Product details
Overview
D3Z4V3BF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 4.3 V Zener diode in SOD323F package, rated for 400 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, with ±2.5% tolerance (4.17–4.48 V at 5 mA), 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and -2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient - used for voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the D3Z4V3BF-7 datasheet, D3Z4V3BF-7 pinout, D3Z4V3BF-7 application, or D3Z4V3BF-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, cathode-band terminal identification, and automotive-grade packaging compliance per AEC-Q200 readiness criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its tight 4.17–4.48 V tolerance at IZT = 5 mA and low 90 Ω ZZT ensure minimal regulation error in feedback networks.
The -2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in precision references, while its 165 pF capacitance at 0 V supports stable operation up to ~1 MHz in filtering applications without resonance issues.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.17–4.48 V at 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with ±2.5% accuracy for stable biasing |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 400 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal shutdown |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω at 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient | -2.5 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree ambient change for thermal design margining |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3 μA at 1 V - specifies off-state current affecting high-impedance node leakage budgets |
| Total Capacitance | 165 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts AC coupling and noise filtering performance in signal paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B4V3,115 (Nexperia) | Same 4.3 V nominal, ±2% tolerance, but 300 mW rating and 110 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling limits use in transient-heavy environments | Select when tighter 2% tolerance outweighs derated power capability |
| MMSZ4V3T1G (ON Semiconductor) | 4.3 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, 90 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package | Larger footprint and looser tolerance reduce layout density and precision | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 5% VZ variation is acceptable |
Compared with BZX384-B4V3 and MMSZ4V3T1G, D3Z4V3BF-7 uniquely balances ±2.5% tolerance, 400 mW dissipation, and SOD323F miniaturization - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally managed, and automotive-qualified voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that D3Z4V3BF-7 can regulate without damage?
D3Z4V3BF-7 is rated for continuous Zener operation up to its specified 4.48 V maximum Zener voltage at 5 mA test current. Exceeding this voltage without current limiting risks thermal runaway; sustained operation requires series resistance to limit IZ within 400 mW derating limits per Figure 1.
Does D3Z4V3BF-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
D3Z4V3BF-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q200, Diodes confirms it meets all material, construction, and test requirements for AEC-Q200 Grade 3 (−40°C to +125°C), enabling customer-led qualification for automotive subsystems.
How does the -2.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit accuracy over temperature?
Over a 100°C span (−40°C to +60°C), the Zener voltage shifts by −250 mV, or ~5.8% of nominal 4.3 V. In precision applications, this drift must be compensated via circuit topology (e.g., complementary TC components) or calibrated out in firmware using known thermal coefficients.
Can D3Z4V3BF-7 be used in forward-bias mode like a standard diode?
Yes - D3Z4V3BF-7 exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, matching typical silicon diode behavior. However, its optimized doping profile prioritizes reverse breakdown characteristics; forward conduction is secondary and not characterized beyond VF specification.
