Product details
Overview
DFLZ30Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0 W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, with nominal Zener voltage 30 V (min 28 V, max 32 V), Zener impedance 8 Ω at 25 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage current 1 µA at 22 V. It delivers stable voltage regulation in automotive power supply rails and industrial overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ30Q-7 datasheet, DFLZ30Q-7 pinout, DFLZ30Q-7 application, or DFLZ30Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 110 °C/W thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient), -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range, and 9 °C/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance for high-reliability thermal design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp transient overvoltages and regulate reference voltages. Its patented interlocking clip design enables high-surge capacity per US Patent #7,095,113, and the exposed cathode pad supports direct PCB heat sinking.
Rated for 1.0 W dissipation on FR-4 with 2 oz. copper and 1" × 1" pad, it maintains regulation across -55 °C to +150 °C with a temperature coefficient of +0.06 %/°C to +0.11 %/°C - indicating positive drift over temperature, critical for precision biasing stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V nominal, 28–32 V range at IZT = 25 mA - defines clamping threshold under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous steady-state power handling with defined layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 8 Ω typical at IZT = 25 mA - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 22 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 110 °C/W - quantifies temperature rise above ambient per watt dissipated on standard board |
| Operating Temperature | -55 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - confirms reliability for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements |

Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Rail Clamp | Industrial PLC Analog Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppresses load-dump transients up to 40 V on 12 V battery-supplied microcontroller power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamping device placed between VCC and ground, conducting only during overvoltage events. Use Value: Limits rail excursion to ≤32 V, protecting 3.3 V/5 V logic supplies downstream via series current-limiting resistor. | Use Scenario: Guards 0–10 V analog input channels against field-wiring faults and ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased shunt regulator connected across input and ground, absorbing fault energy. Use Value: Maintains input node below 32 V during 1 kV ESD contact discharge, preventing op-amp saturation and ADC damage. |
| Telecom DC-DC Converter Reference Stabilization | Medical Infusion Pump Motor Driver Overvoltage Suppression |
Use Scenario: Provides stable 30 V reference for feedback loop in isolated flyback converter secondary-side regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision Zener used as voltage reference in optocoupler feedback network. Use Value: Delivers ±3.3% voltage tolerance and low 8 Ω dynamic impedance for tight output regulation (±1%) across line/load. | Use Scenario: Clamps inductive kickback from brushed DC motor driver H-bridge during rapid deceleration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor (with series diode) limiting back-EMF spikes to safe levels.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | 0.3 W rating, SOT-23 package, RθJA = 300 °C/W, ZZT = 40 Ω at 5 mA | Lower power, higher impedance - suitable only for signal-level biasing, not power rail clamping | Select when space-constrained and dissipation <300 mW; avoid for automotive load-dump scenarios. |
| 1N4745A | 1.0 W DO-41 through-hole, RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W (with heatsink), ZZT = 15 Ω at 21 mA | Through-hole mounting limits PCB density; requires manual assembly or wave soldering | Choose for legacy designs or where thermal mass from axial leads improves surge endurance. |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and 1N4745A, DFLZ30Q-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, surface-mount PowerDI123 thermal performance (RθJS = 9 °C/W), and 30 V regulation in a production-ready automotive package - making it optimal for high-volume, thermally demanding, and safety-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum surge current DFLZ30Q-7 can withstand?
DFLZ30Q-7 is designed with a patented interlocking clip structure (US Patent #7,095,113) enabling high-surge capacity. While no single peak current value is specified, its 1.0 W power rating, low RθJS (9 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification indicate suitability for automotive load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b) when used with appropriate series impedance.
Is DFLZ30Q-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. DFLZ30Q-7 features a matte tin annealed finish over copper leadframe, qualified for lead-free soldering per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Its PowerDI123 package supports JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, allowing standard Pb-free reflow without pre-bake.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
DFLZ30Q-7 has a temperature coefficient of +0.06 %/°C to +0.11 %/°C. Over a -40 °C to +125 °C range, this results in a total Zener voltage shift of approximately ±1.98 V - meaning regulation stays within 28.0 V to 31.98 V. This is acceptable for non-precision clamping but requires compensation in reference applications.
Can DFLZ30Q-7 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No. Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients at low voltages but positive ones above ~5.6 V - DFLZ30Q-7's +0.06–0.11 %/°C coefficient causes current hogging if paralleled. Uneven thermal coupling in PowerDI123 packages further exacerbates imbalance. Use a single appropriately rated device or consider active regulation instead.
