Product details
Overview
D3Z36BF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 36 V Zener diode in SOD323F package, rated for 400 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, with ±2.5% tolerance (35.07–36.87 V at 5 mA), 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and −27 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It serves as a stable voltage reference in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the D3Z36BF-7 datasheet, D3Z36BF-7 pinout, D3Z36BF-7 application, or D3Z36BF-7 equivalent, this part is selected for precision biasing, overvoltage clamping, and feedback regulation where tight VZ tolerance, low thermal drift, and SMT compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V at IZT = 5 mA. Its −27 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensures predictable VZ shift across −65°C to +150°C operating range, and its 60 Ω Zener impedance at test current supports stable regulation under moderate load transients.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction in a molded plastic SOD323F package with cathode band marking, matte tin–annealed copper alloy terminals, and meets J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity-enabling robust reflow compatibility without baking.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B36,115 | Same 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (34.2–37.8 V), 90 Ω ZZT, SOD323 package | Higher VZ tolerance and impedance reduce regulation accuracy in precision feedback loops | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs tight VZ stability requirements |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 Ω ZZT, SOD123 package, 500 mW rating | Larger SOD123 footprint and higher ZZT limit use in space-constrained, low-noise designs | Select only if board layout requires larger pad spacing or higher pulse power margin |
Compared with BZX384-B36 and MMSZ5245B-TP, D3Z36BF-7 delivers superior voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance in the smallest footprint-making it optimal for miniaturized, high-stability analog systems where thermal drift and layout area are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for D3Z36BF-7 at 25°C?
The device is rated for 400 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient. At 36 V nominal Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of approximately 11.1 mA (IZ = PD/VZ). Derating applies above 25°C per Fig. 1's power derating curve.
Does D3Z36BF-7 meet AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use?
No-D3Z36BF-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states that automotive-qualified variants require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing; customers must contact Diodes directly for such versions.
How does the −27 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This coefficient means VZ decreases by 27 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over a 100°C span (−40°C to +60°C), VZ shifts by ~2.7 V-requiring compensation in high-accuracy references but acceptable for general-purpose clamping where absolute stability is secondary to fast response.
Can D3Z36BF-7 be used in place of a 33 V Zener for overvoltage protection?
No-it is not a drop-in replacement. With a minimum VZ of 35.07 V, it triggers at higher voltage than a 33 V Zener (e.g., D3Z33BF, min 32.15 V). Using it in a 33 V protection circuit would delay clamping, risking upstream component damage during overvoltage events.
