Product details
Overview
BZT52C11-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 11 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with ±5% zener voltage tolerance (10.4–11.6 V), 20 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 8.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC supply rails and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C11-7 datasheet, BZT52C11-7 pinout, BZT52C11-7 application, or BZT52C11-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 11 V nominal breakdown voltage, SOD123 thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 8.0 V), temperature coefficient (+5.4 mV/°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and temperature shifts. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics, while the SOD123 package supports automated placement and offers 150 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/°C above 6 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs. It is specified for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and qualified to AEC-Q101, confirming suitability for under-hood automotive electronics and industrial control systems requiring high-reliability discrete clamping.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BS-7-F | Same 11 V nominal, but SOT-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 400 °C/W) | Preferred for space-constrained portable devices; less suitable for sustained 370 mW dissipation | Select when board area is critical and peak power is short-duration only |
| BZX84-C11 | Same 11 V rating, but SOT-23 package and 350 mW PD at TA = +25°C | Lower power capability limits use in thermally dense automotive modules | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5240BS-7-F and BZX84-C11, BZT52C11-7 delivers superior thermal performance in SOD123, higher power margin for automotive transients, and formal AEC-Q101 validation-making it the preferred choice for under-hood and industrial control applications demanding long-term stability and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZT52C11-7 at 8.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for BZT52C11-7 is 0.1 µA at VR = 8.0 V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient designs in battery-backed systems and low-power sensor interfaces where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
Is BZT52C11-7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BZT52C11-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured in a green, halogen-free, lead-free process compliant with RoHS 2. Its operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, robust SOD123 package, and validated reliability testing make it approved for use in automotive body electronics, infotainment power domains, and engine control subsystems.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZT52C11-7's regulation accuracy?
BZT52C11-7 has a temperature coefficient of +5.4 mV/°C, meaning its zener voltage increases linearly with temperature. At +125°C, VZ rises by approximately 594 mV above its +25°C value - a total shift of ~5.4%. This behavior is well-documented and predictable, allowing designers to compensate in reference circuits or select it where monotonic drift is acceptable.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SOD123 mounting?
The recommended SOD123 pad layout per Diodes Incorporated's package outline specifies X = 0.900 mm (anode pad width), X1 = 4.050 mm (cathode pad length), and Y = 0.950 mm (pad height). This layout ensures reliable solder joint formation, accommodates thermal expansion, and maintains alignment during reflow - critical for achieving the rated 370 mW power dissipation on FR-4 boards.
