Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B11-QX from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 11 V nominal (±2 % tolerance), with 50 µA test current, 830 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive load-dump protection and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B11-QX datasheet, BZT5250H-B11-QX pinout, BZT5250H-B11-QX application, or BZT5250H-B11-QX equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-leakage voltage reference in battery-powered ECUs, CAN transceiver bias rails, and low-power analog front-ends where thermal efficiency and automotive-grade reliability are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 11.0 V nominal Zener voltage at IZ = 50 µA, exhibiting a differential resistance of ≤150 Ω at IZ = 1 mA and a temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/K - enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient-temperature-varying circuits.
Its intentional minor leakage rise (per AN90031) reduces switching noise and improves transient response in clamping applications, while its SOD123F footprint supports high-density PCB layouts with validated thermal resistance of 150 K/W (junction-to-solder point) under standard FR4 mounting.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C11 | ±5 % tolerance, SOT23 package, 350 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to non-automotive consumer or industrial use; higher voltage tolerance reduces regulation precision | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where ±5 % VZ and lower power are acceptable |
| MMSZ5240B | ±5 % tolerance, SOD123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no intentional leakage optimization or AEC-Q101 | Not qualified for automotive; lacks AN90031 noise-reduction design for fast-switching clamps | Prefer for general-purpose lab bench supplies or non-critical biasing where automotive reliability is not required |
Compared with BZT5250H-B11-QX, BZX84-C11 offers lower cost but sacrifices automotive qualification and regulation precision, while MMSZ5240B provides similar form factor but lacks both AEC-Q101 validation and the optimized leakage/noise behavior critical for CAN and ECU applications.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for BZT5250H-B11-QX?
The BZT5250H-B11-QX has a nominal Zener voltage of 11.0 V with ±2 % tolerance, measured at a test current of 50 µA and junction temperature of 25 °C. This tight tolerance is maintained across the full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C) and is verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing protocols.
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" improve performance?
This design feature, documented in AN90031, slightly increases reverse leakage near breakdown to reduce minority-carrier storage time, thereby minimizing switching noise and improving transient response during fast overvoltage events - especially beneficial in CAN bus protection and ECU power-rail clamping.
Can BZT5250H-B11-QX be used in place of standard 11 V Zeners like BZX84-C11?
No - while electrically similar, BZT5250H-B11-QX is AEC-Q101 qualified, rated for 830 mW, and features optimized leakage/noise behavior per AN90031. BZX84-C11 lacks automotive qualification, has ±5 % tolerance, and only 350 mW rating, making it unsuitable for automotive or high-reliability applications.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point, and how is it achieved?
Rth(j-sp) is 150 K/W, measured with the cathode pad soldered to a 1 cm² tin-plated copper area on FR4 PCB. This value is achieved through the SOD123F package's exposed cathode metallization and optimized thermal path design, enabling effective heat transfer without heatsinks in space-constrained automotive modules.
