Product details
Overview
CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) from Toshiba is a silicon epitaxial Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and surge absorption in compact surface-mount applications. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V (min 16.2 V, max 19.8 V) at 10 mA, with 30 Ω typical Zener impedance, 0.7 W power dissipation, and operates across −40 to 150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) datasheet, CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) pinout, CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) application, or CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) equivalent, key selection factors include its S-FLAT™ package footprint, low thermal resistance on standard PCB land patterns, stable temperature coefficient (typ. +23 mV/°C), and suitability for precision clamping in power supply feedback loops and ESD protection circuits.
Technical Context
The CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 10 mA test current with ±1.8 V tolerance (16.2–19.8 V), and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +23 mV/°C (typ.), indicating increasing VZ with rising temperature.
It is rated for 0.7 W average power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, with derating required above 25 °C per the published P–Ta curve. The device uses a silicon epitaxial structure and is packaged in Toshiba's S-FLAT™ surface-mount case (JEITA package code 3-2A1S), optimized for thermal performance on 6 mm × 6 mm copper land patterns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 16.2–19.8 V at IZ = 10 mA - defines clamping threshold range for overvoltage protection |
| Zener Impedance rd | 30 Ω (typ.) - determines regulation stiffness under varying load current |
| Power Dissipation P | 0.7 W (Ta = 25°C) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Junction Temp Range | −40 to +150 °C - supports operation in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.0 V max at IF = 0.2 A - ensures low-loss conduction when used bidirectionally or in series |
| Reverse Current IR | 10 μA max at VR = 13.0 V - confirms sharp knee and low leakage below breakdown |
| Temp Coefficient αT | +23 mV/°C (typ.) - enables predictable VZ drift compensation in temperature-critical designs |
Pinout & Package
CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) is housed in Toshiba's S-FLAT™ surface-mount package (JEITA code 3-2A1S), a 2-pin, gull-wing leaded plastic case measuring 2.8 × 1.2 × 1.2 mm with cathode marking. The package is optimized for thermal dissipation on standard FR-4 PCBs using a 6 mm × 6 mm solder land.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C18LT1G | 18 V nominal, 350 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 40 Ω ZZ, −2 mV/°C tempco | Lower power and negative tempco - better for temperature-stable references, not surge-heavy roles | Choose for space-constrained logic-level clamping where thermal margin is ample |
| MMBZ5245B | 18 V nominal, 350 mW, SOT-23, 23 Ω ZZ, +2.5 mV/°C tempco | Similar impedance but significantly lower power rating - unsuitable for sustained 0.7 W loads | Prefer for low-duty-cycle transient suppression in portable electronics |
Compared with BZX84-C18LT1G and MMBZ5245B, CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) offers 100% higher power rating, S-FLAT™ thermal performance superior to SOT-23, and a positive tempco that complements NTC-based compensation schemes - making it optimal for industrial power regulation where sustained dissipation and thermal stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) at 10 mA?
The CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) has a Zener voltage range of 16.2 V (minimum) to 19.8 V (maximum) when tested at IZ = 10 mA, yielding a ±1.8 V tolerance about the nominal 18.0 V value. This specification is confirmed in Toshiba's official CRY62–CRZ39 datasheet, page 2, Electrical Characteristics table.
Does CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) have a cathode marking, and how is it identified on the package?
Yes, CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) features a cathode band marking on the top surface of its S-FLAT™ package, consistent with industry-standard polarity identification. The marking is visible as a distinct line or dot adjacent to the cathode terminal, and the device's JEITA package code is 3-2A1S per Toshiba's Land Pattern Dimensions diagram.
What is the maximum reverse current IR for CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse current IR for CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) is 10 μA, measured at a reverse voltage VR of 13.0 V. This value appears in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Toshiba CRY62–CRZ39 datasheet and reflects low leakage behavior well below the Zener knee.
Can CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) be used in place of a 1N4746A in a 18 V regulator circuit?
CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) is not a direct replacement for 1N4746A due to differing packages (S-FLAT™ vs. DO-41), thermal profiles, and power derating curves. While both are 18 V Zeners, CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) is rated for 0.7 W at 25°C with SMT mounting, whereas 1N4746A is 1.0 W axial-leaded. Layout and thermal design must be revalidated if substituting CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M).
What is the temperature coefficient of CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M), and how does it affect long-term stability?
The temperature coefficient αT of CRZ18(TE85L,Q,M) is +23 mV/°C (typical), meaning its Zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. This characteristic enables predictable drift compensation in multi-component reference designs and contributes to stable long-term performance when operated within its −40 to +150 °C Tj range.
