Product details
Overview
BZX84W-C75F from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with a nominal 75 V breakdown voltage, 275 mW power dissipation, and SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount package. It operates as a precision shunt reference in low-power voltage regulation and overvoltage protection circuits, supporting stable DC biasing in high-frequency signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-C75F datasheet, BZX84W-C75F pinout, BZX84W-C75F application, or BZX84W-C75F equivalent, this part is selected for 75 V clamping in sensor interface front-ends, ESD-tolerant power rail supervision, and compact voltage reference design where thermal resistance (455 K/W) and low capacitance (0.2 pF at 1 MHz) are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a specified 75 V nominal Zener voltage at IZ = 2 mA and ±5 % tolerance. Its differential resistance is 500 Ω at IZ = 2 mA, and temperature coefficient is +80.2 mV/K - indicating strong positive voltage drift with junction temperature rise.
It delivers non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses and maintains operation across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range. The device exhibits 50 nA maximum reverse current at VR = 0.7 × VZnom, confirming tight leakage control for standby-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 75 V nominal at IZ = 2 mA; defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Tolerance | ±5 % (C-series); sets worst-case regulation window of 70.0–79.0 V under production variation |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB; limits continuous DC power handling in compact layouts |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 500 Ω at IZ = 2 mA; determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |

| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 455 K/W in free air on standard FR4; governs thermal rise under sustained power dissipation |
| Capacitance Cd | 0.2 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V; enables use in RF-coupled or high-speed transient suppression |

|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5270BLT1G | 75 V, ±5 %, 225 mW Ptot, 600 Ω rdif, 0.5 pF Cd | Higher capacitance and lower power limit reduce suitability for RF-coupled clamping | Select when legacy ON Semi footprint compatibility is required and thermal margin >100 K/W is acceptable |
| Vishay BZX84-C75-TP | 75 V, ±5 %, 300 mW Ptot, 450 Ω rdif, 0.25 pF Cd, same SOT323 package | Marginally higher power rating but 25 % greater junction capacitance affects >100 MHz performance | Prefer for higher continuous power needs where sub-0.25 pF capacitance is not mandatory |
Compared with MMBZ5270BLT1G and BZX84-C75-TP, BZX84W-C75F offers the lowest junction capacitance (0.2 pF) and best thermal resistance (455 K/W) among SOT323 75 V Zeners, making it optimal for high-frequency, thermally constrained, and low-leakage applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZX84W-C75F at 52.5 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 50 nA at VR = 52.5 V (0.7 × VZnom), measured at Tj = 25 °C with pulse conditions tp ≤ 300 µs and duty cycle δ ≤ 0.02. This value confirms ultra-low leakage for battery-powered or high-impedance bias networks.
Can BZX84W-C75F be used in place of a 75 V Zener diode in a linear regulator feedback loop?
Yes - its 75 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5 % tolerance, and 500 Ω differential resistance enable direct substitution in shunt-regulated feedback dividers. However, ensure the cathode connects to the regulated node and anode to ground or lower potential, with sufficient series resistance to limit IZ to 2–10 mA for stable operation.
Is the "n.c." pin on BZX84W-C75F electrically isolated or internally bonded?
Pin 2 is explicitly designated "not connected" in Nexperia's pinning documentation and has no internal die connection. It must remain unconnected in layout and routing; soldering or tying it to any net may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling due to proximity to active terminals.
How does the +80.2 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term voltage stability?
The positive temperature coefficient means VZ increases by ~80.2 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. At 100 °C junction temperature (75 °C above 25 °C reference), VZ rises ~6 V - resulting in ~7.5 % deviation from nominal. Designers must account for this drift in precision references or implement thermal derating in high-power applications.
