Product details
Overview
BZX84W-C11-QX from Nexperia is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 11 V nominal Zener 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 regulation in compact space-constrained power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-C11-QX datasheet, BZX84W-C11-QX pinout, BZX84W-C11-QX application, or BZX84W-C11-QX 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 footprint compatibility for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 11 V regulation across load and line variations, with low dynamic impedance enabling tight voltage control under transient current shifts. Its ±5% tolerance (C-series) balances cost and accuracy for non-critical biasing and clamping functions.
Qualified to AEC-Q101, it sustains operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient and features 100 nA reverse leakage at VR = 8 V, supporting reliable performance in automotive body electronics and industrial sensor signal conditioning where thermal stability and long-term drift are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; defines precise regulation point for reference and clamp circuits |
| Tolerance | ±5% (C-series); enables cost-effective selection where tighter tolerance is not required |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 150 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA; determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 100 nA at VR = 8 V; ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW on FR4 PCB; sets maximum continuous DC or low-duty-cycle pulse power handling |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +7.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA; quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; defines anode-to-cathode drop during forward conduction for polarity-sensitive protection |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package: 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.9 mm max height; optimized for automated reflow assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in Zener regulation configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; ties to higher-potential rail to enable Zener breakdown and voltage clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including body control modules and infotainment power supplies |
| Wide voltage range (2.4–75 V) | Enables single-family sourcing across diverse system voltage rails without redesigning layout or BOM |
| SOT323 ultra-small footprint | Reduces board area by >50% vs. SOT23; supports miniaturized wearables and ECU modules |
| Two tolerance options (±2%, ±5%) | Allows trade-off between regulation accuracy and unit cost based on application criticality |
| Low thermal resistance (455 K/W) | Supports stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature with minimal derating on standard FR4 |
Applications

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 | No automotive qualification; lacks AEC-Q101 test documentation | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment | Select only if automotive compliance is not required and cost is primary driver |
| MMSZ5240B | ±5% tolerance, 10 V nominal, SOD-123 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W) | Lower power density; unsuitable for ultra-compact automotive modules | Choose when existing SOD-123 layout is fixed and 10 V regulation suffices |
Compared with BZX84W-C11-QX, BZX84W-C11 omits AEC-Q101 validation and traceability, while MMSZ5240B trades 1 V lower Zener voltage and reduced thermal performance for legacy package compatibility-making the QX variant optimal for new automotive designs demanding both precision and qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84W-C11-QX?
The BZX84W-C11-QX has a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V at 5 mA test current, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 10.4 V and 11.6 V respectively. Breakdown begins near the lower limit and stabilizes across the specified tolerance band; operation above 11.6 V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings.
Can BZX84W-C11-QX replace BZX84-C11 in an existing design?
Yes, BZX84W-C11-QX is a direct functional replacement for BZX84-C11 with identical electrical specifications and SOT323 footprint, but adds AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced thermal performance due to optimized die attachment. No layout or schematic changes are needed.
Is pin 2 (n.c.) electrically isolated or internally tied to substrate?
Pin 2 is fully electrically isolated-not connected to anode, cathode, or substrate-and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Internal isolation prevents parasitic capacitance or leakage paths that could degrade high-frequency regulation performance.
What is the recommended solder profile for BZX84W-C11-QX in reflow assembly?
The device is qualified for standard lead-free reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp-up rate ≤3 °C/s and ramp-down rate ≤6 °C/s. Reflow footprint matches Figure 9 in the datasheet: 0.55 mm × 0.6 mm pads with 0.65 mm pitch.
