Product details
Overview
HPZR-C47-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, rated for 5.5 W DC power dissipation at 75 °C solder point temperature, with nominal working voltage 47 V (±5 % tolerance), 40 Ω differential resistance at 20 mA, and 30 kV ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C47-QX datasheet, HPZR-C47-QX pinout, HPZR-C47-QX application, or HPZR-C47-QX equivalent, this device is selected for stable low-current regulation in harsh environments where AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal robustness up to 175 °C junction temperature, and high ESD immunity are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified nominal Zener voltage of 47 V at 20 mA test current, exhibiting 40 Ω dynamic impedance and ≤0.1 μA reverse leakage at 37.6 V (80 % of VZ). Its thermal design supports 18 K/W junction-to-solder-point resistance when mounted on the cathode tab, enabling efficient heat transfer in compact automotive PCB layouts.
The device complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing for discrete semiconductors and delivers non-repetitive peak power handling up to 800 W for pulses ≤100 µs, while maintaining DC power capability of 5.5 W under zero-lead-length measurement conditions at Tsp = 75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 44.4 V to 49.1 V at IZ = 20 mA - defines clamping threshold with ±5 % tolerance for reliable overvoltage protection |
| Differential Resistance RZ | 40 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation in regulation circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 5500 mW at Tsp = 75 °C (zero lead length) - enables high-power transient suppression without heatsink in space-constrained designs |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge - provides robust immunity against electrostatic events in assembly and field operation |
| Junction Temperature Tj | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial power supplies |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤1 V at IF = 100 mA - limits conduction loss during forward-biased fault conditions |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power | 800 W for tp ≤ 100 µs - handles short-duration surge events such as load dump transients |
Pinout & Package
HPZR-C47-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 bar. Thermal performance optimized via exposed cathode pad for solder-point heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; primary thermal path to PCB via soldered tab; polarity indicator for correct orientation |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for Zener operation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C47 | 300 mW rating, SOT23 package, 5 % tolerance, 60 Ω RZ | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100 mA surge currents | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer PCBs where thermal margin and automotive qualification are not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the HPZR-C47-QX can sustain at 75 °C?
The HPZR-C47-QX sustains up to 117 mA continuous reverse current at Tsp = 75 °C, calculated from its 5.5 W DC power rating and nominal 47 V Zener voltage (5500 mW ÷ 47 V ≈ 117 mA). This value assumes zero-lead-length mounting and proper cathode pad thermal coupling to the PCB.
Does HPZR-C47-QX require a heatsink for 5.5 W operation?
No external heatsink is required. The CFP3 package achieves 5.5 W dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C using only the cathode solder pad as the thermal interface to a 1 cm² copper area on FR4 PCB. Rth(j-sp) is 18 K/W, enabling direct board-level heat spreading without added mechanical complexity.
How does the 30 kV ESD rating translate to system-level protection?
The 30 kV rating per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge means HPZR-C47-QX can absorb full ESD energy at the cathode solder point without degradation-eliminating secondary protection components in interfaces like USB-C power delivery ports or CAN transceiver bias rails where human touch exposure occurs.
Can HPZR-C47-QX replace older 1N4747A in automotive designs?
Yes, with critical improvements: HPZR-C47-QX offers AEC-Q101 qualification, 5.5 W vs. 1 W rating, 30 kV ESD vs. unspecified, and CFP3's superior thermal resistance (18 K/W vs. ~60 K/W for DO-41). Layout redesign is required due to SMD footprint, but reliability and power margins increase significantly.
