Product details
Overview
HPZR-C60-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, rated for 5.5 W total power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C, with nominal working voltage 60 V (±5 % tolerance), 30 kV ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C60-QX datasheet, HPZR-C60-QX pinout, HPZR-C60-QX application, or HPZR-C60-QX equivalent, this device serves as a robust, surface-mount voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in space-constrained automotive power rails, battery management systems, and industrial sensor supply regulation where stable 60 V Zener operation and high surge immunity are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 60 V reference across its terminals under regulated current conditions (IZ = 1 mA). Its differential resistance is 51 Ω at IZ = 20 mA, ensuring low dynamic impedance for precision clamping.
Thermal design is enabled by low Rth(j-sp) of 18 K/W (to solder point) and Rth(j-a) down to 70 K/W on ceramic PCB, supporting reliable 5.5 W DC dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C with zero-lead-length measurement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 56.7 V to 62.7 V at IZ = 1 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 60 V nominal rail protection |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 5500 mW @ Tsp = 75 °C (zero lead length) - enables high continuous power handling without heatsink in compact layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 800 W (tp ≤ 100 µs) - supports transient surge suppression for load-dump or ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a events |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact discharge) - ensures robustness against assembly and field electrostatic events |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 1 V at IF = 100 mA - minimizes forward conduction loss during polarity-reversal fault conditions |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial high-temp zones |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling per AEC stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
HPZR-C60-QX uses the CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead, low-profile design optimized for automated reflow assembly and thermal performance on FR4 or ceramic PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal - must be routed to higher-potential rail for Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference - completes reverse-bias path enabling controlled breakdown at VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5.5 W DC power rating @ Tsp = 75 °C | Enables sustained clamping in high-current automotive power domains without derating or external heatsinking |
| ±5 % VZ tolerance | Guarantees tight voltage window (56.7–62.7 V) for accurate overvoltage cutoff in safety-critical 60 V systems |
| 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating | Eliminates need for upstream TVS staging in ECU input protection, reducing BOM count and board area |
| CFP3 (SOD123W) package | Provides 220 K/W Rth(j-a) on standard FR4 and 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) - maximizes thermal coupling to PCB copper |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates lifetime reliability under automotive thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per industry standard |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial 48 V DC Power Distribution |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C62 | 62 V nominal, 300 mW Ptot, SOT23 package, RZ = 100 Ω @ 5 mA | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100 mA continuous regulation or automotive transients | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer PCBs with <100 mW dissipation and no AEC-Q101 requirement |
| PZU12B3 | 12 V nominal, 400 mW Ptot, SOD323, ±5 % tolerance, 15 kV ESD | Lower voltage rating and power - cannot replace 60 V function; used in 12 V subsystems only | Not a functional substitute; consider only if redesigning for lower-voltage architecture with reduced surge energy |
Compared with BZX84-C62 and PZU12B3, HPZR-C60-QX uniquely delivers automotive-grade 60 V Zener regulation with 5.5 W continuous power, 800 W surge capacity, and 30 kV ESD immunity - making it irreplaceable in high-energy 48/60 V automotive and industrial power nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current HPZR-C60-QX can regulate at 60 V?
At 60 V nominal Zener voltage and 5.5 W total power dissipation, HPZR-C60-QX supports up to 92 mA continuous reverse current (IZ = Ptot/VZ ≈ 5500 mW / 60 V). Derating applies above Tsp = 75 °C per Fig. 9 in the datasheet, with full rating maintained only when solder-point temperature is held at or below 75 °C.
Does HPZR-C60-QX require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit reverse current to within the device's safe operating area. For example, at 65 V input and 60 V VZ, a 56 Ω resistor limits IZ to ~89 mA, staying within the 5.5 W thermal limit at Tsp = 75 °C. The resistor value must be selected based on worst-case input voltage, VZ tolerance, and ambient thermal conditions.
How does the 30 kV ESD rating translate to real-world board-level protection?
The 30 kV rating is measured per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge directly at the cathode solder point, meaning HPZR-C60-QX absorbs full ESD energy before it reaches downstream ICs. In practice, this eliminates the need for additional ESD diodes on 60 V rails in ECUs, provided PCB layout maintains low-inductance grounding and the cathode pad is directly connected to chassis ground.
Can HPZR-C60-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficient and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. Nexperia specifies single-device operation only. For >5.5 W needs, use a higher-rated discrete TVS or switch to active regulation with a controller and MOSFET.
