Product details
Overview
PDZ4.7B-QF from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for low-power voltage regulation at nominal 4.7 V with ±2 % tolerance, 600 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and 2 µA reverse leakage at 3.5 V. It delivers stable reference voltage in automotive power supply rails and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ4.7B-QF datasheet, PDZ4.7B-QF pinout, PDZ4.7B-QF application, or PDZ4.7B-QF equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring precise low-current Zener regulation, thermal stability up to +150 °C junction temperature, and surface-mount compatibility on FR4 PCBs with standard reflow footprints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal working voltage of 4.7 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of −1.4 mV/K across 1–12 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog reference circuits. Its hard breakdown knee and low leakage ensure clean regulation under light-load conditions.
The device features a maximum total power dissipation of 400 mW at 25 °C ambient on FR4 PCB, derating linearly above 25 °C per the published curve, and achieves 325 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias-critical for noise-sensitive voltage reference nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 4.55 V to 4.75 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation band for precision 4.7 V reference |
| Dynamic Resistance (rdif) | 600 Ω at IZ = 1 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 µA max at VR = 3.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered systems |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW max at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets thermal design margin for compact layouts |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | +150 °C max - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 130 K/W junction-to-solder-point - informs solder joint thermal path efficiency |
Pinout & Package
PDZ4.7B-QF uses the SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, 1.35 mm × 0.8 mm body, 0.45 mm height, cathode marked by a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased configuration establishes Zener voltage drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp, low-hysteresis transition into conduction improves regulation accuracy at low currents |
| Low dynamic impedance | 600 Ω at 1 mA enables stable voltage reference even with varying load current |
| Small SOD323 footprint | 0.8 mm × 1.35 mm area saves board space in dense automotive ECUs and portable sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V7 | Same 4.7 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOT23 package | Larger footprint, higher leakage (5 µA), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive consumer designs where qualification is not required |
| MMSZ4704T1G | 4.7 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD123 package | Higher thermal resistance (400 K/W), larger size, automotive-grade but no AEC-Q101 documentation cited | Choose when board layout allows SOD123 and higher power margin is needed over extended ambient range |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7 and MMSZ4704T1G, PDZ4.7B-QF offers tighter ±2 % tolerance, lower leakage, AEC-Q101 validation, and optimized SOD323 thermal performance-making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for PDZ4.7B-QF?
The PDZ4.7B-QF exhibits a sharp breakdown at 4.55 V minimum and 4.75 V maximum when tested at 5 mA. Below 4.55 V, reverse leakage remains ≤2 µA at 3.5 V; no defined "maximum reverse voltage before breakdown" is specified-the device is intended for controlled Zener operation within its rated VZ band.
Can PDZ4.7B-QF be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing spread in VZ, causing current hogging if paralleled. The PDZ4.7B-QF's ±2 % tolerance means two units could differ by up to 190 mV, leading to >90 % of current flowing through the lower-VZ unit. Use a single device within its 400 mW limit or select a higher-power alternative.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-Nexperia specifies a reflow footprint matching JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. The recommended solder land pattern is 0.5 mm × 0.6 mm per pad with 0.6 mm spacing, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds, fully compatible with lead-free SAC305 processes.
How does temperature affect regulation accuracy in PDZ4.7B-QF?
PDZ4.7B-QF has a temperature coefficient of −1.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA. Over −40 °C to +125 °C, this causes ≈−230 mV total drift in VZ. For high-accuracy applications, this must be compensated via circuit design or selected alongside complementary tempcos in feedback networks.
