Product details
Overview
DDZX30D-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 30.51 V maximum zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with 55 Ω typical zener impedance at 5 mA and 250 Ω at knee current, operating across –65°C to +150°C. It delivers stable voltage reference in power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits on FR-4 PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX30D-13 datasheet, DDZX30D-13 pinout, DDZX30D-13 application, or DDZX30D-13 equivalent, this part supports high-reliability industrial and automotive designs requiring tight VZ tolerance (±2.5% at 30 V), low leakage (<0.05 µA at 23 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with sharp knee characteristics, enabling precise voltage clamping and reference generation. Its 55 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 5 mA ensures minimal output variation under load changes, while the 250 Ω impedance at IZK = 0.5 mA maintains stability near threshold conduction.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.08 %/°C in the 30–30.5 V range (per Fig. 18), supporting predictable drift behavior in thermal-varying environments. Its 300 mW power dissipation rating is validated on standard FR-4 PCB with specified pad layout, not on thermally enhanced substrates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.02–30.51 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with ±2.5% tolerance for precision reference use. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - limits output voltage shift under dynamic load current changes. |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 250 Ω at IZK = 0.5 mA - determines minimum usable current for stable regulation onset. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 23 V - ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating below 25°C ambient. |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - confirms reliability for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements (HTOL, TC, HAST). |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case with matte tin annealed terminals, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.008 g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / cathode reference ground path | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node when used in shunt regulation configuration. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input voltage source via series resistor; provides stable 30 V reference at this node. |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach / mechanical support only | Not electrically bonded; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling or thermal stress. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp breakdown knee | Enables reliable low-current regulation starting at 0.5 mA, reducing minimum operating current in battery-powered systems. |
| Tight VZ tolerance (±2.5%) | Eliminates need for post-production trimming in voltage reference circuits, lowering calibration cost and time. |
| 300 mW dissipation on FR-4 | Supports direct integration into standard PCB layouts without heatsinking or thermal vias in most 5–10 mA applications. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validates long-term reliability under automotive thermal cycling and humidity exposure, suitable for engine control modules. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and EU ELV Directive for end-of-life vehicle compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | Zener voltage 28.5–31.5 V (±5%), ZZT = 90 Ω at 5 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for commercial-grade power supplies but unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when cost is primary constraint and AEC-Q101 is not required; verify thermal margin at full load. |
| MMSZ5261ET1G | Zener voltage 28.5–31.5 V (±5%), PD = 500 mW on FR-4, ZZT = 70 Ω at 20 mA | Higher power rating allows higher current operation but looser VZ tolerance reduces reference accuracy | Prefer for higher-current clamping where 300 mW is insufficient; accept ±5% VZ variation in non-critical sensing. |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and MMSZ5261ET1G, DDZX30D-13 offers tighter VZ tolerance and automotive qualification at the expense of slightly higher ZZT, making it optimal for precision reference and safety-critical voltage monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that can be applied before breakdown?
The DDZX30D-13 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 29.02 V to 30.51 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown begins within this band; applying ≥30.51 V continuously at rated current ensures stable regulation. Exceeding 30.51 V without current limiting risks thermal runaway.
How does the 300 mW power rating translate to practical PCB layout?
The 300 mW rating assumes mounting on standard FR-4 with Diodes Incorporated's recommended SOT23 pad layout (2.0 mm × 0.9 mm land pattern, 0.8 mm solder mask opening). No thermal vias or copper pours are required for operation up to 10 mA at 25°C ambient.
Is the SOT23 pinout compatible with other Zener diodes in the same package?
Yes - DDZX30D-13 follows standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC. This matches industry-standard Zener diodes including BZX84 and MMSZ series, enabling drop-in replacement in existing footprints.
Does the AEC-Q101 qualification cover the full temperature range?
Yes - AEC-Q101 qualification includes testing across –40°C to +125°C operating range, plus extended stress tests (HTOL, temperature cycling, HAST) performed at elevated temperatures. The full –65°C to +150°C specification remains valid, with qualification confirming reliability within automotive ambient limits.
