Product details
Overview
PZU11BA,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 11 V nominal working voltage, 320 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power. It delivers low dynamic impedance (60 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA), tight temperature coefficient (±0.3 mV/K typ), and optimized leakage for fast switching in precision reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU11BA,115 datasheet, PZU11BA,115 pinout, PZU11BA,115 application, or PZU11BA,115 equivalent, this device supports stable voltage clamping in low-power analog signal conditioning, overvoltage protection for microcontroller I/O rails, and noise-sensitive reference generation where thermal stability and sharp breakdown knee are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a nominal regulation voltage of 11 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a typical temperature coefficient of +0.3 mV/K and maximum differential resistance of 60 Ω. Its design targets low-current stability, with specified reverse current ≤10 nA at 0.5 mA and ≤100 nA at 5 mA.
The device uses an intentional minor rise in leakage current-per AN90031-to improve transient response and reduce switching noise, distinguishing it from standard ±5 % tolerance variants like PZU11BA. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 55 K/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PZU11B,115 | ±5 % tolerance, higher rdif (80 Ω max), no intentional leakage optimization | Acceptable for non-critical biasing where cost is prioritized over precision | Select when ±5 % voltage margin suffices and AN90031 noise reduction is unnecessary |
| BZX84-C11,215 | ±5 % tolerance, SOT23 package (larger footprint), 350 mW Ptot, higher Cd (40 pF) | Better thermal mass but slower response due to higher capacitance and less optimized leakage | Choose for legacy SOT23 layouts or when higher surge energy handling is needed over speed |
Compared with PZU11BA,115, the PZU11B,115 trades precision and noise performance for cost, while BZX84-C11,215 sacrifices switching speed and board area for thermal robustness-making PZU11BA,115 optimal for compact, noise-sensitive 11 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU11BA,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous reverse current is not directly specified, but the device is rated for 320 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. At 11 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum steady-state reverse current of approximately 29 mA (320 mW ÷ 11 V), assuming full power is allocated to Zener conduction.
Does PZU11BA,115 support reflow soldering, and what footprint is recommended?
Yes, PZU11BA,115 is qualified for reflow soldering. The recommended footprint is defined in Figure 10 of the datasheet: two 0.5 mm × 1.5 mm solder lands spaced 1.3 mm apart, with 0.6 mm solder resist opening per pad, matching the SOD323 (SC-76) outline dimensions.
How does the B2 tolerance series differ electrically from the B series in the PZUxBA family?
The B2 series (e.g., PZU11BA,115) specifies ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance versus ±5 % for the B series (e.g., PZU11B,115), achieved via tighter process control. B2 parts also feature lower maximum differential resistance (60 Ω vs. 80 Ω) and are explicitly tuned per AN90031 for improved switching noise performance.
Can PZU11BA,115 be used in place of a 12 V Zener diode in a voltage reference circuit?
No-PZU11BA,115 is strictly a nominal 11 V device with ±2 % tolerance (10.78 V to 11.22 V). Substituting it for a 12 V Zener would cause systematic under-regulation by ~1 V. For 12 V, use PZU12B2A,115 (12 V ±2 %), which shares identical package, thermal, and electrical characteristics except nominal voltage.
