Product details
Overview
DDZ9711-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount low-current Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 27 V, ±5% tolerance (25.65–28.35 V), 500 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at TL = +75°C, and specified test current of 50 µA - optimized for low-bias, battery-powered voltage reference and regulation in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DDZ9711-7 datasheet, DDZ9711-7 pinout, DDZ9711-7 application, or DDZ9711-7 equivalent, this device serves as a precision, low-leakage (≤50 nA @ VR = 20.4 V) voltage clamp in power supply feedback paths, analog sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection circuits where SOD123 footprint and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 27 V nominal zener voltage falls within the positive temperature coefficient range (+0.08 %/°C typical per Fig. 19), minimizing drift in mid-to-high voltage reference designs.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on standard FR-4 PCBs, it delivers 500 mW dissipation with RθJA = 340 °C/W and RθJL = 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature. The cathode band marking and SOD123 package ensure unambiguous polarity and automated placement compatibility.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G | Same 27 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance at IZT = 5 mA; higher test current increases dynamic impedance (Zzt ≈ 80 Ω vs. DDZ9711's ~300 Ω at 50 µA). | Requires higher bias current; less suitable for nanoamp-sensor biasing but better for moderate-load regulation. | Select when circuit can support ≥5 mA Zener current and lower dynamic impedance is prioritized over quiescent power. |
| MMSZ4683T1G | 27 V nominal, ±5% at IZT = 1 mA; Zzt ≈ 120 Ω; slightly higher IR (≤100 nA @ VR = 20.4 V) than DDZ9711. | Higher leakage and test current reduce suitability for ultra-low-power systems but improve noise immunity in noisy environments. | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 1 mA bias is acceptable and tighter Zzt tolerance matters more than leakage. |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMSZ4683T1G, DDZ9711-7 uniquely balances ultra-low leakage (≤50 nA), low test current (50 µA), and SOD123 reliability - making it optimal for battery-constrained, high-precision voltage referencing where minimal quiescent draw is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which DDZ9711-7 guarantees ≤50 nA leakage?
Per the Electrical Characteristics table, DDZ9711-7 guarantees ≤50 nA reverse leakage current at VR = 20.4 V - 75% of its nominal 27 V zener voltage. This value is specified under standard test conditions (TA = +25°C) and reflects the device's capability to hold off voltage below breakdown with negligible current draw.
Can DDZ9711-7 be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode in a feedback divider?
No - DDZ9711-7 is a fixed 27 V nominal device with a minimum zener voltage of 25.65 V. Substituting it for a 24 V Zener would raise the regulated output voltage by ~3 V, potentially exceeding IC absolute maximum ratings. Use DDZ9709 (24 V) or DDZ9708 (22 V) for lower-voltage alternatives in the same family.
Is the SOD123 package of DDZ9711-7 compatible with reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes - the device uses matte tin–annealed terminals qualified per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is rated for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak temperature ≤260°C). Its UL 94V-0 mold compound and thermal resistance values have been validated for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant processes.
Does DDZ9711-7 have automotive qualification?
The base DDZ9711-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the automotive-grade variant DDZ9711Q-7 is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. For automotive applications, specify the "Q" suffix part number to ensure compliance.
