Product details
Overview
HPZR-C19-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, rated for 5.5 W total power dissipation at 75 °C solder point temperature, with nominal working voltage 19 V (±5 % tolerance), 16 Ω differential resistance at 20 mA, and 0.1 μA reverse current at 15.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in automotive power rails and sensor supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C19-QX datasheet, HPZR-C19-QX pinout, HPZR-C19-QX application, or HPZR-C19-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, thermal resistance of 18 K/W junction-to-solder-point, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-critical for under-hood automotive designs requiring robust transient suppression and stable regulation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable DC voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design targets low dynamic impedance (16 Ω at IZ = 20 mA) and tight voltage tolerance (±5 %) across the full operating range.
It features a thermally enhanced CFP3 package with direct cathode tab soldering to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer to the board. The 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) value reflects optimized thermal path from junction to solder point-measured at the cathode tab per IEC 60747-1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 17.8 V to 19.7 V at IZ = 1 mA - defines stable regulation band for 12 V–24 V automotive systems |
| Differential Resistance (RZ) | 16 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 5500 mW at Tsp = 75 °C (zero lead length) - supports high ambient thermal environments without derating |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge - protects against human-body ESD events during assembly and operation |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in engine control units and transmission modules |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.1 μA max at VR = 15.2 V - guarantees low leakage in standby and sleep modes |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 18 K/W - enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling |
Pinout & Package
The HPZR-C19-QX uses the CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile, cathode marked by a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; large copper pad required for thermal conduction and ESD grounding |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased Zener junction with cathode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C18 | 18 V nominal, 250 mW Ptot, SOT23 package, RZ = 40 Ω | Limited to low-power signal-level regulation; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select only for non-automotive, low-current (<10 mA) reference needs where thermal margin is abundant |
| MMSZ5242B | 18 V nominal, 500 mW Ptot, SOD123 package, RZ = 23 Ω, no AEC-Q101 | Lower power rating and higher thermal resistance (125 K/W j-a) limits use in hot zones | Acceptable for cabin-mounted modules with ambient <85 °C and no load-dump exposure |
Compared with BZX84-C18 and MMSZ5242B, HPZR-C19-QX delivers 11× higher power handling, 7× lower junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance, and certified automotive qualification-making it the sole choice for under-hood, high-reliability, high-energy clamping applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak power the HPZR-C19-QX can handle?
The HPZR-C19-QX supports up to 800 W non-repetitive peak power dissipation for pulse durations ≤100 µs, as defined in the square-wave surge test condition. This capability allows it to absorb ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients without failure when properly mounted on a 1 cm² cathode copper pad.
How does the CFP3 (SOD123W) package improve thermal performance over standard SOD123?
The CFP3 package features an extended cathode tab that provides direct thermal conduction to the PCB, achieving Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W-versus ~125 K/W for standard SOD123. This 85 % reduction in thermal resistance enables 5.5 W continuous dissipation at 75 °C solder point, making it viable for under-hood applications without heatsinks.
Is HPZR-C19-QX suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No-HPZR-C19-QX is a unidirectional Zener diode configured for reverse-bias regulation only. For bidirectional protection, a pair of back-to-back HPZR-C19-QX devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., P6SMB19A) must be used. Its schematic symbol and pinning confirm single-anode/cathode polarity.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for optimal thermal and mechanical reliability?
Nexperia specifies a reflow footprint with 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm solder lands, 1.2 mm × 1.4 mm solder resist opening, and 0.1 mm stencil thickness. The cathode land must be a minimum 1 cm² copper area, tin-plated, to achieve rated 5.5 W dissipation and meet AEC-Q101 thermal cycling requirements.
