Product details
Overview
DFLZ33-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, providing precise 33V nominal zener voltage (±3.0V tolerance) at 25mA test current, with 5Ω maximum zener impedance and 24µA maximum reverse leakage at 25.4V, used for overvoltage protection and voltage regulation in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ33-7 datasheet, DFLZ33-7 pinout, DFLZ33-7 application, or DFLZ33-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (9°C/W junction-to-solder point), power derating above +25°C, and automotive-grade reliability qualification per AEC-Q standards.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp transient overvoltages and stabilize reference voltages. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.06%/°C and maintains stable regulation across -55°C to +150°C operating range.
Designed for high-reliability PCB mounting, it delivers 1.0W dissipation on FR-4 with 2 oz. copper and specified pad layout, and features matte tin-annealed terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33V nominal, 31–35V min/max at IZT = 25mA - defines clamping threshold for protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous steady-state energy handling on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤5Ω max at IZT = 25mA - ensures low dynamic resistance for tight regulation under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤24µA at VR = 25.4V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby voltage-reference applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9°C/W - enables accurate thermal modeling from die to solder joint for reliability prediction |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.06%/°C - quantifies zener voltage drift with ambient temperature change |

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-C33-7 | 0.3W SOT-23 package; 30–36V VZ range; 90Ω ZZT; RθJA = 350°C/W | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 1W+ rail protection | Select when board space is critical and power stress is <300mW |
| 1N5355B | 5W DO-41 through-hole; 32–34V VZ; 1Ω ZZT; requires manual soldering and larger footprint | Used in legacy designs or high-energy transient environments where 1W is insufficient | Select when system-level surge energy exceeds 1.5J and thermal mass must be maximized |
Compared with BZX84-C33-7 and 1N5355B, DFLZ33-7 uniquely balances 1W surface-mount capability, low 5Ω impedance, and AEC-Q qualification-making it optimal for modern automotive and industrial PCBs requiring reliable, solder-reflow-compatible voltage clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage DFLZ33-7 can withstand before breakdown?
DFLZ33-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 33V with a guaranteed range of 31V to 35V at 25mA test current. Its reverse breakdown occurs within this range; operation above 35V under sustained DC conditions risks exceeding its 1.0W power limit and thermal failure. The device is not rated for repetitive avalanche beyond datasheet-specified pulse conditions.
Does DFLZ33-7 require a series current-limiting resistor in typical applications?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit forward current during zener conduction and prevent thermal runaway. For example, at 48V rail clamping, a minimum 620Ω resistor limits worst-case current to ~24mA, keeping power dissipation within the 1.0W rating even at elevated ambient temperatures.
Is DFLZ33-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - DFLZ33-7 uses matte tin-annealed terminals and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020, peak 260°C). Its PowerDI123 package withstands three reflow cycles without degradation, and moisture sensitivity level is rated at Level 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
How does the +0.06%/°C temperature coefficient affect long-term voltage stability?
Over a -40°C to +125°C range, the coefficient causes approximately ±1.0% total zener voltage shift relative to 25°C value - i.e., 33V shifts by ±0.33V. This is acceptable for non-precision clamping but insufficient for metrology-grade references; designers should include margin in overvoltage thresholds accordingly.
