Product details
Overview
HPZR-C35-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, designed for precision voltage clamping and regulation in automotive-grade circuits. It delivers 35 V nominal working voltage at 1 mA test current, 5.5 W total power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C, and 30 kV ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact discharge), supporting robust operation in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C35-QX datasheet, HPZR-C35-QX pinout, HPZR-C35-QX application, or HPZR-C35-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5 % voltage tolerance, 30 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 20 mA, 1 cm² cathode pad thermal layout requirement, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal reverse-biased Zener diode with stable breakdown behavior across -55 °C to +175 °C ambient range. Its junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 18 K/W, enabling high surge handling up to 800 W for ≤100 µs pulses while maintaining 175 °C max junction temperature.
The HPZR-C35-QX exhibits 33.3 V minimum and 36.8 V maximum Zener voltage at IZ = 1 mA, with reverse current capped at 0.1 µA at rated VR and differential resistance of 30 Ω - confirming tight regulation performance suitable for reference and protection functions in low-current analog subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33.3 V to 36.8 V at IZ = 1 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 35 V nominal rail protection |
| Differential Resistance (RZ) | 30 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under dynamic load transients |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 5500 mW at Tsp = 75 °C (zero lead length) - supports sustained regulation in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge - provides immunity against assembly and field electrostatic events |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Qualified for automotive applications - meets stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors in harsh environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1 V at IF = 100 mA - enables predictable forward conduction during fault conditions or bidirectional protection schemes |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 18 K/W - allows efficient heat transfer from junction to solder point on standard FR4 with 1 cm² cathode pad |
Pinout & Package
HPZR-C35-QX uses the CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile, and cathode-marked with a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; requires 1 cm² copper pad for thermal management and power dissipation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; forms reverse-bias path during Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Surge Power Handling | 800 W non-repetitive peak power for ≤100 µs pulses - protects downstream circuitry from transient overvoltage events |
| Precision Voltage Regulation | ±5 % tolerance on 35 V nominal Zener voltage - reduces need for post-production calibration in reference designs |
| Automotive-Grade Reliability | AEC-Q101 qualified with -55 °C to +175 °C operating range - validated for under-hood ECU, lighting, and sensor interface modules |
| Low-Lead-Inductance Package | CFP3 (SOD123W) footprint with short internal leads - minimizes parasitic inductance during fast transient suppression |
| ESD-Robust Construction | 30 kV contact discharge rating - eliminates need for external ESD protection in many automotive sub-systems |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36 | 36 V nominal, ±5 %, SOT23 package, Ptot = 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select only for non-automotive, low-current (<10 mA) reference use where thermal performance is secondary |
| MMSZ5241B | 36 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD123 package, Ptot = 500 mW at Tamb = 25 °C | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 30 kV ESD rating; RZ = 50 Ω at IZ = 20 mA | Acceptable for industrial control boards requiring basic 36 V regulation but not for automotive deployment |
Compared with BZX84-C36 and MMSZ5241B, HPZR-C35-QX offers 11× higher power dissipation, automotive qualification, and superior ESD immunity - making it the sole choice for thermally demanding, safety-critical 35 V regulation in vehicle electronics.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for HPZR-C35-QX?
The HPZR-C35-QX is characterized at IZ = 1 mA, as specified in Table 12 of the datasheet. This low test current enables accurate voltage measurement in high-impedance reference circuits and ensures stable regulation even when bias current is limited by upstream resistors.
Can HPZR-C35-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - HPZR-C35-QX is not designed for parallel operation due to mismatch in Zener voltage and dynamic impedance. Parallel connection risks current hogging and thermal runaway; instead, use a single unit with proper PCB thermal design or select a higher-rated device like HPZR-C35-QY (if available) for increased dissipation.
Is the cathode pad required to be 1 cm² for all operating conditions?
Yes - the 1 cm² cathode pad is mandatory to achieve the rated 5.5 W power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance, reducing safe operating power and risking premature thermal failure; layout must follow Figure 11 footprint guidelines for reflow soldering.
Does HPZR-C35-QX support bidirectional transient suppression?
No - HPZR-C35-QX is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias clamping. For bidirectional protection, pair it with a series-connected standard diode or use a dedicated bidirectional TVS like PESD5V0S1BA; forward conduction is limited to ≤1 V at 100 mA and not rated for surge absorption.
