Product details
Overview
DFLZ5V1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, providing precise 5.1V nominal zener voltage at 100mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (4.8–5.4V), 2Ω typical zener impedance, and -0.08 to +0.02%/°C temperature coefficient - used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive body control modules and industrial power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ5V1-7 datasheet, DFLZ5V1-7 pinout, DFLZ5V1-7 application, or DFLZ5V1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (9°C/W junction-to-solder point), JEDEC-qualified reliability, RoHS/Green compliance, and FR-4 PCB power dissipation capability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low 2Ω typical zener impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation across 10–100mA operating current range, while the -0.08 to +0.02%/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift behavior in ambient ranges from -55°C to +150°C.
Designed for high-reliability surface-mount applications, it meets AEC-Q stress qualification standards and features matte tin-annealed copper leadframe terminals for robust solderability. The PowerDI123 package delivers 1.0W power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCBs with 1"x1" copper pad layout, supported by 110°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V1 (Nexperia) | 350mW rating, SOT-23 package, 40Ω typical ZZT, ±5% VZ | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100mA regulation | Select when board space is constrained and power demand is ≤350mW |
| MMSZ5222BS (ON Semiconductor) | 500mW rating, SOD-123 package, 17Ω typical ZZT, ±5% VZ | Lower thermal performance (RθJA ≈ 300°C/W) limits sustained current handling | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 1W capability is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C5V1 and MMSZ5222BS, DFLZ5V1-7 delivers 2× higher power rating, 8–10× lower zener impedance, and 12× better thermal resistance - making it uniquely suitable for automotive and industrial power regulation where sustained current, precision, and thermal robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the DFLZ5V1-7 can handle without degradation?
The DFLZ5V1-7 is rated for 100 mA zener test current (IZT) and supports continuous reverse current up to its 1.0W power limit - approximately 196 mA at 5.1V (P = V × I). Derating per Figure 1 applies above 25°C ambient; at 100°C, max current drops to ~125 mA to maintain safe junction temperature.
Does the DFLZ5V1-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes - the DFLZ5V1-7 is qualified to JEDEC standards referenced in AEC-Q200 for passive components. An automotive-compliant variant (DFLZ5V1Q) is also available under a separate datasheet with additional PPAP documentation and extended temperature screening.
How does the PowerDI123 package compare thermally to SOD-123 or DO-214AC?
PowerDI123 offers 9°C/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance - significantly lower than SOD-123 (~200°C/W) and DO-214AC (~40°C/W) - due to its exposed cathode tab acting as a thermal path to the PCB. This enables higher power density and improved long-term reliability in thermally constrained layouts.
Can DFLZ5V1-7 be used in place of a TL431-based shunt regulator?
No - DFLZ5V1-7 is a two-terminal Zener diode without adjustable reference or active amplification. It replaces fixed-voltage references only; TL431 substitution requires redesigning feedback topology and adding external resistors to set output voltage, as DFLZ5V1-7 lacks programmability or current-sink capability.
