BZT55C11-GS08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZT55C11-GS08 is a single Zener diode from the Vishay BZT55 series, housed in a QuadroMELF (SOD-80) surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a ±5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA, exhibits a maximum dynamic resistance of 20 Ω, and maintains a reverse leakage current below 0.1 µA. It supports an operating junction temperature range up to 175 °C and meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides very sharp reverse breakdown characteristics for precise voltage regulation
• Ensures high stability and low noise performance across operating conditions
• Features extremely low reverse leakage current levels

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix GS08 against official documentation to confirm packaging details, as variations exist within the BZT55 family. Confirm that the required tolerance aligns with the 'C' designation specifications. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified thermal limits to maintain reliability.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 11 V reference is required in a compact SOD-80 footprint. Consider the 500 mW power rating and thermal resistance values for heat dissipation requirements. Evaluate the ±5% voltage tolerance against circuit sensitivity needs before finalizing the design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZT55 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series offers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V in the same QuadroMELF package, allowing for standardized inventory management across various voltage regulation designs.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include BZT55B11-GS08 for tighter 2% tolerance or BZT55C3V6-GS08 if a different voltage level is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting.
