Product details
Overview
BZT5250H-B11X from Nexperia is a low-current Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 11 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, with ±2 % tolerance, 830 mW total power dissipation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature-used for precision voltage reference and low-power biasing in portable battery-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the BZT5250H-B11X datasheet, BZT5250H-B11X pinout, BZT5250H-B11X application, or BZT5250H-B11X equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical characteristics, thermal resistance data (150 K/W junction-to-solder-point), differential resistance (150 Ω at IZ = 1 mA), temperature coefficient (+5.4 mV/K), and reverse leakage behavior under 10 V bias.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with specified regulation at ultra-low test current (50 µA), enabling stable reference generation in micropower circuits where quiescent current must remain below 100 µA. Its intentional minor leakage rise improves switching speed and reduces noise per AN90031.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/K at 11 V, ensuring predictable drift in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 150 K/W under standard FR4 mounting, supporting reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 10.8 V to 11.2 V at IZ = 50 µA - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate low-current reference without trimming |
| Differential Resistance rdiff | 150 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - low dynamic impedance maintains regulation stability under small load variations |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +5.4 mV/K - predictable positive drift allows compensation in multi-stage bias networks |
| Reverse Current IR | 0.05 µA max at VR = 8.4 V - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Forward Voltage VF | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - ensures minimal forward conduction loss during polarity-reversal protection use |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sufficient headroom for transient surges in compact SOD123F footprint |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth(j-sp) | 150 K/W - enables thermal-aware PCB layout with localized cathode pad cooling |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, flat lead profile, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reverse-biased junction for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-test-current regulation | Specified at 50 µA - eliminates need for high-bias current sources in energy-constrained IoT endpoints |
| Optimized leakage profile | Intentionally elevated IR supports faster turn-off and lower broadband noise per AN90031 |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - reduces binning requirements and simplifies reference selection in production |
| Thermally robust mounting | 150 K/W Rth(j-sp) with 1 cm² cathode pad - enables reliable operation in thermally dense layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C11 | Same 11 V, ±2 %, but SOD523 package (1.3 × 0.85 mm); 500 mW Ptot; higher rdiff (300 Ω) | Higher board density possible, but reduced power handling and poorer regulation stiffness | Select when PCB area is critical and peak power < 500 mW; avoid for sustained 11 V biasing |
| MMSZ5240B | 10 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD123; 500 mW Ptot; 170 Ω rdiff at 20 mA | Looser tolerance and higher test current (20 mA) increase quiescent drain in battery systems | Acceptable only if 10 V suffices and >20 µA standby current is permissible |
Compared with BZT5250H-B11X, BZX584C11 trades power capability and regulation precision for size, while MMSZ5240B sacrifices accuracy and micropower operation for cost-making BZT5250H-B11X optimal for precision, low-IQ 11 V references.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed Zener voltage range for BZT5250H-B11X at 50 µA?
The guaranteed Zener voltage is 10.8 V to 11.2 V at IZ = 50 µA and Tj = 25 °C, reflecting its ±2 % tolerance grade. This range remains valid across the full operating ambient temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C), with temperature-induced drift bounded by the +5.4 mV/K coefficient.
Can BZT5250H-B11X be used in place of a 12 V Zener diode?
No-BZT5250H-B11X is strictly a nominal 11 V device with 10.8–11.2 V regulation band; substituting it for a 12 V Zener would cause under-regulation in circuits requiring ≥12 V reference or clamp threshold. Use BZT5250H-B12WA for 12 V (11.8–12.2 V).
How does the "intentional minor rise of leakage current" affect circuit performance?
This design feature reduces minority-carrier storage time, cutting turn-off delay and minimizing switching noise-critical in fast-settling reference buffers and transient clamps. It does not increase steady-state leakage beyond datasheet limits (0.05 µA at 8.4 V) and improves RF immunity in sensitive analog paths.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method, with footprint dimensions (2.9 × 1.6 mm occupied area) aligned to IPC-7351B medium density. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, and thermal resistance data assumes tin-plated FR4 with single-sided 1 cm² cathode pad.
