Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C11-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 11 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation and reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C11-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C11-QX pinout, BZT52H-C11-QX application, or BZT52H-C11-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal resistance values, reverse current limits, temperature coefficient behavior, and automotive-grade reliability context - all confirmed from Nexperia's official product data sheet Rev. 1 (October 2021).
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased mode, with a specified Zener voltage of 10.4 V to 11.6 V at IZ = 5 mA and a temperature coefficient of +0.1 mV/K. Its differential resistance is ≤70 Ω, enabling stable regulation under moderate load variation.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs, it features a cathode-anode two-terminal configuration, marking bar indicating cathode, and thermal resistance from junction to solder point of 70 K/W - critical for thermal management in compact automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.4 V to 11.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output range under standard test conditions |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - specifies maximum deviation from nominal 11 V, used for BOM tolerance budgeting |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 pad |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤70 Ω - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 μA at VR = 8.8 V - quantifies leakage below knee voltage, critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +0.1 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - indicates near-zero drift over temperature, suitable for stable references |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - confirms operational capability across full automotive ambient range |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F plastic surface-mount package: 2-lead, flat lead, small outline (3.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm), cathode marked by bar on body.
| 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 bias applied between anode and cathode to enable Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress test standard - enables deployment in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS without additional qualification |
| Three tolerance options | ±1 %, ±2 %, and ±5 % variants - allows cost-performance trade-off selection based on system accuracy requirements |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - supports higher power operation with minimal junction temperature rise when soldered to adequate copper area |
| Wide voltage range | 2.4 V to 75 V (E24 series) - provides standardized Zener selection across diverse supply rail and reference needs |
| Pulse surge capability | IZSM = 2.5 A (100 μs) - withstands transient overvoltage events common in automotive load-dump scenarios |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Monitoring | Industrial Sensor Reference Supply |
|---|---|

Use Value: ±5 % tolerance and +0.1 mV/K TC ensure fault thresholds remain within ±200 mV over −40 °C to +125 °C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Generating precise bias voltage for analog front-end of pressure sensor in factory automation PLC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as shunt regulator supplying clean 11 V to op-amp reference input and ADC voltage reference buffer. Use Value: 70 Ω differential resistance minimizes output impedance shift under varying sensor bias current, preserving measurement linearity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B11-Q | ±2 % tolerance, 60 Ω rdif, +0.1 mV/K TC | Higher accuracy required in precision reference circuits where ±5 % drift is unacceptable | Select when tighter regulation stability justifies modest cost increase and lower power margin (750 mW Ptot) |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, +2 mV/K TC, SOD-123 package | Lower thermal performance and higher tempco limit use to non-automotive, room-temperature environments | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer designs where AEC-Q101 compliance and low-drift operation are not required |
Compared with BZT52H-C11-QX, the BZT52H-B11-Q offers improved regulation accuracy and lower dynamic impedance but reduced power headroom, while MMSZ5240B-TP lacks automotive qualification and exhibits significantly higher temperature-induced drift - making the original part optimal for thermally demanding, safety-critical vehicle systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZT52H-C11-QX can handle at 25 °C?
The device is rated for a maximum total power dissipation of 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. With a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 75 mA (830 mW ÷ 11 V). Operation beyond this requires thermal derating per the Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W curve.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect circuit design margins?
The ±5 % tolerance means the actual Zener voltage falls between 10.4 V and 11.6 V at 5 mA. Designers must size series resistors and verify regulation headroom across this full range - especially critical in battery-monitoring comparators where threshold accuracy directly impacts fault detection reliability.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - Nexperia explicitly recommends reflow soldering only for the SOD123F package. The footprint in Figure 12 specifies 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm solder land dimensions, and the device is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, supporting standard lead-free reflow cycles without preconditioning.
Can BZT52H-C11-QX replace older BZT52C11 variants in existing designs?
Yes - BZT52H-C11-QX maintains identical electrical specifications, pinout, and SOD123F footprint as legacy BZT52C11 parts, while adding AEC-Q101 qualification and improved thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W vs. typical 90 K/W). No layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in automotive upgrades.
