Product details
Overview
PDZ6.2B,115 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode designed for low-power voltage regulation in space-constrained SMD applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V at 5 mA, ±2 % tolerance, 80 Ω maximum differential resistance at 5 mA, 0.5 μA maximum reverse leakage at 4.0 V, and 3.0 mV/K temperature coefficient. It operates as a precision shunt reference in bias networks, overvoltage clamping circuits, and analog signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ6.2B,115 datasheet, PDZ6.2B,115 pinout, PDZ6.2B,115 application, or PDZ6.2B,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at low test current (IZ = 5 mA), dynamic impedance under regulation, thermal coefficient behavior across operating current range, and SOD323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable voltage across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its hard breakdown knee and low leakage (≤0.5 μA at VR = 4.0 V) support clean regulation in low-current biasing and sensing circuits.
The PDZ6.2B,115 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +2.7 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its 130 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance supports reliable operation on FR4 PCBs with standard footprint mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.06 V to 6.33 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation setpoint with ±2 % tolerance for precision reference use |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤80 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation in feedback paths |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 4.0 V - enables low-error biasing in high-impedance nodes without loading error |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +2.7 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - provides predictable, linear voltage drift for thermal compensation design |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or ESD clamp in dual-role circuits |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous regulation power on standard FR4 PCB |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 130 K/W - determines thermal rise above solder point under steady-state dissipation |
Pinout & Package
PDZ6.2B,115 is housed in a SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, with cathode identified by a marking bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance at low current | 80 Ω max at 5 mA enables stable regulation in microampere-level bias networks |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp, well-defined Zener transition improves voltage predictability in analog references |
| Very low leakage current | 0.5 μA max at 4.0 V prevents loading errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| SOD323 package footprint | 1.8 mm × 1.35 mm outline supports high-density routing and automated assembly |
| ±2 % voltage tolerance | Tight initial accuracy reduces need for post-production trimming in precision circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C6V2 | Same SOD323 package; tighter 5 % tolerance (6.06–6.34 V); higher 100 Ω rdif at 5 mA | Higher dynamic impedance limits use in precision feedback loops | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stability requirements |
| MMSZ4687T1G | SOD-123 package (larger footprint); 6.2 V nominal; 100 Ω rdif; −2.5 mV/K TC | Negative TC requires different thermal compensation strategy than PDZ6.2B,115's +2.7 mV/K | Selected when board layout permits larger package and negative TC aligns with system drift budget |
Compared with BZX584C6V2 and MMSZ4687T1G, PDZ6.2B,115 offers superior low-current regulation stability due to its 80 Ω rdif and positive TC-critical for bias networks where current varies dynamically and thermal drift must track ambient rise.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current the PDZ6.2B,115 can handle continuously?
The PDZ6.2B,115 has no specified continuous reverse current rating; it is rated for continuous power dissipation of 400 mW at 25 °C ambient. At its nominal 6.2 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous Zener current of approximately 64.5 mA (400 mW ÷ 6.2 V), assuming full power is allocated to regulation.
Does the PDZ6.2B,115 have a specified Zener impedance at 1 mA?
No-Nexperia specifies differential resistance (rdif) only at IZ = 5 mA (≤80 Ω) and does not publish impedance values at 1 mA. The device's low-leakage profile (≤0.5 μA at 4.0 V) indicates usable regulation onset near 5 mA, not sub-milliampere currents.
Can PDZ6.2B,115 be used in place of a 6.2 V Zener with ±5 % tolerance?
Yes-its ±2 % tolerance (6.06 V to 6.33 V) falls within the ±5 % band (5.89 V to 6.51 V) and provides tighter regulation. However, its lower dynamic impedance and positive temperature coefficient differ from many ±5 % parts, so thermal drift behavior must be verified in the target circuit.
Is the SOD323 package of PDZ6.2B,115 compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. Figure 9 in the datasheet provides the recommended solder land pattern (0.6 mm × 0.5 mm pads, 0.95 mm pitch), ensuring reliable joint formation under standard IPC-A-610 Class 2 conditions.
