Product details
Overview
DFLZ10Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 10 V, 1.0 W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, rated for 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 7.5 V, with 1 Ω typical Zener impedance at 100 mA test current and ±0.05 to +0.09 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation in automotive engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ10Q-7 datasheet, DFLZ10Q-7 pinout, DFLZ10Q-7 application, or DFLZ10Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±6%), thermal resistance junction-to-solder point (9 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and 1000 V surge capability enabled by patented interlocking clip design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low RθJS (9 °C/W) and exposed thermal pad enable reliable 1 W dissipation on FR-4 PCBs with 1" × 1" copper pad.
The device features a cathode-band polarity marking, matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. It exhibits 10 V nominal Zener voltage at 100 mA (IZT), with 1 Ω typical dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 5 µA max reverse current (IR) at 7.5 V (VR).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V nominal, 9.4–10.6 V range at 100 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance for feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W on FR-4 PCB - supports sustained regulation in compact automotive modules without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1 Ω typical at 100 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under dynamic load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at 7.5 V - guarantees low quiescent current in always-on voltage monitor circuits. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.05 to +0.09 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in engine bay environments up to +125°C ambient. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9 °C/W junction-to-solder point - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for efficient heat extraction. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI123 - molded green compound, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.01 g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1. Exposed cathode tab serves as primary thermal and electrical path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / thermal pad | Marked with band; soldered to large copper area for heat dissipation and low-inductance return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented interlocking clip | Enables 1000 V surge withstand per AEC-Q101 transient test, critical for 12 V automotive load-dump protection. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature with PPAP support. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" | Meets EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) with Br+Cl <1500 ppm and Sb <1000 ppm - required for Tier-1 automotive sourcing. |
| Low RθJS (9 °C/W) | Reduces thermal derating: full 1 W usable up to +100°C ambient on standard 2 oz. FR-4, simplifying thermal design. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Reference | ADAS Camera Power Rail Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C10LT1G | 0.3 W rating, SOT-23 package, 20 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to low-power consumer electronics; unsuitable for automotive surge or thermal stress | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 100 mA surge current is never expected. |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | 0.5 W, SOD-123, 17 Ω ZZT, ±5% VZ tolerance, no interlocking clip | Lower surge immunity; requires additional TVS for ISO 7637-2 compliance | Acceptable for industrial controls with controlled environment, but not for under-hood automotive use. |
Compared with BZX84-C10LT1G and MMSZ5240B-TP, DFLZ10Q-7 delivers 3.3× higher power handling, 17× lower Zener impedance, and certified AEC-Q101 reliability - making it the sole choice for production automotive voltage regulation where thermal stability and surge survivability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum surge current DFLZ10Q-7 can withstand?
DFLZ10Q-7 is rated for 1000 V surge per AEC-Q101 transient test methodology, enabled by its patented interlocking clip structure. This corresponds to peak surge currents exceeding 10 A for 100 µs pulses when mounted on a 1" × 1" 2 oz. copper pad - validated in Diodes' internal load-dump simulation per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a.
Does DFLZ10Q-7 require a heatsink for 1 W operation?
No external heatsink is required. With RθJS = 9 °C/W and proper PCB layout (1" × 1" 2 oz. copper pad), DFLZ10Q-7 maintains junction temperature below 150°C at full 1 W dissipation up to +100°C ambient. Derating begins linearly above that ambient per Figure 1 in DS36898 Rev. 3-2.
How does the Zener voltage tolerance affect feedback loop accuracy?
The ±6% VZ tolerance (9.4–10.6 V) directly propagates into resistor-divider-based feedback networks. For a 3.3 V output using 10 V reference, this introduces ±0.2 V output variation - mitigated by using tighter-tolerance external resistors or closed-loop compensation in the controller IC.
Can DFLZ10Q-7 be used in place of a 1N4740A?
No - DFLZ10Q-7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4740A. While both are 10 V Zeners, DFLZ10Q-7 uses PowerDI123 package with exposed cathode thermal pad and AEC-Q101 qualification, whereas 1N4740A is DO-41 through-hole with 1 W rating but no automotive qualification or low RθJS. PCB layout and reliability requirements differ fundamentally.
