Product details
Overview
DDZ16BSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode in SOD323F package, delivering tightly regulated 15.25–16.04 V zener voltage at 10 mA test current, with 40 Ω max zener impedance and ±0.07 µA reverse leakage at 14.5 V, used for voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ16BSF-7 datasheet, DDZ16BSF-7 pinout, DDZ16BSF-7 application, or DDZ16BSF-7 equivalent, this part supports stable voltage regulation in compact DC-DC converters, analog sensor biasing circuits, and automotive body control modules where tight VZ tolerance and low thermal resistance (250 °C/W) are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 15.65 V (typical), specified at IZT = 10 mA and measured within 40 ms to minimize self-heating effects. Its temperature coefficient is approximately +5.5 mV/°C near 16 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
The device uses a planar epitaxial construction with cathode band marking, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly on FR-4 PCBs. It achieves 500 mW power dissipation under standard JEDEC mounting conditions (10 mm × 10 mm pad on 35 mm × 25 mm board) and meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for DDZ16BSF-7?
The DDZ16BSF-7 is rated for 500 mW power dissipation when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad on a 35 mm × 25 mm board. Derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient, reaching zero at +150°C per the published power derating curve.
Does DDZ16BSF-7 have automotive qualification?
DDZ16BSF-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101 out-of-box, Diodes Incorporated confirms it meets all AEC-Q101 stress test requirements-including HTGB, TCT, and H3TRB-when tested per customer request.
How is the cathode identified on the SOD323F package?
The cathode is marked by a visible band on the top surface of the SOD323F package, aligned with one end of the rectangular body. In top view, the band corresponds to the cathode terminal; the opposite end is the anode. This matches JEDEC-standard SOD323F pin orientation.
Can DDZ16BSF-7 replace older DDZ16ASF variants in existing designs?
Yes-DDZ16BSF-7 replaces DDZ16ASF with improved VZ tolerance (±2.5% vs. ±3.5%) and identical SOD323F package, pinout, and thermal characteristics. No layout or schematic changes are needed; only update the bill of materials and verify performance under worst-case temperature and current conditions.
