Product details
Overview
CSLZ6V8,L3F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in low-power signal lines. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V (min 6.4 V, max 7.2 V) at 5 mA test current, with dynamic impedance ≤30 Ω, clamp voltage of 14.5 V at 2.5 A peak pulse current, and ESD robustness of ±30 kV (contact). It is used in I/O port protection for microcontroller-based industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the CSLZ6V8,L3F datasheet, CSLZ6V8,L3F pinout, CSLZ6V8,L3F application, or CSLZ6V8,L3F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 mW steady-state power rating on small PCB pads, 40 W peak pulse power per IEC61000-4-5, low 0.5 pF junction capacitance, and SL2 surface-mount package compatibility with high-density layouts.
Technical Context
The CSLZ6V8,L3F operates as a precision shunt regulator and transient voltage suppressor in DC bias networks and data line interfaces. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides stable reference voltage under reverse bias, while its low dynamic resistance (≤30 Ω) ensures tight regulation across 5 mA to 20 mA operating range.
Designed for compliance with IEC61000-4-2 (ESD) and IEC61000-4-5 (surge), it clamps transients to ≤14.5 V at 2.5 A with 8/20 μs waveform, and exhibits only 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 5.0 V - enabling use in battery-powered systems where standby current matters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4–7.2 V (min–max) at 5 mA - ensures stable reference within ±5% tolerance for supply rail monitoring |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | ≤30 Ω - minimizes output voltage variation under load changes in regulation circuits |
| Clamp Voltage (VC) | 14.5 V at 2.5 A peak pulse - limits surge energy to safe levels for downstream logic ICs |
| Junction Capacitance (Ct) | 25 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in <10 MHz digital I/O and sensor interfaces |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 150 mW on 4 mm × 4 mm pad - supports thermal reliability in compact consumer and industrial PCBs |
| ESD Withstand (Contact) | ±30 kV per IEC61000-4-2 - eliminates need for external ESD diodes in USB, UART, and GPIO protection |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA at 5.0 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in always-on sensing nodes |
Pinout & Package
CSLZ6V8,L3F uses the SL2 surface-mount package (0.6 mm × 1.2 mm, 0.2 mg typical weight), optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering. The device has two terminals in a cathode-anode configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked) | Cathode | Connected to regulated or protected node; conducts when voltage exceeds VZ |
| 2 | Anode | Typically grounded or connected to lower-potential rail; completes conduction path during clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| E24-series Zener voltage | 6.8 V nominal aligns with standard resistor/voltage-divider design practices and simplifies BOM rationalization |
| Low-clamp-voltage transient suppression | 14.5 V clamping at 2.5 A protects 3.3 V and 5 V logic without requiring series current limiting resistors |
| Ultra-low junction capacitance | 25 pF enables use on high-speed analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor bridges, ADC references) without bandwidth degradation |
| High ESD immunity | ±30 kV contact discharge withstand eliminates secondary ESD protection components in front-end interface stages |
| Small-outline SL2 package | 0.6 mm × 1.2 mm footprint saves >60% board area vs. SOD-323, critical for wearables and miniaturized IoT modules |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | USB-C Port Protection |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2016LFG-7 | 100 mW PD, 12 V VZ, SOT-723 package, 45 pF Ct | Higher clamp voltage (19.5 V), higher capacitance - less suitable for 3.3 V logic protection | Select CSLZ6V8,L3F for 6.8 V regulation and lower capacitance; choose DMN2016LFG-7 only if higher VZ and legacy SOT-723 footprint required |
| BZX584C6V8 | 250 mW PD, same 6.8 V VZ, SOD-523 package, 30 pF Ct, 20 kV ESD | Larger footprint (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm), lower ESD rating - requires more board space and additional ESD hardening | Prefer CSLZ6V8,L3F for space-constrained designs needing ±30 kV ESD; BZX584C6V8 suits cost-sensitive, non-ESD-critical applications |
Compared with DMN2016LFG-7 and BZX584C6V8, CSLZ6V8,L3F uniquely combines ±30 kV ESD immunity, 25 pF capacitance, and SL2 footprint - making it optimal for high-density, ESD-prone interfaces like portable medical sensors and USB peripherals.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of CSLZ6V8,L3F?
The CSLZ6V8,L3F has a Zener voltage range of 6.4 V (minimum) to 7.2 V (maximum) at 5 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V rating. This E24-series alignment ensures compatibility with standard voltage divider and bias network designs. The specification is guaranteed under Ta = 25°C and is validated per Toshiba's production test flow.
Does CSLZ6V8,L3F support bidirectional ESD protection?
No - CSLZ6V8,L3F is a unidirectional Zener diode configured for reverse-bias operation only. It functions as a cathode-grounded shunt clamp. For bidirectional protection, two CSLZ6V8,L3F devices must be used in series opposition (anode-to-anode), or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as DF2S7.5M should be selected instead.
What is the thermal resistance of CSLZ6V8,L3F on a standard PCB?
When mounted on a 20 mm × 20 mm glass epoxy board with 4 mm × 4 mm Cu pads, CSLZ6V8,L3F achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of approximately 833°C/W, enabling 150 mW continuous dissipation at 25°C ambient. Derating is required above 25°C per Toshiba's published Rth(j-a)-tw curves.
Can CSLZ6V8,L3F be used in place of a standard 1N4734A?
No - CSLZ6V8,L3F is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4734A. While both regulate near 6.8 V, the 1N4734A is a 1 W through-hole Zener with DO-41 package and ~5 Ω impedance, whereas CSLZ6V8,L3F is a 150 mW SL2 surface-mount device with 30 Ω impedance and optimized for ESD/surge clamping, not power regulation. Substitution requires full circuit revalidation.
Is CSLZ6V8,L3F RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - CSLZ6V8,L3F meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 requirements, as confirmed by Toshiba's material declarations and compliance documentation. Lead-free soldering compatible, with MSL level 1 rating and no moisture sensitivity restrictions for standard reflow profiles.
