Product details
Overview
DDZ36Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 36 V, ±5.4% tolerance (35.36–37.19 V), 85 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 300 mW power dissipation rating at 25°C ambient - used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ36Q-7 datasheet, DDZ36Q-7 pinout, DDZ36Q-7 application, or DDZ36Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (425 °C/W on minimal pad layout), cathode-band polarity marking, SOD123 package compatibility with automated placement, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.07 %/°C near 36 V, enabling predictable drift behavior in temperature-sensitive references.
The SOD123 package features a single cathode-band-marked terminal pair, no internal series resistance, and is rated for operation from –65°C to +150°C junction temperature. It delivers stable regulation at IZT = 5 mA with <0.05 µA reverse leakage at 30 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.36–37.19 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 85 Ω max at 1 kHz - limits output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 294 mW at TA = 25°C on minimal pad layout - constrains usable current in compact PCB designs |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 30 V - ensures negligible quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 425 °C/W on minimal pad layout - dictates derating curve slope above 75°C ambient |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.07 %/°C - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in multi-device references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36LT1G | Same 36 V nominal rating but ±5% tolerance (34.2–37.8 V); 90 Ω ZZT; SOT-23 package | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (625 °C/W) limit power handling in dense layouts | Prefer when existing SOT-23 land pattern must be reused and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance; 100 Ω ZZT; SOD-123 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower cost but unqualified for automotive use; tighter RθJA spec (350 °C/W) only with enhanced pad layout | Choose for industrial consumer products where automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is high |
Compared with BZX84-C36LT1G and MMSZ5245B-TP, DDZ36Q-7 offers superior automotive qualification, tighter voltage tolerance, and guaranteed thermal performance on minimal PCB pads - making it optimal for space-constrained, mission-critical vehicle electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous zener current for DDZ36Q-7 at 75°C ambient?
At TA = 75°C, the maximum continuous zener current is 378 mA, derived from the 500 mW power rating (PD = 500 mW) divided by VZ = 36 V. This assumes adequate PCB copper area per Note 6 (RθJL = 132 °C/W) and excludes derating for pulse operation.
Does DDZ36Q-7 have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance specification is provided in the DS30407 datasheet for DDZ36Q-7. Figure 10 shows typical total capacitance for other devices in the series, but values for 36 V and above are not plotted; therefore, capacitance must be measured or estimated from layout parasitics in final design.
Can DDZ36Q-7 replace DDZ36 in non-automotive designs?
Yes - DDZ36Q-7 shares identical electrical characteristics and SOD123 packaging with DDZ36-7, differing only in AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF16949 manufacturing. The "Q" suffix denotes automotive grade; functionality is fully interchangeable in commercial applications.
What is the recommended solder profile for DDZ36Q-7?
DDZ36Q-7 complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D for moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles: peak temperature 260°C, time above 217°C ≤ 60 seconds, ramp rate ≤ 3°C/s. Matte tin annealed terminations ensure reliable wetting without pre-tinning.
