Product details
Overview
HPZR-C11-QX from Nexperia is a high-power Zener voltage regulator diode in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, rated for 5.5 W total power dissipation at Tsp = 75 °C, with nominal working voltage 11 V (±5 % tolerance), forward voltage ≤1 V at 100 mA, and ESD rating of 30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact discharge); used for low-current regulation in automotive power rails and ECU bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the HPZR-C11-QX datasheet, HPZR-C11-QX pinout, HPZR-C11-QX application, or HPZR-C11-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior under PCB mounting conditions, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world design implications for voltage clamping and reference stability in harsh-environment electronics.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable reverse-biased conduction above its 11 V nominal Zener voltage (10.0–11.1 V range at IZ = 1 mA). Its differential resistance is 19.61 Ω at 20 mA, enabling tight regulation under dynamic load transients.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W (to solder point) and Rth(j-a) = 70 K/W (to ambient on ceramic PCB), supporting reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature - critical for under-hood automotive deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 11 V (min 10.0 V, max 11.1 V at IZ = 1 mA); defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation | 5500 mW at Tsp = 75 °C (zero lead length); enables sustained regulation in thermally constrained SMD layouts |
| Forward Voltage | ≤1 V at IF = 100 mA; ensures minimal conduction loss during forward-biased fault conditions |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge; provides robust immunity against handling and system-level electrostatic events |
| Differential Resistance | 19.61 Ω at IZ = 20 mA; determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Current | 5 μA max at VR = 9 V; guarantees low leakage in standby or low-power monitoring modes |
| Junction Temperature | −55 °C to +175 °C; supports operation across full automotive ambient range including engine bay environments |
Pinout & Package
HPZR-C11-QX uses the CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; carries reverse current during Zener conduction; solder pad serves as primary thermal path |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation; electrically isolated from heatsink function |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C11 | 300 mW rating, SOT23 package, RZ = 25 Ω, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to low-power logic rails; unsuitable for under-hood thermal or surge environments | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer PCBs where 11 V reference stability and surge immunity are secondary |
| MMSZ5240B | 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package, VZ = 10 V (±5 %), RZ = 17 Ω, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower voltage rating and power headroom; requires derating above 85 °C ambient | Acceptable for cabin-grade modules but cannot replace HPZR-C11-QX in engine bay or high-transient zones |
Compared with BZX84-C11 and MMSZ5240B, HPZR-C11-QX delivers 11× higher power capability, superior thermal resistance (18 K/W vs. >40 K/W), and guaranteed automotive reliability - making it the sole choice for primary 12 V rail regulation in safety-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the HPZR-C11-QX can sustain at 125 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 125 °C on an FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad, HPZR-C11-QX sustains 320 mA continuous reverse current before reaching its 5.5 W power limit - calculated from Ptot = VZ × IZ and derated thermal resistance of 130 K/W. This exceeds typical ECU bias current demands by >3×.
Does HPZR-C11-QX require external series resistance in standard 12 V regulation applications?
Yes - a minimum series resistor of 10 Ω is required to limit current during worst-case 16 V load-dump transients, ensuring IZ stays below 500 mA (within IFSM = 50 A surge margin). The resistor value is derived from (Vin(max) − VZ(min)) / IZ(max), using 10.0 V and 500 mA for design margin.
How does the CFP3 package improve thermal performance versus standard SOD-123?
The CFP3 (SOD123W) package reduces Rth(j-sp) to 18 K/W - 35 % lower than standard SOD-123 - via wider cathode tab and optimized internal die attach. This allows 2.2× higher steady-state power dissipation at the same solder-point temperature, directly enabling 5.5 W operation without added copper area.
Can HPZR-C11-QX be used in parallel for higher current capability?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficient and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. For >500 mA applications, use a single HPZR-C11-QX with appropriate series resistor and thermal pad, or select a discrete MOSFET-based shunt regulator topology.
