Product details
Overview
BZX84C11W-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 11 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-323 package, rated for 5 mA test current with 10.4–11.6 V zener voltage tolerance, 20 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 8.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C11W-7-F datasheet, BZX84C11W-7-F pinout, BZX84C11W-7-F application, or BZX84C11W-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA, thermal resistance (625 K/W), ultra-small SOT-323 footprint, RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and temperature coefficient (5.4 to 9.0 mV/°C) for stable biasing in portable and space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. It features planar die construction for consistent parametric performance and is characterized at 25°C with specified min/max zener voltage, dynamic impedance, and temperature coefficient.
Its thermal design relies on FR4 PCB mounting with recommended pad layout to achieve 625 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The device exhibits a negative-to-positive temperature coefficient range (5.4–9.0 mV/°C), enabling predictable drift compensation in voltage-reference networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.0 V nominal, 10.4–11.6 V range at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for bias/reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - limits continuous power handling on standard FR4 board with recommended pads |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 20 Ω max at 5 mA - ensures low AC impedance for ripple rejection in regulated supplies |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at 8.0 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +5.4 to +9.0 mV/°C - enables predictable positive drift for temperature-compensated references |
| Package | SOT-323 - 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint ideal for dense PCB layouts and automated assembly |
| RoHS Compliance | Lead-free, "Green" molding compound (halogen-free) - meets environmental compliance for global shipments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 - ultra-small plastic surface-mount case with three terminals (anode, cathode, and exposed heat sink pad not electrically connected). Dimensions: 2.20 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.90 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower potential side in reverse-biased Zener operation; required for proper polarity orientation on PCB |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher potential side; carries regulated voltage output when reverse biased above VZ |
| Case / Heat Sink (Pin 3) | Mechanical ground reference | Non-electrical thermal path only; no internal connection - must be isolated from signal traces |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures tight parameter distribution and long-term stability of zener voltage over life |
| 200 mW dissipation rating | Supports use in low-power regulators without external heatsinking on standard FR4 |
| SOT-323 ultra-small package | Enables placement in space-constrained applications such as wearables and IoT sensor nodes |
| Lead-free & halogen-free ("Green") | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and global environmental directives |
| 625 K/W thermal resistance | Allows predictable junction temperature rise under 200 mW load with defined PCB copper area |

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 | 10 V nominal, 100 mW rating, SOT-323, ±5% tolerance | Lower power and voltage - suitable for 10 V reference but not direct 11 V replacement | Select when 10 V regulation suffices and lower cost is prioritized over tighter VZ tolerance |
| BZX84-C11-E3-08 | 11 V nominal, 350 mW rating, SOT-23, ±5% tolerance | Higher power, larger SOT-23 footprint - better thermal margin but occupies more board area | Choose for higher reliability in thermally demanding environments where SOT-23 is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5240BS-7-F and BZX84-C11-E3-08, BZX84C11W-7-F uniquely balances 11 V precision, 200 mW capability, and ultra-compact SOT-323 size-making it optimal for space-limited, battery-powered systems requiring exact 11 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can regulate without breakdown?
The BZX84C11W-7-F is rated for nominal 11 V zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with guaranteed breakdown between 10.4 V and 11.6 V. It begins regulating in reverse breakdown above ~10.4 V and maintains stable voltage up to its 200 mW power limit. Operation below 10.4 V remains in high-impedance reverse leakage region.
Can this part replace a through-hole 1N4740A in an existing design?
No - the BZX84C11W-7-F is a surface-mount SOT-323 device with different thermal characteristics, package dimensions, and soldering requirements than the axial-lead 1N4740A (12 V, 1 W). While both regulate near 11–12 V, the power rating, thermal resistance (625 K/W vs. ~125 K/W), and mounting method differ significantly and require PCB redesign.
Is the temperature coefficient linear across the operating range?
The published temperature coefficient (+5.4 to +9.0 mV/°C) is measured at IZT = 5 mA and represents average drift per degree Celsius near 25°C. Nonlinearity occurs outside 0–70°C ambient; actual drift follows a parabolic curve, so high-accuracy applications require calibration or complementary compensation networks.
Does this Zener diode have built-in ESD protection?
No - the BZX84C11W-7-F is not rated or characterized for ESD immunity. Its primary function is voltage regulation, not transient suppression. For ESD-sensitive applications, external TVS diodes or RC filtering must be added upstream, as specified in Diodes Inc.'s application note AP02001 for recommended PCB layout practices.
