Product details
Overview
TLZ10-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a precision small-signal Zener diode in MiniMELF (SOD-80) package, designed for voltage stabilization and reference applications. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with ±5% tolerance (9.12–10.44 V), operates at 20 mA test current, exhibits low dynamic resistance of 8 Ω, and maintains reverse leakage current ≤0.04 μA at 7.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the TLZ10-GS08 datasheet, TLZ10-GS08 pinout, TLZ10-GS08 application, or TLZ10-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight VZ tolerance, ultra-low IR, stable temperature coefficient (≈+5.5 × 10−4/K near 10 V), and suitability for low-noise analog references and precision power-supply feedback loops.
Technical Context
The TLZ10-GS08 belongs to the TLZ-Series family of silicon planar Zener diodes optimized for sharp reverse breakdown and high long-term stability. Its junction construction enables low noise and minimal voltage drift over time and temperature.
It operates within a 500 mW total power dissipation limit, supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C, and features a thermal resistance of 500 K/W on standard PCB layout (50 mm × 50 mm × 1.6 mm). The device is rated for storage from −65 °C to +175 °C and complies with MSL level 1 per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.12–10.44 V at IZT = 20 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or reference circuits |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 8 Ω max at IZT = 20 mA - ensures minimal output impedance and high regulation accuracy under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.04 μA at VR = 7.5 V - critical for low-power bias networks and high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW - sets maximum continuous DC or pulsed power handling on standard PCB layout |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 to +175 °C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | MiniMELF (SOD-80) - cylindrical glass-body surface-mount package with cathode band marking and 31 mg mass |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.5 V max at IF = 200 mA - supports use as clamping or protection diode in bidirectional circuits |
Pinout & Package
MiniMELF (SOD-80) is a two-terminal axial-lead surface-mount package with cathode identified by a dark band. No PCB pad layout changes are required when replacing other SOD-80 Zeners; footprint matches JEDEC DO-213AA standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener mode | Must be held at potential ≤ (VZ − VF) below cathode to avoid forward conduction during regulation |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to higher-potential node in Zener mode | Marked with dark band; serves as regulated output node in shunt regulator configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very sharp reverse characteristic | Enables clean, predictable breakdown onset - essential for accurate threshold detection and low-hysteresis clamping |
| Low reverse leakage current | ≤0.04 μA at 75% of VZ - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance reference dividers and battery-powered sensors |
| High stability & low noise | Long-term VZ drift <0.1% after 1000 hrs; low 1/f noise - suitable for metrology-grade voltage references |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Self-extinguishing encapsulation - meets flame-retardancy requirements for industrial and transportation end equipment |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH - eliminates bake requirements before reflow soldering |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Automotive Sensor Reference |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C10 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 10 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance, 15 Ω ZZ, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package | Higher dynamic resistance reduces regulation accuracy in low-current feedback loops | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision; requires through-hole PCB layout |
| MMSZ5240B (Diodes Inc.) | 10 V nominal, ±5%, 17 Ω ZZ, 500 mW, SOD-123 package, 100 nA IR at 7.5 V | Lower leakage than TLZ10-GS08 but significantly higher ZZ; smaller footprint limits thermal margin | Suitable for space-constrained consumer designs; not recommended for high-stability industrial references |
Compared with BZX55C10 and MMSZ5240B, TLZ10-GS08 offers superior regulation accuracy (8 Ω vs. ≥15 Ω ZZ) and lower noise-critical for metrology and closed-loop control-while sharing the same 10 V nominal value and 500 mW rating.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range specified for TLZ10-GS08?
The TLZ10-GS08 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 9.12 V to 10.44 V at 20 mA test current (IZT), corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 10 V rating. This range is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay document 85635 Rev. 2.6.
Does TLZ10-GS08 have a specified temperature coefficient, and what is its typical value?
Yes, TLZ10-GS08 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near +5.5 × 10−4/K (or +0.055%/°C) at 10 V, as shown in Figure 3 ("Typical Temperature Coefficient of VZ vs. Z-Voltage") in the TLZ-Series datasheet. This value ensures predictable, monotonic VZ drift over temperature in precision reference designs.
Can TLZ10-GS08 be used in surface-mount reflow processes without moisture sensitivity concerns?
Yes, TLZ10-GS08 is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to standard lead-free reflow (peak temperature ≤260 °C). Its MiniMELF (SOD-80) package uses UL 94 V-0 compliant molding compound.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TLZ10-GS08, and at what test condition is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for TLZ10-GS08 is 0.04 μA, measured at VR = 7.5 V (75% of nominal VZ). This ultra-low IR is critical for minimizing error in high-impedance voltage divider networks and battery-backed reference circuits.
How does the dynamic resistance of TLZ10-GS08 impact its performance in a shunt regulator circuit?
With a maximum dynamic resistance (ZZ) of 8 Ω at 20 mA, TLZ10-GS08 provides excellent line and load regulation-output voltage change is limited to ≤80 mV per 10 mA load step. This low ZZ directly improves regulation accuracy in feedback paths of switching regulators and precision analog supplies.
