Product details
Overview
DDZ9688Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount, low-current Zener diode in SOD123 package with nominal zener voltage 4.7 V (±5% tolerance), 50 µA test current, and 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C on FR-4 PCB. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade change control, and is optimized for precision voltage reference in battery-powered sensor nodes and low-power microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9688Q-7 datasheet, DDZ9688Q-7 pinout, DDZ9688Q-7 application, or DDZ9688Q-7 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-leakage (5 µA @ VR = 3 V), RoHS-compliant, halogen-free voltage clamp for automotive body electronics, portable instrumentation, and I/O protection in industrial controllers.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled zener voltage (4.47–4.94 V) at 50 µA, enabling accurate voltage regulation under minimal bias. Its low thermal resistance (RθJL = 150 °C/W) supports stable operation in thermally constrained automotive modules.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +0.04 %/°C near 4.7 V, minimizing drift across –65 to +150 °C operating range. Its SOD123 package enables automated placement and reflow compatibility while maintaining robust moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V7-7-F | Same 4.7 V nominal, but rated at 300 mW PD, higher RθJA (450 °C/W), non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and MSL 1 rating - unsuitable for under-hood deployment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and thermal margin exceeds 100 °C/W |
| MMSZ4700T1G | 4.7 V nominal, 500 mW rating, but 10 µA leakage at VR = 3 V and no AEC-Q101 certification | Higher leakage increases battery drain in always-on wearables by >100% | Prefer only for non-automotive industrial controls where leakage <5 µA is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C4V7-7-F and MMSZ4700T1G, DDZ9688Q-7 delivers lower leakage, tighter VZ tolerance, and full automotive qualification - making it the sole choice for safety-critical, thermally constrained, or long-life battery applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9688Q-7 guarantees ≤5 µA leakage?
DDZ9688Q-7 guarantees ≤5 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 3 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured under standard conditions (TA = +25°C) using short-duration pulse testing to minimize self-heating effects.
Is DDZ9688Q-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - DDZ9688Q-7 uses matte tin-annealed terminals and is rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and withstand standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 30 sec max) without baking.
Does the "Q" suffix indicate AEC-Q101 qualification for the entire DDZ9688Q-7 tape-and-reel reel?
Yes - the "Q" suffix denotes full AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and production in IATF 16949-certified facilities. Every unit in the -7 (3,000-piece tape-and-reel) packaging meets automotive change control and lot traceability requirements.
Can DDZ9688Q-7 replace DDZ9688-7 in non-automotive designs?
Yes - DDZ9688Q-7 shares identical electrical characteristics and SOD123 mechanical form factor with DDZ9688-7. The "Q" variant adds automotive qualification but retains full functional and pinout compatibility, making it a drop-in upgrade for enhanced reliability.
