Product details
Overview
DDZ6V2B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode engineered for voltage regulation and reference applications in low-power analog circuits. It delivers a tightly controlled zener voltage of 5.96–6.27 V at 20 mA test current, with low dynamic impedance (7 Ω at 1 kHz), low temperature coefficient (±0.04 %/°C typical), and operates across –65 to +150 °C. It is commonly used in power supply feedback loops, ADC reference buffers, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ6V2B-7 datasheet, DDZ6V2B-7 pinout, DDZ6V2B-7 application, or DDZ6V2B-7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, SOD123 package details, thermal derating behavior, reverse leakage performance at 4.0 V, and validated automotive-grade alternatives for design-in assurance.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage centered at 6.12 V (midpoint of 5.96–6.27 V range) and exhibits low knee impedance (150 Ω at 1 mA), enabling stable regulation under light-load conditions. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 425 °C/W on minimal pad layout and 266 °C/W on 1-in² copper, directly impacting power handling in compact PCB designs.
The device uses an alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin annealed finish, rated for solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and complies with RoHS 3, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements. Moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1 - suitable for standard reflow without baking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V2 (Nexperia) | Same SOD123 package; looser 5% tolerance (5.89–6.51 V); higher ZZT = 10 Ω; 350 mW PD. | Acceptable where ±5% regulation suffices; not recommended for precision feedback loops. | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where calibration is performed downstream. |
| MMSZ4687 (ON Semiconductor) | SOD123; tighter 5% tolerance but asymmetric range (5.89–6.31 V); ZZT = 10 Ω; 500 mW PD at TL = 75°C. | Better power handling, but higher impedance limits high-frequency regulation fidelity. | Prefer for higher ambient temperature environments (>85°C) where thermal margin is critical. |
Compared with BZX84-C6V2 and MMSZ4687, DDZ6V2B-7 offers superior voltage tightness (±2.6% vs. ±5%), lower impedance (7 Ω vs. ≥10 Ω), and guaranteed low-leakage performance (0.5 µA @ 4 V), making it optimal for precision analog and automotive-compliant designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DDZ6V2B-7 at 75°C board temperature?
At TL = +75°C, DDZ6V2B-7 supports 500 mW continuous power dissipation, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes direct thermal coupling to a 75°C heatsink or board trace, and exceeds its 294 mW rating at 25°C ambient with minimal copper area.
Does DDZ6V2B-7 have automotive qualification?
DDZ6V2B-7 itself is the commercial-grade part. The automotive-qualified version is DDZ6V2BQ-7, which is AEC-Q101 certified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities - identical electrical specs but with enhanced process controls and traceability.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C?
Based on Figure 16, DDZ6V2B's TC is approximately +0.04 %/°C near 6.2 V. Over a 165°C span, this yields ~6.6 mV/°C × 165°C ≈ ±1.1 V drift - meaning regulation stays within 5.96–6.27 V at 25°C, but may shift to ~5.8–6.4 V across full temperature range without compensation.
Can DDZ6V2B-7 replace a 6.2 V Zener in a TL431-based shunt regulator?
Yes - DDZ6V2B-7 serves as a direct replacement for the Zener element in TL431 feedback networks. Its low 7 Ω impedance improves loop stability versus higher-Z Zeners, and its tight tolerance reduces output voltage variation without adjusting resistor ratios.
