Product details
Overview
DFLZ11-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, providing precise 11V nominal zener voltage (10.4–11.6V range) at 50mA test current, with 7Ω typical zener impedance and ±0.05%/°C to +0.10%/°C temperature coefficient - used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ11-7 datasheet, DFLZ11-7 pinout, DFLZ11-7 application, or DFLZ11-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1W FR-4 PCB power dissipation rating, cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-qualified reliability, automotive-grade variant availability (DFLZ11Q), and thermal resistance of 9°C/W junction-to-soldering-point.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 1W power rating is validated on 1.5"×1.5" FR-4 PCB with 2 oz. copper and 1"×1" pad layout, and it exhibits low thermal resistance (RθJS = 9°C/W) for efficient heat transfer to the PCB cathode tab.
The device features a matte tin-annealed copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 molded plastic package, and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1. It is RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free ("Green"), and qualified to AEC-Q standards for high-reliability applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V nominal, 10.4–11.6 V range at IZT = 50 mA - ensures tight regulation tolerance in feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W on FR-4 PCB - supports robust operation in space-constrained industrial power supplies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω typical at IZT = 50 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9 °C/W junction-to-soldering-point - enables direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for stability |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 4 µA max at VR = 8.2 V - ensures low leakage in standby-mode voltage references |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.05 to +0.10 %/°C - provides predictable, positive drift for compensation-aware designs |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction threshold when used bidirectionally or in clamp configurations |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI123 - surface-mount, single-ended, cathode-band marked case with exposed cathode tab for thermal and electrical connection. Dimensions: 3.70 mm × 1.78 mm × 1.00 mm (E × D × A), weight ≈ 0.01 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to PCB trace or ground plane | Low-inductance path for forward conduction; not electrically isolated from package body |
| Cathode (Band-marked) | Current exit terminal in reverse breakdown; tied to regulated node | Exposed metal tab serves as primary thermal sink and low-impedance return path to PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1W power handling on standard FR-4 | Enables use in cost-sensitive industrial PCBs without heatsinks or thermal vias |
| Cathode-tab thermal path (RθJS = 9°C/W) | Reduces junction temperature rise by >30% vs. conventional SOD-123 packages under same load |
| AEC-Q qualified reliability | Validated for extended life in automotive subsystems (e.g., body control modules) per JEDEC stress protocols |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for RoHS 3 and ELV compliance |
| Lead-free, matte tin annealed terminations | Ensures consistent solder wetting and intermetallic formation across reflow profiles (J-STD-020 Level 1) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C11 (ON Semiconductor) | 350 mW SOT-23 package; 15 Ω ZZT; RθJA = 300°C/W | Limited to low-power signal-level references; unsuitable for >100 mA load regulation | Select when board space is critical and power < 0.35W; avoid for power rail stabilization |
| MMSZ5240B (Vishay) | 500 mW SOD-123; 20 Ω ZZT; no AEC-Q qualification; RθJS = 15°C/W | Lower thermal performance and reliability grade; not rated for automotive under-hood use | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer power adapters where cost dominates thermal margin |
Compared with BZX84-C11 and MMSZ5240B, DFLZ11-7 delivers 2.8× higher power density, 65% lower zener impedance, and certified automotive reliability - making it the only choice for thermally constrained, high-stability 11V regulation in industrial and automotive systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the DFLZ11-7 can sustain at 85°C ambient?
At TA = 85°C, derated power is 0.64W (per Figure 1). With VZ ≈ 11V, maximum sustainable reverse current is ~58 mA. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to positive TC above 6V; design must include adequate PCB copper area and airflow.
Can DFLZ11-7 be used in place of DFLZ11Q in non-automotive applications?
Yes - DFLZ11-7 shares identical electrical specs, package, and marking with DFLZ11Q, except DFLZ11Q undergoes additional AEC-Q200 stress testing (temperature cycling, HAST, mechanical shock). For industrial or commercial use, DFLZ11-7 is fully functionally equivalent and cost-optimized.
How does the cathode-tab construction affect PCB layout requirements?
The exposed cathode tab requires a minimum 1"×1" 2 oz. copper pad connected to ground or low-impedance return plane. Thermal vias (≥4×0.3mm) beneath the tab are recommended for >500 mW continuous operation to maintain TJ < 125°C per JEDEC JESD51-2.
Is the DFLZ11-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020?
Yes - it is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C (10 sec max), with moisture sensitivity Level 1. Matte tin annealed terminations ensure reliable solder joint formation across standard SnAgCu profiles without dewetting or voiding.
