Product details
Overview
DFLZ5V6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, rated for 5.6V nominal zener voltage at 100mA test current, with 1Ω typical zener impedance and ±0.04%/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in compact automotive and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ5V6-7 datasheet, DFLZ5V6-7 pinout, DFLZ5V6-7 application, or DFLZ5V6-7 equivalent, this device serves as a high-reliability, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free voltage reference for overvoltage protection, voltage clamping, and low-power biasing circuits requiring stable 5.6V regulation under transient conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode–anode terminals. Its 1.0W power dissipation rating is validated on FR-4 PCB with 2 oz. copper and 1"×1" pad layout, and thermal resistance junction-to-soldering-point is 9°C/W - enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
The device features a cathode band marking, matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, and JEDEC-qualified reliability per AEC-Q standards. With 10µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 2.5V and 100µA at VR = 5.2V (min VZ), it supports low-quiescent-current regulation without compromising stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6V nominal at IZT = 100mA; min 5.2V / max 6.0V - ensures tight tolerance for 5V rail clamping and reference generation |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1Ω typical at IZT = 100mA - delivers low dynamic resistance for minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W on FR-4 PCB - supports continuous regulation in space-constrained DC/DC feedback paths and LDO supervision |
| Temp Coefficient (TC) | −0.04%/°C to +0.04%/°C - enables stable reference performance across −55°C to +150°C operating range |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10µA max at VR = 2.5V; 100µA max at VR = 5.2V - guarantees low standby current in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9°C/W junction-to-soldering-point - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for efficient heat extraction |
| Package | PowerDI123 - 3-pin SMD outline (1.78mm × 3.70mm) with exposed cathode tab for enhanced thermal and electrical performance |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI123 - molded green plastic housing (UL 94V-0), 0.01g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1, cathode band marking on top view. Terminals are matte tin–annealed copper; solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to ground or low-side reference node in Zener configuration | Provides low-resistance path for reverse-bias current flow during regulation; requires PCB thermal relief for soldering integrity |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Current exit terminal in reverse breakdown; connected to regulated voltage node | Exposed metal tab functions as primary thermal conduction path and electrical connection - must be soldered to large copper pour |
| Case / Tab (Pin 3) | Integrated cathode connection - electrically and thermally tied to Pin 2 | Not isolated; serves as both current return and heat sink interface - eliminates need for separate thermal pad vias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.0W power rating on standard FR-4 | Enables use in cost-sensitive industrial power supplies without heatsinks or specialized board stack-ups |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability (AEC-Q) | Validated for automotive-grade stress testing - suitable for under-hood ECUs and ADAS sensor modules |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets <900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb - compliant with IPC-1752A and EU environmental directives |
| Cathode-band polarity marking | Unambiguous orientation identification during automated optical inspection (AOI) and reflow assembly |
| Low RθJS = 9°C/W | Reduces thermal derating impact - maintains full 1.0W capability up to +105°C ambient on standard 2-layer boards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V6 | 0.3W SOT-23 package; 5.6V ±5%; ZZT = 40Ω typical; RθJA = 300°C/W | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >50mA continuous regulation | Select for space-constrained logic-level protection where thermal budget is not critical |
| MMSZ5232BS | 0.5W SOD-123; 5.6V ±5%; ZZT = 10Ω typical; RθJA = 200°C/W; AEC-Q200 qualified | Higher thermal resistance limits sustained power handling; lacks 1.0W FR-4 rating | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs needing automotive qualification but lower power density |
Compared with BZX84-C5V6 and MMSZ5232BS, DFLZ5V6-7 delivers 2× higher power density, 10× lower zener impedance, and 30× better thermal resistance - making it uniquely suited for industrial and automotive power-rail stabilization where long-term reliability under thermal stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the DFLZ5V6-7 can handle at 25°C ambient?
At TA = +25°C, the DFLZ5V6-7 can sustain 178.6mA continuous reverse current (calculated as PD / VZ = 1.0W / 5.6V), assuming ideal heat sinking. Derating begins above 25°C per Figure 1's 110°C/W RθJA curve - at 70°C ambient, max continuous current drops to ~115mA.
Does the PowerDI123 package require thermal vias under the cathode tab?
No thermal vias are required for basic operation, as the 9°C/W RθJS is measured to the solder joint itself. However, for sustained 1.0W dissipation above 60°C ambient, at least four 0.3mm-diameter thermal vias spaced evenly under the 2.8mm × 1.78mm tab are recommended to reduce effective RθJA below 60°C/W.
Is DFLZ5V6-7 suitable for use in a 5V USB-powered circuit as an overvoltage protector?
Yes - when placed between VBUS and ground with a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 10Ω), it clamps transients above 6.0V while drawing <100mA during fault. Its 10µA IR at 2.5V ensures no measurable loading on healthy 5V lines, and the 1.0W rating absorbs short-duration surges without failure.
How does the −0.04%/°C temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
Over a −40°C to +85°C range (125°C ΔT), the worst-case VZ shift is ±5.0mV (5.6V × |−0.04| × 125), resulting in total span of 5.595V to 5.605V. This ±0.09% variation meets Class 1 accuracy for industrial voltage references and exceeds requirements for most non-precision analog sensing applications.
