Product details
Overview
DFLZ8V2-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, rated for 8.2V nominal zener voltage at 100mA test current, with 1Ω typical zener impedance and ±0.03 to +0.08%/°C temperature coefficient. It delivers stable voltage regulation in automotive and industrial power supply rails, ESD protection clamping networks, and overvoltage reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ8V2-7 datasheet, DFLZ8V2-7 pinout, DFLZ8V2-7 application, or DFLZ8V2-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1W FR-4 PCB power dissipation, cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-qualified reliability, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, and thermal resistance of 9°C/W junction-to-soldering-point.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain precise DC voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low 1Ω typical zener impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation across 10–100mA operating current range, while the +0.03 to +0.08%/°C positive temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in multi-device bias networks.
Designed for high-reliability mounting on standard FR-4 PCBs, it achieves 1.0W power dissipation with a thermal resistance of 110°C/W junction-to-ambient (1.5" × 1.5" pad) and only 9°C/W junction-to-soldering-point - critical for thermally constrained layouts in automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V nominal at 100 mA test current; maintains regulation within 7.7–8.7 V tolerance band |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1 Ω typical at 100 mA; ensures <10 mV output variation per 10 mA load change |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W on FR-4 PCB with 1"×1" copper pad; supports sustained clamp duty in transient suppression |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9 °C/W junction-to-soldering-point; enables direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <5 µA at 6.56 V (80% VZ); guarantees low standby current in precision reference paths |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.03 to +0.08 %/°C; allows predictable series-Zener temperature compensation designs |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V at 200 mA; supports bidirectional clamping when paired with another diode |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener element in optocoupler-coupled feedback network regulating 5V/12V outputs. Use Value: 1W rating accommodates startup overshoot; tight 7.7–8.7V VZ tolerance reduces output regulation error to ±1.2%. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C8V2 (Diodes Inc.) | 0.3W SOT-23 package; 15Ω ZZT; ±5% VZ tolerance | Lower power, higher impedance - suited for signal-level biasing, not power rail clamping | Select when board space is critical and power dissipation <300mW; avoid for 12V system transients |
| MMSZ4687 (ON Semiconductor) | 0.5W SOD-123; 10Ω ZZT; 8.2V ±5%; no AEC-Q qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and 1W capability - limited to commercial-grade consumer power supplies | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where thermal margin is adequate |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2 and MMSZ4687, DFLZ8V2-7 provides 3.3× and 2× higher power handling, 15× and 10× lower zener impedance, and formal AEC-Q qualification - making it the sole choice for thermally demanding, safety-critical 12V rail regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the DFLZ8V2-7 can handle at 8.2V?
The DFLZ8V2-7 is specified for 100 mA zener test current (IZT) and supports continuous reverse current up to 125 mA at 25°C ambient, derating linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature per the 1.0W power limit and 110°C/W RθJA. At 8.2V, this corresponds to 102.5 mW at 12.5 mA - well within safe operating area.
Can DFLZ8V2-7 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients below ~5V and positive above, but DFLZ8V2-7's +0.03 to +0.08%/°C TC still causes current hogging if paralleled without ballast resistors. Its 1Ω ZZT also means mismatched units will share current unevenly; use a single device sized for the full load.
Is there an automotive-qualified version of DFLZ8V2-7?
Yes - the DFLZ8V2Q-7 is the AEC-Q200 qualified variant, manufactured under the same process and tested to extended temperature cycling, humidity, and vibration requirements. It shares identical electrical specs and PowerDI123 packaging but carries separate part numbering and qualification documentation.
How does the PowerDI123 package compare thermally to SMA or DO-214AC?
PowerDI123 offers 9°C/W RθJS, significantly better than SMA's ~20°C/W and DO-214AC's ~15°C/W due to its exposed cathode tab acting as a direct thermal interface to PCB copper. This enables 1W operation without external heatsinking - a key advantage in dense automotive PCB layouts.
