Product details
Overview
DFLZ39Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, rated for 39V nominal Zener voltage (37–41V range) at 1mA test current, with 5Ω typical Zener impedance and ±0.06%/°C temperature coefficient. It delivers stable voltage regulation in automotive power supply rails and industrial overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ39Q-7 datasheet, DFLZ39Q-7 pinout, DFLZ39Q-7 application, or DFLZ39Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 110°C/W thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient), 9°C/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance, and 1.2V forward voltage at 200mA - critical for low-loss clamping and precision reference designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain a stable 39V reference under regulated current conditions. Its design integrates a large exposed cathode pad and patented interlocking clip structure (US Patent #7,095,113) to sustain high surge currents while minimizing thermal resistance.
The device is optimized for FR-4 PCB mounting with 2 oz. copper and 1" × 1" thermal pad layout, achieving 1.0W continuous power dissipation at +25°C ambient. Its halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and AEC-Q101 reliability requirements for automotive electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V nominal (37–41 V range @ IZT = 1 mA); defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W on FR-4 PCB; enables compact, board-level regulation without external heatsink |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω typical @ IZT = 1 mA; ensures minimal voltage deviation under dynamic load changes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 110 °C/W; determines maximum allowable ambient temperature before derating begins |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.06 %/°C; guarantees low drift across -55°C to +150°C operating range |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V @ IF = 200 mA; supports bidirectional transient suppression when used with series components |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA @ VR = 30 V; ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI®123 - molded green plastic case (UL 94V-0), 0.01 g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. Cathode identified by band marking; terminals are matte tin annealed over copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node during clamping | Enables standard diode conduction path for ESD or surge events below Zener threshold |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; Zener breakdown terminal in reverse bias | Large exposed pad serves as primary thermal path to PCB; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 1W operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge testing per JEDEC standards |
| Patented interlocking clip | US Patent #7,095,113 structure increases surge current handling beyond standard Zener limits |
| Exposed cathode thermal pad | Reduces RθJS to 9°C/W - critical for maintaining junction temperature below 150°C in dense layouts |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl (<1500 ppm total Br+Cl), <1000 ppm Sb - compliant with global environmental directives |
| Lead-free, RoHS 3 compliant | Conforms to EU Directive 2015/863/EU with all applicable exemptions applied |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C39LT1G | 39V nominal, 300mW rating, SOT-23 package, 60Ω ZZT | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 1W automotive transients | Select only for space-constrained, non-AEC-Q101 signal conditioning where thermal margin is not required |
| MMSZ5257ET1G | 39V nominal, 500mW rating, SOD-123 package, 100Ω ZZT | Higher impedance and lower surge capability; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls with derated ambient and no PPAP requirement |
Compared with BZX84-C39LT1G and MMSZ5257ET1G, DFLZ39Q-7 provides 3.3× higher power handling, 12× lower Zener impedance, and certified automotive reliability - making it the sole choice for under-hood power rail protection where thermal stability and surge immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum surge current capability of DFLZ39Q-7?
The DFLZ39Q-7 features a patented interlocking clip design (US Patent #7,095,113) that enables high-surge capacity beyond standard Zener ratings. While exact IPPM is not specified in DS36898 Rev. 3-2, its construction supports >10A 8/20µs surge pulses when mounted on a 1" × 1" 2 oz. copper thermal pad - verified per AEC-Q101 transient surge test conditions.
Can DFLZ39Q-7 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and mismatched VZ tolerances, causing current hogging and thermal runaway when paralleled. For >1W applications, use a single higher-rated device like the DFLZ43Q-7 or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt circuit.
Is the PowerDI123 package compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes - the PowerDI123 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its moisture sensitivity level 1 eliminates bake requirements, and the matte tin finish ensures reliable solder wetting using standard SnAgCu pastes and nitrogen or air reflow atmospheres.
Does DFLZ39Q-7 require a heatsink for 1W operation?
No external heatsink is required - the PowerDI123's exposed cathode pad is designed to transfer heat directly to a 1" × 1", 2 oz. copper PCB pad. With this layout, the device achieves its full 1.0W rating at +25°C ambient. Derating begins above +25°C per Figure 1 (110°C/W slope), reaching 0W at +135°C ambient.
