Product details
Overview
BZX84C11-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 350mW surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 11V (10.4–11.6V range at 5mA test current), 20Ω maximum zener impedance at 5mA, and 0.1µA maximum reverse leakage at 8V. It uses planar die construction in an SOT23 package and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C11-7 datasheet, BZX84C11-7 pinout, BZX84C11-7 application, or BZX84C11-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 11V zener tolerance, thermal resistance of 357°C/W (with terminals at ambient), 150°C max junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 5mA and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +5.4mV/°C near 11V. Its low 0.1µA reverse current at 8V enables high-impedance biasing in sensing and reference circuits.
The device's 350mW power rating is valid under free-air conditions with terminals held at ambient temperature; derating begins above 25°C per the published curve. Its SOT23 package supports compact layout and meets IPC/JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11V nominal (10.4–11.6V range at IZT = 5mA); defines stable clamping/reference point in regulation loops |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 350mW at TA = 25°C with terminals at ambient; sets maximum continuous dissipation without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 20Ω max at 5mA; determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1µA max at VR = 8V; ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 357°C/W; defines junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt under specified mounting conditions |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C; supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BS-7-F | Zener voltage 10V (9.5–10.5V), 225mW rating, 30Ω ZZT, SOT23 package | Lower voltage and power; suited for 10V systems with tighter board space constraints | Select when 10V reference suffices and thermal margin is limited |
| BZX84-C11,115 | Same 11V rating and SOT23 package, but Nexperia variant with 250mW PD, 25Ω ZZT, and different AEC-Q101 test profile | Higher process variability; requires validation for automotive safety-critical functions | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-safety designs where Diodes' AEC-Q101 traceability is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5240BS-7-F and BZX84-C11,115, the BZX84C11-7 delivers superior thermal robustness (350mW vs. 225–250mW), tighter zener impedance (20Ω vs. 25–30Ω), and full AEC-Q101 documentation traceability-making it optimal for automotive and industrial power management where long-term voltage stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX84C11-7 under standard mounting conditions?
The BZX84C11-7 has a maximum power dissipation of 350mW when mounted with terminals held at ambient temperature (per Note 7). When soldered to an FR-4 PCB using Diodes' recommended pad layout, its derated power drops to 300mW at 25°C ambient (per Note 6), decreasing linearly to zero at 150°C ambient.
How does the temperature coefficient affect voltage regulation accuracy over temperature?
The BZX84C11-7 has a temperature coefficient of +5.4mV/°C at 11V. Over a –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, this results in a total zener voltage shift of approximately ±0.89V (±8.1%), which must be accounted for in precision reference designs. For tighter stability, use in conjunction with negative-TC components or active compensation.
Is BZX84C11-7 suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes-the BZX84C11-7 is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and manufactured with green molding compound (date code V9 and newer). It supports operating temperatures from –65°C to +150°C and is approved for use in engine control units, body control modules, and infotainment power rails where 11V clamping or referencing is required.
What is the meaning of the "-7" suffix in the part number BZX84C11-7?
Per Diodes' ordering information, the "-7" suffix denotes standard-grade (non-automotive) packaging in 3,000-unit tape-and-reel format. The "Q-7" variant would indicate automotive-grade qualification, while "-13" and "Q-13" denote 10,000-unit reels. The "-7" version retains full AEC-Q101 qualification but is marked and shipped for general industrial use.
