Product details
Overview
HPZR-C70-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, designed for precision voltage clamping and regulation in automotive power rails. It delivers 70 V nominal working voltage (66.7–73.7 V at IZ = 1 mA), 5.5 W total power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C, and 30 kV ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact discharge), targeting under-hood engine control units and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C70-QX datasheet, HPZR-C70-QX pinout, HPZR-C70-QX application, or HPZR-C70-QX equivalent, this device supports stable overvoltage protection in space-constrained automotive PCBs where thermal performance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and low-profile SMD mounting are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ tolerance (~±5 %) and low differential resistance (RZ = 60 Ω at IZ = 20 mA). Its thermal design leverages low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to sustain 5.5 W DC dissipation when soldered directly to a cathode pad on FR4 PCB.
The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors and exhibits robust transient response: non-repetitive peak reverse power reaches 800 W for tp ≤ 100 µs, enabling effective suppression of load-dump spikes in 12 V/24 V vehicle electrical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal VZ | 70 V (66.7–73.7 V range at IZ = 1 mA; enables precise clamping of 60–75 V supply rails) |
| Ptot @ Tsp = 75 °C | 5500 mW (DC power handling with zero-lead-length measurement; supports sustained regulation under thermal stress) |
| RZ | 60 Ω (differential resistance at IZ = 20 mA; ensures stable regulation with minimal voltage drift under load variation) |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge; protects against electrostatic events during assembly and field operation) |
| IFSM | 50 A (non-repetitive peak forward current, 8.3 ms half-sine; withstands surge currents during fault conditions) |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W (junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance; enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pad) |
| VF | ≤ 1 V (forward voltage at IF = 100 mA; limits conduction loss during forward-biased transients) |
Pinout & Package
HPZR-C70-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; primary heat path to PCB via cathode tab; polarity reference for reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias circuit; not used for thermal conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood use up to +175 °C junction temperature and extended thermal cycling |
| CFP3 (SOD123W) package | Low-profile 1 mm height enables placement beneath connectors or shields in compact ECUs |
| 30 kV ESD rating | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in CAN/LIN bus power domains and sensor supply lines |
| 5.5 W DC power capability | Supports continuous clamping of 12 V/24 V system transients without derating in standard FR4 layouts |
| ±5 % VZ tolerance | Reduces binning requirements and simplifies BOM management across vehicle platforms |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Rail Protection | Automotive Battery Management System (BMS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C70 | 300 mW Ptot, SOT23 package, ±5 % VZ, RZ = 120 Ω | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for automotive power rail transients | Select only for non-automotive, low-current (<10 mA) bias/reference circuits with no thermal constraints |
| SZ1SMB70AT3G | 600 W PZSM, DO-214AA package, ±5 % VZ, RZ = 2.5 Ω, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher surge capacity but 4.5 mm × 3.5 mm footprint increases PCB area by 5× vs CFP3 | Prefer when peak surge energy exceeds 800 W or board layout allows larger package; avoid if height <1.1 mm required |
Compared with BZX84-C70 and SZ1SMB70AT3G, HPZR-C70-QX uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 5.5 W DC power, 1 mm profile, and 60 Ω RZ-making it optimal for thermally dense automotive modules where space, reliability, and steady-state clamping precision are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for HPZR-C70-QX at 75 °C solder point temperature?
HPZR-C70-QX sustains 5500 mW (5.5 W) of DC power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C when measured with zero lead length, per Nexperia's Product Data Sheet Rev. 6. This rating assumes direct thermal coupling to a 1 cm² cathode pad on FR4 PCB and defines the upper limit for steady-state regulation without derating.
How does the 30 kV ESD rating impact system-level design?
The 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge rating eliminates the need for additional TVS diodes or RC filters on protected nodes-reducing BOM count and PCB area. It applies specifically to the cathode terminal and enables direct integration into CAN transceiver power rails, sensor supply inputs, and microcontroller reset lines without external ESD hardening.
Is HPZR-C70-QX compatible with standard SOD123W reflow footprints?
Yes-HPZR-C70-QX uses the industry-standard CFP3 (SOD123W) package with 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm body and 1.0 mm height. Nexperia's recommended reflow footprint (Fig. 11) specifies 1.2 mm × 1.4 mm solder lands, 0.1 mm stencil thickness, and 1.1 mm land spacing-fully compatible with IPC-7351B SOD123W templates.
What is the reverse leakage current specification at rated working voltage?
At VR = 56 V (80 % of nominal 70 V), HPZR-C70-QX guarantees IR ≤ 0.1 μA per Table 12. At full rated VZ = 70 V, typical IR remains below 0.1 μA-critical for minimizing quiescent current in always-on automotive modules such as telematics and gateway ECUs.
