 °C due to matched temperature coefficient and low leakage. |
| Automotive Camera Module ESD Protection | High-Frequency RF Bias Network Clamp |
Use Scenario: Secondary protection stage downstream of TVS diodes in rear-view camera power input, handling residual fast transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance Zener clamp absorbing sub-100 ns spikes that bypass primary TVS. Use Value: 0.3 pF capacitance avoids degrading 100 MHz MIPI CSI-2 video signal integrity while maintaining 62 V standoff. |
Use Scenario: DC bias stabilization in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi front-end amplifier bias tee networks where RF path must remain unloading. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator establishing fixed DC potential on RF choke without perturbing impedance match. Use Value: Sub-picofarad capacitance prevents detuning of matching networks; 215 Ω rdif ensures stable bias point under RF modulation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-B62-Q | ±2 % tolerance (5.8–6.2 V tighter band), 150 Ω rdif, 64.4 mV/K SZ | Higher precision required in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC converters | Select when VZ stability across temperature and current is prioritized over cost |
| MMSZ5259B-TP | 62 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 200 mW Ptot, 170 Ω rdif, 0.5 pF Cd | Larger footprint; suited for non-automotive industrial boards with less density constraint | Choose when SOT323 assembly capability is unavailable or thermal margin exceeds 275 mW requirement |
Compared with BZX84W-C62-QX, the BZX84W-B62-Q offers tighter voltage control for closed-loop systems, while MMSZ5259B-TP trades miniaturization for easier hand-soldering and higher surge endurance in non-automotive contexts - all three maintain identical 62 V regulation function but differ in AEC compliance, size, and thermal envelope.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX84W-C62-QX can sustain at 25 °C?
The device supports a maximum forward current of 200 mA, but as a Zener diode operated in reverse breakdown, its continuous reverse current is limited by power dissipation. At 25 °C ambient and 275 mW Ptot, the maximum sustainable reverse current is approximately 4.4 mA (275 mW ÷ 62 V), assuming full voltage drop across the diode.
Does the 'n.c.' pin require PCB connection or grounding?
No - Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Routing traces or applying solder paste to this pad violates the SOT323 mechanical specification and may cause solder bridging or thermal stress during reflow. The pad serves only as a mechanical anchor.
How does the 64.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
Over this 165 K range, the Zener voltage shifts by approximately ±10.6 V (64.4 mV/K × 165 K), resulting in a total span of 51.4 V to 72.6 V. This is inherent to the 62 V Zener physics; system-level compensation (e.g., using complementary diodes or digital calibration) is required for sub-1 % accuracy across temperature.
Can BZX84W-C62-QX replace a 1N4742A in an existing design?
No - the 1N4742A is a 12 V, 1 W through-hole Zener with TO-204AA package and ±5 % tolerance. BZX84W-C62-QX is a 62 V, 275 mW SOT323 device. Voltage, power, package, and thermal behavior are incompatible; direct substitution would cause catastrophic overvoltage or insufficient clamping.
