Product details
Overview
GDZ6V0LP3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.0 V ±5% Zener diode in an ultra-small X3-DFN0603-2 (0.6 × 0.3 mm) leadless package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at +25°C, with 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 2.8 V and thermal resistance of 500 °C/W - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the GDZ6V0LP3-7 datasheet, GDZ6V0LP3-7 pinout, GDZ6V0LP3-7 application, or GDZ6V0LP3-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-low profile (0.3 mm), cathode-bar marking, matte tin terminals, and tight 5.676–6.324 V zener voltage range at 5 mA test current.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load and temperature conditions. Its low leakage (≤1.0 µA at VR = 2.8 V) and tight tolerance (±5%) support battery-powered systems requiring long-term stability and minimal quiescent current draw.
The X3-DFN0603-2 package enables high-density PCB layouts and automated placement, while its 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires careful thermal pad design per Diodes' recommended layout to sustain full 250 mW rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.0 V nominal, 5.676–6.324 V range at IZT = 5 mA - ensures predictable clamping in low-power regulation circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = +25°C - defines maximum continuous steady-state power handling on standard FR-4 board. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 2.8 V - enables use in microamp-level standby circuits without compromising battery life. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 500 °C/W - requires thermal pad design per Diodes' Suggested Pad Layout to avoid derating above ambient +25°C. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial environments per AEC-Q101 qualification. |
| Package | X3-DFN0603-2 (0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3 mm) - ultra-miniature, leadless, surface-mount footprint for high-density portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: X3-DFN0603-2 - ultra-small, leadless, two-terminal plastic molded case with matte tin-plated copper leadframe; cathode identified by bar marking on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener cathode terminal | Connected to higher potential side during reverse-bias operation; marked with cathode bar on top view. |
| 2 (Anode) | Zener anode terminal | Connected to lower potential side; forms the reference node when regulating voltage across load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that GDZ6V0LP3-7 can withstand before breakdown?
The GDZ6V0LP3-7 exhibits controlled reverse breakdown at its specified zener voltage of 6.0 V (5.676–6.324 V) when tested at IZT = 5 mA. Below this threshold - specifically at VR = 2.8 V - reverse leakage remains ≤1.0 µA. It is not rated for sustained operation above VZ; exceeding it risks thermal runaway without proper current limiting.
Is GDZ6V0LP3-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - GDZ6V0LP3-7 uses matte tin over copper leadframe terminations and is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU). It supports standard JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3A peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, with MSL Level 1 rating meaning no dry-pack or baking is required prior to assembly.
How does the X3-DFN0603-2 package affect thermal performance compared to SOD-323?
The X3-DFN0603-2 package has higher thermal resistance (500 °C/W) than typical SOD-323 diodes (~300–400 °C/W) due to its minimal copper content and lack of leads. To achieve rated 250 mW dissipation, Diodes Incorporated mandates use of their recommended thermal pad layout on FR-4 PCB - omitting this reduces safe operating power by >40% at +70°C ambient.
Can GDZ6V0LP3-7 be used as a substitute for GDZ6V2LP3-7 in existing designs?
GDZ6V0LP3-7 (6.0 V) and GDZ6V2LP3-7 (6.2 V) differ by 0.2 V nominal zener voltage and have distinct marking codes (KW vs. KO). Substitution is only acceptable if the 3.3% VZ shift falls within system tolerance - e.g., in non-critical biasing - and if the application does not rely on the tighter 6.2 V specification for ADC reference accuracy or overvoltage threshold setting.
