Product details
Overview
DFLZ5V1Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, with nominal Zener voltage 5.1V (±5% tolerance), 100mA test current, 2Ω typical Zener impedance, and -0.08%/°C to +0.02%/°C temperature coefficient. It delivers stable voltage regulation in automotive power supply rails and industrial overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ5V1Q-7 datasheet, DFLZ5V1Q-7 pinout, DFLZ5V1Q-7 application, or DFLZ5V1Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at 100mA, thermal resistance of 9°C/W junction-to-solder point, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and 1W dissipation on FR-4 PCB.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp voltage at 5.1V with low dynamic impedance (2Ω typ) under 100mA test current, enabling precise regulation in feedback loops and reference circuits. Its patented interlocking clip design supports high-surge capacity per US Patent #7,095,113.
Thermally optimized for automotive-grade reliability, it achieves 9°C/W junction-to-solder thermal resistance and derates linearly above 25°C ambient, maintaining 1W dissipation up to +125°C ambient per Figure 1. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 and rated for -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1V nominal, 4.8–5.4V min/max at IZT = 100mA - ensures ±5% regulation window for 5V rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W on FR-4 PCB with 1"×1" copper pad - supports sustained clamping in transient overvoltage events |
| Zener Impedance (Zzt) | 2Ω typical at IZT = 100mA - minimizes output voltage deviation under load variation |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9°C/W junction-to-solder point - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB ground plane |
| Temperature Coefficient | -0.08 to +0.02%/°C - guarantees low drift across automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.5µA max at VR = 1V - ensures minimal standby current in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2V at IF = 200mA - defines conduction loss when used in bidirectional ESD paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V1-7-F | 350mW rating, SOT-23 package, 40Ω Zzt, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to low-power consumer electronics; unsuitable for automotive transients | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs with <350mW dissipation needs |
| MMSZ5222B-7-F | 500mW rating, SOD-123 package, 17Ω Zzt, AEC-Q101 qualified but no interlocking clip | Acceptable for moderate-surge industrial use but lacks DFLZ5V1Q-7's 1W surge margin | Choose when board space is constrained and 500mW suffices; verify thermal layout separately |
Compared with BZX84-C5V1-7-F and MMSZ5222B-7-F, DFLZ5V1Q-7 provides 2.8× higher power rating, 8–20× lower Zener impedance, and patented surge structure - making it uniquely suited for automotive and high-reliability industrial clamping where thermal stability and transient immunity are critical.

Manufacturer
Diodes Incorporated is a global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and analog ICs, headquartered in Plano, Texas, with design and manufacturing operations across Asia and the Americas.
The DFLZ series targets high-reliability Zener regulation in automotive and industrial environments, emphasizing thermal performance, surge resilience, and regulatory compliance - not general-purpose voltage reference use.
FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage DFLZ5V1Q-7 can withstand before breakdown?
The DFLZ5V1Q-7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1V with a guaranteed range of 4.8V to 5.4V at 100mA test current. It begins controlled reverse breakdown within this band and is not rated for continuous operation above 5.4V - exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to unregulated power dissipation.
How does the PowerDI123 package improve thermal performance compared to SOD-123?
The PowerDI123 package features an exposed cathode pad that provides direct thermal conduction to the PCB, achieving 9°C/W junction-to-solder resistance versus ~120°C/W for standard SOD-123. This allows 1W dissipation on FR-4 versus ~350mW for SOD-123, verified per JEDEC JESD51-2A testing.
Is DFLZ5V1Q-7 suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - DFLZ5V1Q-7 is a unidirectional Zener diode with cathode band marking. Its forward voltage is 1.2V at 200mA, but it lacks symmetric clamping characteristics. For bidirectional ESD protection, TVS diodes such as D28V0L4BCP-7 are specifically designed with matched forward/reverse breakdown.
Does the -7 suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging only, or does it affect electrical specs?
The -7 suffix denotes 3000-unit tape-and-reel packaging per AEC-Q101 ordering convention and has no effect on electrical or thermal specifications. All DFLZ5V1Q-7 units share identical Zener voltage, impedance, and thermal characteristics regardless of packaging format.
