Product details
Overview
M3Z6V8C RRG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 6.8 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-323F package, rated for 200 mW power dissipation and operating across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range; used for low-voltage stabilization and voltage reference in DC/DC converters and lighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the M3Z6V8C RRG datasheet, M3Z6V8C RRG pinout, M3Z6V8C RRG application, or M3Z6V8C RRG equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), dynamic impedance (≤10 Ω at 5 mA), leakage current (≤0.5 µA at 4 V), and moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1).
Technical Context
The M3Z6V8C RRG operates as a single-die, cathode-banded Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 6.8 V. Its design supports stable regulation under DC bias conditions with test current IZ = 5 mA and knee current IZK = 1 mA.
It features low dynamic impedance (10 Ω max at 5 mA), tight voltage tolerance (6.46–7.14 V), and guaranteed leakage performance (≤0.5 µA at VR = 4 V), enabling precise voltage clamping in space-constrained SMT applications.
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-B6V8,115 (Nexperia) | Same 6.8 V ±5%, SOD-323 package, but 300 mW rating and higher leakage (≤3 µA at 4 V) | Better power handling margin; less suitable for ultra-low-leakage bias networks | Select when higher surge tolerance or legacy Nexperia BOM alignment is required |
| MMBZ5236BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 6.8 V ±5%, SOT-23 package (larger footprint), 225 mW rating, 10 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Requires PCB layout change; optimized for higher test current and tighter regulation at elevated loads | Select when existing SOT-23 land pattern is fixed and 20 mA operating point is preferred |
Compared with M3Z6V8C RRG, the BZX384-B6V8 offers higher power margin but looser leakage control, while MMBZ5236BS-7-F trades SOD-323F compactness for improved regulation at higher currents-neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout verification for substitution.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the M3Z6V8C RRG?
The M3Z6V8C RRG has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its nominal 6.8 V breakdown occurs between 6.46 V and 7.14 V at IZ = 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version B2008). The M3Z6V8C RRG maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
What package type does the M3Z6V8C RRG use?
The M3Z6V8C RRG uses the SOD-323F surface-mount package, measuring 1.7 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm with matte tin-plated leads. This is explicitly stated in the Mechanical Data section and Ordering Information table of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The SOD-323F outline supports J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and requires no pre-bake prior to reflow.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the M3Z6V8C RRG?
The M3Z6V8C RRG is rated for 200 mW maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C, with derating to zero at 150°C ambient per the Power Dissipation curve (Figure 7). This value is listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings and confirmed in the KEY PARAMETERS table. Exceeding 200 mW continuously risks thermal runaway and permanent degradation of the M3Z6V8C RRG.
Does the M3Z6V8C RRG meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the M3Z6V8C RRG is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. These compliance statements apply directly to the M3Z6V8C RRG and all variants in the M3Z2V0C–M3Z75VC family, verified through material declarations and third-party testing.
What is the leakage current specification for the M3Z6V8C RRG?
The M3Z6V8C RRG specifies a maximum leakage current of 0.5 µA at VR = 4 V, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and reflects the device's ability to minimize standby current in bias networks. Leakage remains ≤0.5 µA up to 100°C, as shown in Figure 6 (Typical Leakage Current).
