Product details
Overview
GDZ6V2LP3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 6.2 V ±4.7% 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 3.0 V and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the GDZ6V2LP3-7 datasheet, GDZ6V2LP3-7 pinout, GDZ6V2LP3-7 application, or GDZ6V2LP3-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-profile DFN package, tight Zener voltage tolerance (±4.7%), ultra-low leakage current, AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal resistance of 500 °C/W - critical for battery-powered and high-density PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across load and line variations. Its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient optimized near zero crossing for minimal drift over –55°C to +150°C operating range.
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure with matte tin–plated copper leadframe, enabling solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance. Its 0.3 mm profile and 0.2 mg mass support automated placement in fine-pitch, high-volume assembly.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B6V2,215 (Nexperia) | Same 6.2 V nominal, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); 200 mW rating; ±5% tolerance | Larger footprint limits use in 0201-class layouts; higher RθJA (625 °C/W) reduces power handling on dense boards | Select when legacy SOD-323 reflow profiles or higher surge capability (IEC 61000-4-5) are required |
| MMSZ4687T1G (onsemi) | 6.2 V nominal, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); 500 mW rating; ±5% tolerance; 2.5 µA IR @ 3 V | Higher leakage and 3× larger area preclude use in wearables; better thermal performance suits higher-power analog rails | Prefer for industrial sensors where board space is available and 500 mW headroom improves long-term stability |
Compared with BZX384-B6V2,215 and MMSZ4687T1G, GDZ6V2LP3-7 offers the smallest footprint and lowest leakage among 6.2 V Zeners qualified to AEC-Q101 - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-sensitive automotive and medical designs where thermal and spatial constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum Zener test current (IZT) for GDZ6V2LP3-7?
The datasheet specifies IZT = 5 mA for GDZ6V2LP3-7, at which the Zener voltage is measured and guaranteed within 5.86–6.53 V. This current establishes the device's regulation point and must be maintained via appropriate series resistance in shunt regulator configurations.
Is GDZ6V2LP3-7 suitable for reflow soldering using standard lead-free profiles?
Yes - GDZ6V2LP3-7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). Its matte tin finish ensures reliable wetting under peak temperatures up to 260°C, matching IPC-J-STD-020 Class 3 requirements.
Does GDZ6V2LP3-7 have a built-in thermal pad?
No - the X3-DFN0603-2 package has no electrically connected thermal pad. Heat dissipation occurs through the copper leadframe terminals and PCB copper area. The recommended pad layout (per Diodes Inc. document) uses 0.38 mm wide thermal reliefs to balance solder joint integrity and thermal conduction.
How does the temperature coefficient behave near 6.2 V?
Per Figure 7 in DS35065 Rev. 19, the temperature coefficient of GDZ6V2LP3-7 is approximately +0.02 %/°C - indicating slight positive drift with temperature. This value is derived from the device's junction design and falls within the typical range for 6.2 V Zeners optimized for low-drift reference use.
