Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B11-QF from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 11 V nominal regulation voltage at 5 mA, with 150 Ω typical differential resistance and 7.4 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers 275 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB and supports automotive-grade voltage reference and overvoltage protection in compact DC-DC feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B11-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B11-QF pinout, BZX84W-B11-QF application, or BZX84W-B11-QF equivalent, this page provides verified Zener parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (455 K/W), reverse leakage (100 nA at 8 V), and SOT323 terminal mapping to support precision biasing and ESD-tolerant clamp design.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled 10.8–11.2 V tolerance at IZ = 5 mA, enabling stable reference generation under varying load and temperature. Its low 150 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift across current changes from 1 mA to 20 mA.
The device exhibits a +7.4 mV/K positive temperature coefficient near 11 V, making it suitable for temperature-compensated references when paired with negative-coefficient components. It is qualified per AEC-Q101 and rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C11-Q | ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); otherwise identical package, power rating, and thermal specs | Acceptable where reference accuracy < ±5 % suffices; lower cost tier | Select when tighter regulation is unnecessary and BOM cost optimization is prioritized |
| MMSZ4689-TP | 11 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, higher 350 Ω rdif | Higher power but larger footprint and looser regulation; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose only if board space allows SOD-123 and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with BZX84W-C11-Q, the BZX84W-B11-QF offers twice the voltage accuracy at same footprint and qualification level; versus MMSZ4689-TP, it trades 225 mW lower power for AEC-Q101 compliance, 2.3× lower dynamic impedance, and 35 % smaller area-critical for automotive and space-constrained IoT designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can regulate stably?
The BZX84W-B11-QF is specified for stable Zener operation at 11 V nominal with ±2 % tolerance (10.8–11.2 V range) at 5 mA test current. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is limited by the 150 °C junction temperature rating and 275 mW power dissipation; sustained operation above 11.2 V requires derating based on thermal resistance (455 K/W) and ambient conditions.
Is pin 2 electrically functional or a dummy pad?
Pin 2 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in Nexperia's official pinning diagram and has no internal semiconductor connection. It must remain unconnected in PCB layout and soldering-neither grounded nor tied to any net-to avoid unintended parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on the die attach.
How does its temperature coefficient affect regulation stability?
With a +7.4 mV/K temperature coefficient at 11 V, the BZX84W-B11-QF's Zener voltage increases by approximately 7.4 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive drift must be accounted for in wide-temperature-range applications; pairing with a negative-coefficient component (e.g., forward-biased diode) enables compensated reference designs.
Can it replace older BZX84C11 in existing SOT23 designs?
No-BZX84W-B11-QF uses SOT323 (SC-70), which is physically smaller than SOT23 and incompatible with SOT23 footprints. While both regulate ~11 V, the SOT323 package requires redesigned PCB land patterns, stencil apertures, and reflow profiles; direct substitution would cause solder joint reliability issues and assembly yield loss.
