Product details
Overview
DDZ6V8BSF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 0.5W surface-mount Zener diode in SOD323F package, delivering tightly regulated 6.49–6.83V zener voltage at 20mA test current, with 30Ω dynamic impedance and ≤7.5µA reverse leakage at 4V, widely used for voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ6V8BSF-7 datasheet, DDZ6V8BSF-7 pinout, DDZ6V8BSF-7 application, or DDZ6V8BSF-7 equivalent, this part supports stable voltage regulation in compact DC-DC converters, analog sensor biasing circuits, and automotive body control modules requiring AEC-Q200-aligned reliability and RoHS-compliant assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its 30Ω zener impedance at 20mA ensures minimal output variation under load transients, while the −65°C to +150°C operating range supports industrial and automotive ambient conditions.
The device uses a silicon planar epitaxial structure with cathode band marking, optimized for low thermal resistance (250°C/W) on FR-4 PCBs. Its tight 5% VZ tolerance (6.49–6.83V) and low temperature coefficient (<±5.5 mV/°C near 6.8V) enable high-accuracy regulation without external trimming.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V8 (Nexperia) | Same 6.8V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (6.46–7.14V); 40Ω ZZT; SOT-23 package (larger footprint) | Larger thermal resistance (350°C/W) requires larger PCB copper area for same power handling | Select when legacy SOT-23 layout exists and tighter tolerance is not required |
| MMSZ4687 (ON Semiconductor) | 6.8V nominal, ±5% tolerance; 30Ω ZZT; SOD-123 package (1.8×1.4mm vs. SOD323F's 1.25×1.7mm) | Higher RθJA (300°C/W); no AEC-Q200 qualification stated in datasheet | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C6V8 and MMSZ4687, DDZ6V8BSF-7 offers superior voltage accuracy, lower thermal resistance, and explicit AEC-Q200 alignment-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive and industrial voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for DDZ6V8BSF-7 at 25°C?
The device is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient. With a nominal Zener voltage of 6.66 V (midpoint of 6.49–6.83 V), the maximum continuous Zener current is approximately 75 mA (500 mW ÷ 6.66 V). Derating applies above 25°C per the published power derating curve.
Does DDZ6V8BSF-7 meet AEC-Q200 requirements?
Yes - Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that parts qualified to AEC-Q200 (and other AEC standards) are available upon request, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, and PPAP-capable. DDZ6V8BSF-7 falls within the DDZ2V4ASF–DDZ39DSF family covered by this qualification pathway.
How is polarity identified on the SOD323F package?
Polarity is indicated by a cathode band printed on the package surface, located adjacent to the cathode terminal. In top-view orientation, the band aligns with the shorter lead side; the anode is the opposite terminal. This matches standard SOD323F mechanical drawings and Diodes' marking convention.
Can DDZ6V8BSF-7 be used in place of a 6.8V Zener with looser tolerance?
Yes - its tighter 6.49–6.83V range (±2.5%) improves regulation accuracy over generic 6.8V Zeners with ±5% tolerance. However, circuit stability must be verified due to its lower 30Ω impedance, which may affect loop compensation in feedback networks originally designed for higher-impedance references.
