Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C33-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 33 V, 0.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in PowerDI™323 package, featuring 31.0–35.0 V zener voltage range at 2 mA test current, 275 Ω maximum zener impedance at 2 mA, and -3.5 to +0 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It serves as precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C33-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C33-7 pinout, PD3Z284C33-7 application, or PD3Z284C33-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±3.0%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on polyimide PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its planar die construction ensures stable leakage performance and low capacitance (≈10 pF at 1 VR), critical for noise-sensitive reference nodes.
The device uses a cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin–annealed copper leadframe for reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208. Its PowerDI323 package meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, 31.0–35.0 V range at IZT = 2 mA - defines stable regulation window under low-current bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW - limits continuous power handling on standard polyimide PCB with recommended pad layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 275 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA - determines output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 23.1 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference paths |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | –3.5 to 0 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - sets junction-to-ambient rise under full power, guiding thermal pad design |
| Package | PowerDI323 - 2.5 × 1.9 mm footprint with 0.3 mm typical height, optimized for space-constrained layouts |
Pinout & Package
PowerDI323 is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with cathode band marking. Terminals are anode (unmarked end) and cathode (banded end); no internal connections beyond the two leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration |
| Cathode | Breakdown voltage reference terminal | Marked with band; connects to regulated output or clamping node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
| Green molding compound | Halogen-free (no Br, Sb), UL 94V-0 rated - supports RoHS compliance and flame safety |
| Low capacitance | ~10 pF at 1 VR - minimizes signal coupling in high-frequency sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| D3Z33BF-7 | Same 33 V rating, 0.5 W, PowerDI323, but improved ZZT = 150 Ω @ 5 mA and tighter VZ tolerance (±2.0%) | Higher test current (5 mA vs. 2 mA) shifts operating point; better for active bias networks | Select when lower dynamic impedance and tighter regulation are required at higher bias currents |
| BZX384-C33,115 | 33 V, 0.3 W, SOD323 package; VZ = 31.3–34.7 V @ 5 mA; ZZT = 90 Ω; no AEC-Q101 rating | Lower power rating and non-automotive qualification limit use to commercial-grade consumer electronics | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where 300 mW suffices and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with D3Z33BF-7 and BZX384-C33,115, PD3Z284C33-7 offers AEC-Q101 reliability at 2 mA test current with moderate ZZT, making it suitable for legacy automotive and industrial systems where existing 2 mA bias networks are fixed.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current for PD3Z284C33-7 at 23.1 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 0.1 µA at VR = 23.1 V, measured at TA = +25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error in high-impedance reference divider networks and preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits.
Is PD3Z284C33-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and electrostatic discharge. Its operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C) and UL 94V-0 package meet automotive under-hood requirements.
How does the PowerDI323 package compare to SOD-323 in size and thermal performance?
PowerDI323 measures 2.5 × 1.9 mm with 0.3 mm typical height and RθJA = 250 °C/W on polyimide PCB; SOD-323 is slightly smaller (1.7 × 1.25 mm) but has higher thermal resistance (~350 °C/W), limiting its 0.5 W capability in sustained operation.
Why is PD3Z284C33-7 marked as "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends the newer D3ZxxBF series due to improved zener impedance, tighter voltage tolerance, and enhanced surge robustness. PD3Z284C33-7 remains fully supported for legacy production and repair, with identical pinout and footprint compatibility.
