Product details
Overview
DDZ14Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 14.0 V (13.65–14.35 V range), 10 mA test current, 16 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 kHz, 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at 11.0 V, and SOD123 package. It delivers tight voltage regulation in low-power reference and protection circuits for industrial power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ14Q-7 datasheet, DDZ14Q-7 pinout, DDZ14Q-7 application, or DDZ14Q-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, temperature coefficient data, automotive-grade qualification status (AEC-Q101), and real-world use context for stable voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and temperature conditions. Its 14.0 V nominal zener voltage falls in the medium-voltage range where temperature coefficient crosses zero - confirmed at +0.02 %/°C per Figure 17 - enabling improved thermal stability versus lower- or higher-voltage Zeners.
The SOD123 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering, with thermal resistance of 425 °C/W (minimum pad layout) and 266 °C/W (1-in² copper pad), directly impacting power handling in compact PCB layouts. It is rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating temperature and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive underhood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13.65–14.35 V at IZT = 10 mA - defines usable regulation window for 14 V reference designs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω max at f = 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 11.0 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-backed circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 294 mW at TA = 25°C (min pad layout) - sets absolute max continuous power before thermal shutdown |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.02 %/°C near 14 V - indicates near-zero drift point, critical for precision analog references |
| Package | SOD123 - 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm × 1.05 mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB assembly |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for automotive applications including engine control and ADAS power rails |
Pinout & Package
SOD123 is a two-terminal surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a band on the body. Terminals are matte tin-annealed over Alloy 42 leadframe, fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lowest potential node in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulated output node | Connected to input supply via series resistor; maintains stable 14 V at this node under reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tight VZ tolerance | ±2.5% (13.65–14.35 V) at 10 mA - reduces need for post-production trimming in voltage reference circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C15LT1G | 15.0 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 30 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher voltage, looser tolerance, higher impedance - less suitable for precision 14 V references | Select only if board space permits SOT-23 and ±5% regulation is acceptable |
| MMSZ5241B-TP | 14.0 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 25 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package | Same package but wider VZ tolerance and higher impedance - reduced thermal stability margin | Acceptable for non-critical biasing where cost is prioritized over regulation accuracy |
Compared with DDZ14Q-7, BZX84-C15LT1G shifts regulation point upward and sacrifices precision, while MMSZ5241B-TP retains the same package but trades tighter voltage control for lower cost - making DDZ14Q-7 optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-stability 14 V reference needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of DDZ14Q-7 at 75°C ambient?
At TL = +75°C, DDZ14Q-7 supports 500 mW power dissipation per the datasheet's Note 6. This rating assumes direct thermal coupling to a heatsink or thermally enhanced PCB land pattern - not standard FR-4 with minimal copper. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm linear reduction to ~300 mW at 75°C for typical board mounting.
Is DDZ14Q-7 suitable for use in a 12 V automotive system with load dump protection?
Yes - DDZ14Q-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65°C to +150°C. Its 14.0 V zener voltage provides effective clamping above nominal 12 V bus, and its 0.05 µA leakage at 11.0 V ensures negligible loading during normal operation. It must be paired with an appropriate series current-limiting resistor to handle transient energy.
How does the temperature coefficient of DDZ14Q-7 compare to lower-voltage Zeners like DDZ5V1B?
DDZ14Q-7 exhibits +0.02 %/°C temperature coefficient near its nominal voltage, placing it near the zero-TC crossover point shown in Figure 17. In contrast, DDZ5V1B has -0.06 %/°C (Figure 16), indicating stronger negative drift. This makes DDZ14Q-7 inherently more stable over temperature than sub-10 V Zeners in precision reference roles.
Can DDZ14Q-7 be used in place of DDZ14B-7?
No - DDZ14Q-7 is the automotive-qualified variant (AEC-Q101, PPAP-capable, IATF16949 manufactured), whereas DDZ14B-7 is commercial grade. Both share identical electrical specs and SOD123 packaging, but DDZ14Q-7 includes change control, extended reliability testing, and full automotive documentation required for Tier 1 supply chains.
