Product details
Overview
PDZ11BZ from Nexperia is a single low-power Zener diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 11 V nominal working voltage with ±2 % tolerance, 60 Ω max differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at VR = 8.0 V - used in biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits in consumer power supplies and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ11BZ datasheet, PDZ11BZ pinout, PDZ11BZ application, or PDZ11BZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct-fit alternatives for low-current (<10 mA) 11 V stabilization tasks in space-constrained SMT designs.
Technical Context
The PDZ11BZ operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with sharp breakdown knee and hard Zener characteristic above 10.78 V (min) and below 11.22 V (max) at IZ = 5 mA. Its low dynamic impedance (≤60 Ω) ensures stable regulation under small-signal load variations.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W on FR4 PCB and junction temperature limit of +150 °C. Power dissipation is derated linearly above +25 °C ambient, reaching zero at +150 °C per Fig. 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 11.0 V (min 10.78 V / max 11.22 V at IZ = 5 mA); enables precise 11 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Differential Resistance | ≤60 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; ensures minimal output voltage shift under ±1 mA load current change |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 8.0 V; guarantees negligible standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; supports reliable anode-cathode polarity verification during functional test |
| Total Power Dissipation | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal shutdown |
| Temperature Coefficient | +7.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA; indicates positive drift rate requiring compensation in wide-temperature-range references |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76); 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint with 0.65 mm height - compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 plastic surface-mounted package with 2 leads; cathode marked by bar on top surface; body dimensions: 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H); recommended reflow land pattern per Fig. 9.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; carries reverse current during Zener conduction; marked by bar on package |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path for reverse-biased operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 60 Ω max at 5 mA enables tight voltage regulation in feedback loops and analog references |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp transition from blocking to conduction improves turn-on predictability in overvoltage clamp circuits |
| Small SMD footprint | SOD323 package saves >60 % board area vs. DO-35 through-hole equivalents for high-density layouts |
| ±2 % voltage tolerance | Guarantees 10.78–11.22 V range without post-production trimming in cost-sensitive applications |
| Low leakage current | 0.1 µA max at 8 V reverse bias minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered sensor bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C11 | DO-35 through-hole package; 5 % tolerance; 200 Ω max ZZT; 5 µA max IR at 8.8 V | Requires PCB real estate and wave-solder process; less precise regulation and higher leakage | Select for legacy through-hole designs or where manual prototyping favors axial leads |
| MMSZ5240B | SOD-123 package; 5 % tolerance; 20 Ω max ZZT at 20 mA; 0.1 µA max IR at 8.8 V | Lower impedance but rated at higher test current (20 mA); tighter thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 300 K/W) | Select when higher current regulation (>5 mA) or improved thermal margin is required |
Compared with PDZ11BZ, BZX55C11 trades precision and SMT compatibility for mechanical robustness and legacy support, while MMSZ5240B offers lower impedance at higher bias current but requires re-evaluation of power derating and layout constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current the PDZ11BZ can handle continuously?
The PDZ11BZ has no specified continuous reverse current rating; its operation is defined by power dissipation limits. At 25 °C ambient, it supports up to 36.4 mA reverse current (400 mW ÷ 11 V) before exceeding Ptot. Derating applies above 25 °C per Fig. 1's linear curve.
Can PDZ11BZ be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No - the PDZ-B series is not characterized or qualified for series connection. Variations in Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), temperature coefficient (+7.4 mV/K), and dynamic impedance would cause uneven voltage sharing and potential thermal runaway.
How does the 7.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term stability?
At 50 °C ambient rise, the Zener voltage increases by ~185 mV (7.4 × 25), shifting regulation from 11.0 V to ~11.185 V. For applications requiring <0.5 % drift, active compensation or selection of lower-coefficient parts (e.g., PDZ8.2B at +4.6 mV/K) is necessary.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard IPC-7351B land patterns?
Yes - the PDZ11BZ's SOD323 outline matches IPC-7351B "SOD323" generic footprint. Recommended solder lands are 0.5 mm × 0.6 mm (2×), with 0.6 mm pad spacing and 0.25 mm solder mask expansion, per Fig. 9 in the datasheet.
