Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C30-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30 V, 0.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in PowerDI™323 package, rated for ±2% zener voltage tolerance (28.0–32.0 V at 2 mA), with 40 Ω maximum zener impedance and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 21.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C30-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C30-7 pinout, PD3Z284C30-7 application, or PD3Z284C30-7 equivalent, key selection factors include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-small footprint, thermal resistance of 250 °C/W, and compatibility with lead-free reflow processes per J-STD-020D Level 1.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the "green" molding compound and matte tin-plated copper leadframe support RoHS compliance and solderability per MIL-STD-202.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/°C below 6 V and transitions toward zero near 30 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Its 0.005 g mass and PowerDI323 footprint (2.5 × 1.9 mm) support high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive and industrial modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V nominal, 28.0–32.0 V range at IZT = 2 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω max at f = 1 kHz - determines AC regulation stability and ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 21.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby voltage-sense circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on recommended polyimide PCB pad layout |
| Operating Temperature | –65 to +150 °C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial control enclosures |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 per J-STD-020D - allows unlimited floor life without dry-pack requirements before reflow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| D3Z30BF-7 | Same 30 V rating, 500 mW, but in SOD-323 package; lower RθJA (220 °C/W); tighter VZ tolerance (±1%) | Higher power density and improved thermal performance; requires different PCB land pattern | Select when higher reliability margin or tighter regulation is required and board layout permits SOD-323 footprint |
| BZX384-C30,115 | 30 V, 300 mW, SOD-323; ±5% VZ tolerance; RθJA = 300 °C/W; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited power handling and wider voltage spread; suitable only for non-automotive consumer-grade designs | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where 300 mW dissipation suffices and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with D3Z30BF-7 and BZX384-C30,115, PD3Z284C30-7 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and PowerDI323 mechanical robustness at mid-tier tolerance and thermal performance-ideal for automotive Tier-2 suppliers needing proven reliability without premium pricing.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable zener current for continuous operation at 85°C ambient?
At 85°C ambient, the derated power dissipation is 350 mW (per Fig. 1 derating curve), so maximum continuous zener current is 11.7 mA (350 mW ÷ 30 V). This assumes use of the recommended polyimide PCB pad layout per AP02001.
Is PD3Z284C30-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020D Level 1, with a peak temperature rating of 260°C and no moisture sensitivity concerns, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
Does this Zener diode have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance specification is provided in DS32239 Rev. 10–3 for PD3Z284C30-7. Figure 4 shows total capacitance trends for other voltages (e.g., ~15 pF at 24 V), but no discrete value is given for 30 V; design margins should assume ≤20 pF.
Why is PD3Z284C30-7 marked as "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends migrating to the newer D3ZxxBF series due to enhanced thermal performance, tighter tolerances, and updated process controls - though PD3Z284C30-7 remains fully supported for legacy production and repair programs.
