Product details
Overview
HPZR-C75-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 75 V working voltage (VZ = 71.1–78.6 V at IZ = 1 mA), ±5 % tolerance, 5.5 W DC power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C, and 30 kV ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact discharge), designed for automotive-grade overvoltage clamping in power supply rails and sensor interface protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C75-QX datasheet, HPZR-C75-QX pinout, HPZR-C75-QX application, or HPZR-C75-QX equivalent, this device serves as a robust, AEC-Q101-qualified discrete Zener for precision voltage regulation and transient suppression where thermal stability, low leakage (<0.1 µA at VR), and high surge capability (800 W non-repetitive peak) are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across wide temperature (−55 °C to +175 °C) and current ranges. Its differential resistance of 77.38 Ω at IZ = 20 mA ensures tight regulation under dynamic load conditions.
The CFP3 (SOD123W) package delivers low thermal resistance-Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to solder point-and supports zero-lead-length power derating up to 5.5 W at 75 °C, enabling compact, high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (Working Voltage) | 71.1 V to 78.6 V at IZ = 1 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 75 V nominal rail protection |
| IR (Reverse Current) | < 0.1 µA at VR - ensures minimal standby leakage in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Ptot (DC Power Dissipation) | 5500 mW @ Tsp = 75 °C - enables sustained regulation without heatsinking in ambient ≤75 °C |
| PZSM (Peak Surge Power) | 800 W for tp ≤ 100 µs - withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2/5a transients in 12 V/24 V systems |
| RZ (Differential Resistance) | 77.38 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - determines output impedance and regulation accuracy under varying load currents |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - protects against human-body ESD events during assembly and field operation |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Qualified for automotive applications - meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
HPZR-C75-QX uses the CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, low-profile flat lead design optimized for automated reflow assembly and thermal performance on FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked bar side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated voltage node; carries reverse current during clamping; solder pad provides primary thermal path |
| 2 (Opposite end) | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes reverse-bias path for Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High surge robustness | 800 W non-repetitive peak power (tp ≤ 100 µs) - handles automotive load-dump and inductive switching spikes |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W - enables efficient heat transfer from junction to PCB solder point without external heatsink |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliant - validated for reliability in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensors |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±5 % nominal VZ - reduces binning requirements and simplifies BOM management across 75 V variants |
| Ultra-low leakage | < 0.1 µA at rated reverse voltage - preserves battery life in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., CAN wake-up circuits) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C75,115 (Nexperia) | Same 75 V nominal VZ, but SOT23 package; Ptot = 300 mW only; RZ = 100 Ω | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100 mA continuous regulation | Select when board space is constrained and power < 0.3 W; avoid for power rail protection |
| SMBJ75A (Littelfuse) | TVS diode, not Zener; 75 V standoff, 100 W peak power, bidirectional; no DC regulation capability | Designed for fast transient suppression only; cannot regulate steady-state voltage | Select only for surge-only protection; requires separate Zener if DC reference needed |
Compared with BZX84-C75,115 and SMBJ75A, HPZR-C75-QX uniquely combines high DC power handling (5.5 W), precision Zener regulation (±5 %, low RZ), and automotive qualification-making it the sole choice for sustained 75 V rail stabilization in thermally demanding environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current (IZ) this diode can handle at 75 °C?
HPZR-C75-QX supports up to 400 mA forward current (IF), but its Zener operating current is defined by power limits. At Tsp = 75 °C, Ptot = 5.5 W and VZ ≈ 75 V yield a maximum sustainable IZ of ~73 mA. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to rising RZ and junction temperature.
Does the marking 'MS' on the device correspond to HPZR-C75-QX?
Yes. Per Table 4 in the datasheet, 'MS' is the official marking code for HPZR-C75-QX. The cathode is identified by a bar adjacent to pin 1, consistent with standard SOD123W polarity marking conventions used across Nexperia's CFP3 portfolio.
Can HPZR-C75-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No. Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched VZ tolerances; paralleling causes current hogging and thermal instability. For >5.5 W, use a single higher-rated device or an active regulator-not multiple HPZR-C75-QX units.
Is the 30 kV ESD rating applicable to both pins or only the cathode?
The 30 kV rating applies per diode, with testing performed at the cathode soldering point (Table 6 note [2]). The anode is not separately rated; ESD protection relies on the entire device structure, and layout must ensure low-inductance grounding of the cathode pad to realize full 30 kV capability.
