Product details
Overview
DFLZ22-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, providing precise 22V nominal Zener voltage (20.8–23.3V range) at 25mA test current, with 15Ω maximum Zener impedance and ±0.06%/°C temperature coefficient - used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ22-7 datasheet, DFLZ22-7 pinout, DFLZ22-7 application, or DFLZ22-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1W FR-4 power dissipation capability, automotive-qualified variant availability (DFLZ22Q), JEDEC high-reliability qualification, and cathode-band polarity marking for unambiguous PCB orientation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 22V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 25mA, with low dynamic impedance (≤15Ω) ensuring minimal output voltage deviation during transient current changes.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 110°C/W on standard FR-4 (1.5"×1.5", 2 oz Cu), and RθJS = 9°C/W to soldering point - enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature when properly mounted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22V nominal, 20.8–23.3V min/max at IZT = 25mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance in feedback or clamp circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W on FR-4 PCB - supports sustained regulation in compact industrial power stages without active cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤15Ω max at IZT = 25mA - ensures tight voltage regulation under dynamic load steps. |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.06%/°C - enables predictable VZ drift across -55°C to +150°C operating range. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1µA at VR = 16V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on protection circuits. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2V at IF = 200mA - relevant for series-connected forward-bias applications or ESD path analysis. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI123 - surface-mount, single-ended, cathode-band marked case with matte tin–annealed copper leadframe; UL 94V-0 molded plastic body; 0.01g mass; moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener regulation. | Electrically tied to leadframe tab; requires thermal pad connection for optimal power handling. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to higher-potential node in Zener regulation. | Marked by visible band; functions as regulated output node in shunt regulator configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22-7 | 0.3W SOT-23 package; 22V ±5%; ZZT ≤ 50Ω; RθJA ≈ 300°C/W. | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100mA regulation loads. | Select when board space is constrained and power <300mW; avoid for power rail stabilization. |
| 1N4748A-T | 1W DO-41 through-hole; 22V ±5%; ZZT ≤ 23Ω; no automotive qualification. | Requires wave-soldering; incompatible with fully SMT production; lacks AEC-Q validation. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required. |
Compared with BZX84-C22-7 and 1N4748A-T, DFLZ22-7 uniquely combines 1W SMT power handling, automotive-grade reliability, and tight 22V tolerance in PowerDI123 - making it optimal for production-grade industrial and automotive power management where thermal robustness and assembly scalability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the DFLZ22-7 can handle before thermal runaway?
DFLZ22-7 is rated for 1.0W dissipation at 25°C ambient. At 22V Zener voltage, this corresponds to ~45.5mA average reverse current. Derating applies above 25°C per Figure 1: at 70°C ambient, max safe current drops to ~27mA. Exceeding these limits risks exceeding 150°C junction temperature and irreversible degradation.
Does the DFLZ22-7 require a heatsink on standard FR-4 PCB?
No external heatsink is required. The PowerDI123 package achieves RθJA = 110°C/W on a 1.5"×1.5", 2 oz Cu FR-4 board with 1"×1" thermal pad - sufficient for full 1W operation at ≤50°C ambient. For >50°C environments, increasing copper area or adding internal planes improves thermal margin.
How does the DFLZ22-7 differ from the automotive-grade DFLZ22Q-7?
DFLZ22Q-7 undergoes additional AEC-Q200 stress testing (temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock) and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. Electrically identical, but DFLZ22Q-7 carries automotive PPAP documentation and lot-level traceability - mandatory for Tier 1 automotive suppliers.
Can the DFLZ22-7 be used in series or parallel configurations for higher voltage or current handling?
Series connection is viable for higher voltage references (e.g., two DFLZ22-7 yield ~44V), but mismatched Zener impedances cause uneven voltage division. Parallel use is strongly discouraged - minor VZ variations cause current hogging and thermal instability. Use single-device configuration or dedicated high-power Zeners instead.
