Product details
Overview
DDZX6V2B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 6.2 V (min 5.96 V, max 6.27 V), 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, and tight ±2% tolerance at IZT = 20 mA. It features very low leakage current (0.5 μA @ VR = 4.0 V), low zener impedance (7 Ω @ 1 kHz), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a stable voltage reference in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX6V2B-7 datasheet, DDZX6V2B-7 pinout, DDZX6V2B-7 application, or DDZX6V2B-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23 package details, real-world use cases in automotive and industrial power regulation, and validated alternative parts with documented differences in zener voltage tolerance and thermal performance.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable output voltage across a defined current range (1 mA to 20 mA). Its sharp breakdown characteristic and low dynamic impedance (7 Ω at 20 mA) ensure minimal voltage variation under load transients.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and exhibits low temperature coefficient (±0.05%/°C typical near 6.2 V), enabling stable operation from –65°C to +150°C ambient. The SOT23 package supports automated placement and provides thermal resistance of 417°C/W on standard FR-4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.96–6.27 V at IZT = 20 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback sensing |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating below 25°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω at f = 1 kHz - ensures low AC ripple rejection in reference paths |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA at VR = 4.0 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 417°C/W - determines junction temperature rise per milliwatt on standard layout |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic package with three terminals, 0.008 g weight, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and matte tin annealed terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased configuration; critical for polarity-sensitive PCB layout |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated output node; carries full zener current during regulation |
| No Connection (Pin 3) | Internal die attach flag | Electrically isolated; used for mechanical anchoring and thermal path - must not be connected in circuit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp breakdown | Enables accurate voltage clamping within ±0.15 V over 1–20 mA operating range |
| Tight VZ tolerance | ±2% at 20 mA eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in precision references |
| Low leakage current | 0.5 μA at 4 V allows use in microamp-level bias networks without significant error |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive power management systems requiring extended lifetime and thermal cycling robustness |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 2 and "Green" standards (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) for eco-conscious manufacturing |

FAQ
What is the maximum zener test current (IZT) for DDZX6V2B-7?
The maximum zener test current is 20 mA, specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This current establishes the nominal zener voltage (5.96–6.27 V) and is used to measure zener impedance (7 Ω). Operation beyond 20 mA requires thermal derating per Figure 1's power derating curve.
Does DDZX6V2B-7 have a cathode stripe marking on the SOT23 package?
Yes - the SOT23 package features a cathode stripe adjacent to Pin 2 (cathode terminal), consistent with Diodes Incorporated's standard marking convention. The top-view schematic in the datasheet confirms Pin 2 as cathode, and physical devices show a visible molded stripe aligned with that terminal.
Is DDZX6V2B-7 suitable for use in a 12 V automotive battery monitoring circuit?
Yes - its 6.2 V zener voltage enables direct use in resistive divider networks for 12 V rail monitoring. With AEC-Q101 qualification and operation up to +150°C, it withstands under-hood thermal stress while maintaining regulation accuracy within ±0.15 V across its specified current range.
How does the temperature coefficient of DDZX6V2B-7 compare to other 6.2 V Zeners?
DDZX6V2B-7 exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of ±0.05%/°C near 6.2 V (per Figure 16), significantly tighter than generic 6.2 V Zeners (often ±0.1%/°C). This results in <±3 mV drift over –40°C to +125°C, critical for high-accuracy reference applications.
