Product details
Overview
DDZ16CSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode in SOD323F package, delivering a nominal zener voltage of 15.69–16.51 V at 10 mA test current, with 0.07 µA maximum reverse leakage at 14.9 V and 50 Ω typical zener impedance at 1 kHz. It serves as a stable voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ16CSF-7 datasheet, DDZ16CSF-7 pinout, DDZ16CSF-7 application, or DDZ16CSF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight VZ tolerance (±2.6% at 15.69–16.51 V), low thermal resistance (250 °C/W), automotive-grade process qualification, and SOD323F footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain precise DC voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 10 mA zener test current and 50 Ω dynamic impedance ensure stable regulation across ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C.
The device uses a silicon planar junction structure with cathode band marking, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Its 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is measured on FR-4 PCB with 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZ16CSF-7 on a standard PCB?
DDZ16CSF-7 is rated for 500 mW continuous power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 PCB with a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad and board dimensions of 35 mm × 25 mm. Derating begins above +70 °C ambient per the published power derating curve, reaching zero dissipation at +150 °C ambient.
Does DDZ16CSF-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
DDZ16CSF-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q200 in this specific part number listing, its process flow and material set align with automotive change control requirements-customers requiring formal AEC-Q200 certification should contact Diodes Incorporated directly for qualified variants.
How is the cathode terminal identified on the SOD323F package?
The cathode terminal of DDZ16CSF-7 is marked by a visible band on the top surface of the SOD323F package. This band corresponds to the cathode pin in the top-view mechanical drawing and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in reverse-bias Zener operation.
What is the typical zener impedance and why does it matter for reference stability?
DDZ16CSF-7 has a typical zener impedance of 40 Ω at 1 kHz and 10 mA test current. This low dynamic resistance minimizes output voltage variation under changing load currents-critical for maintaining ADC reference accuracy or clamping effectiveness during transient events in power rails.
