Product details
Overview
DZ23C6V2-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-cathode 6.2 V Zener diode pair in SOT23 package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation, with ±5% matching between zener voltages and 10 Ω typical zener impedance at 5 mA. It serves precision voltage reference and dual-rail clamping functions in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DZ23C6V2-7-F datasheet, DZ23C6V2-7-F pinout, DZ23C6V2-7-F application, or DZ23C6V2-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include matched zener voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance, thermal stability (TC = +0.030 %/°C), JEDEC-qualified reliability, and SOT23 compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This dual zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with two anodes sharing one cathode terminal, enabling symmetrical clamping or dual-reference generation from a single footprint. Its matched voltage tracking (≤5% ΔVZ) supports differential sensing and rail-to-rail voltage stabilization.
The device exhibits +0.030 %/°C temperature coefficient near 6.2 V, low 10 Ω zener impedance at IZT = 5 mA, and maintains stable regulation down to 2.0 V minimum reverse voltage - critical for low-headroom biasing in sensor signal chains and power supply feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 5.8–6.6 V at 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight matching across dual elements |
| Max Zener Impedance | 10 Ω at 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.030 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references |
| Power Dissipation | 300 mW total - supports dual-diode operation without derating on standard FR4 PCBs |
| Min Reverse Voltage | 2.0 V - allows functional regulation even with low-supply or battery-depleted conditions |
| Package | SOT23 - enables high-density placement and compatibility with pick-and-place equipment |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leads, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1, weight ≈ 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (Pin 1) | First Zener Anode | Reverse-biased input for first 6.2 V reference path; connects to independent circuit node |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Common Cathode | Shared return node for both zeners; must be tied to system reference or ground |
| Anode 2 (Pin 3) | Second Zener Anode | Reverse-biased input for second 6.2 V reference path; enables dual-rail symmetry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual common-cathode configuration | Enables matched dual-voltage referencing from one footprint without inter-device mismatch |
| ≤5% ΔVZ matching | Guarantees consistent regulation across both diodes - essential for differential error detection |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Meets high-reliability standards per AEC-Q stress protocols - suitable for industrial control environments |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 3 and "Green" definitions (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) for eco-sensitive designs |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | USB-C Power Delivery Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX79-C6V2 (Nexperia) | Single 6.2 V Zener in DO-35; no dual-element or voltage matching | Requires two devices for dual-rail use; introduces inter-device mismatch risk | Select only when dual-element integration is unnecessary and board space permits discrete placement |
| DZ23C6V8-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 6.8 V nominal zener voltage; otherwise identical package, matching, and reliability specs | Used where higher reference voltage improves noise margin in 5 V systems | Choose for 5 V rail clamping where 6.8 V threshold better avoids false triggering than 6.2 V |
Compared with BZX79-C6V2 and DZ23C6V8-7-F, DZ23C6V2-7-F uniquely delivers matched dual 6.2 V regulation in one SOT23 - reducing component count, eliminating inter-device drift, and simplifying layout for precision dual-reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DZ23C6V2-7-F?
The device is rated for 300 mW total power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with derating to zero at 150°C junction temperature per the published power derating curve. This applies to combined dissipation across both zener elements mounted on FR4 with recommended pad layout.
How is the common-cathode configuration used in circuit design?
In practice, Pin 2 (cathode) is connected to a stable reference or ground, while Pins 1 and 3 (anodes) serve independent nodes - enabling simultaneous 6.2 V clamping on two signals or generating matched reference voltages for differential circuits without inter-device tolerance stacking.
Does DZ23C6V2-7-F meet automotive qualification requirements?
The commercial-grade DZ23C6V2-7-F is JEDEC-qualified but not AEC-Q200 certified. For automotive use, Diodes offers the Q-suffix variant DZ23C6V2Q-7-F, manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities and qualified to AEC-Q200 standards.
What is the significance of the "-7-F" suffix in the part number?
The "-7-F" denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3000 units per reel, with "7" indicating 7-inch reel diameter and "F" specifying lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish. This suffix is required for ordering and distinguishes it from bulk or alternate packaging variants.
