Product details
Overview
UDZ3V6B-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal 3.6 V breakdown voltage, ±3.5% tolerance (3.60–3.845 V), 200 mW power rating, and 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits, such as sensor biasing and ADC reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the UDZ3V6B-7 datasheet, UDZ3V6B-7 pinout, UDZ3V6B-7 application, or UDZ3V6B-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (625 °C/W), reverse leakage (<10 µA at 1.0 V), cathode-band polarity marking, and SOD323 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its sharp knee characteristics and tight 3.6 V tolerance enable accurate voltage clamping in feedback loops and reference dividers.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C, it features a 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR-4 PCBs and exhibits <0.1% typical temperature coefficient near its 3.6 V operating point, minimizing drift in precision analog systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.60–3.845 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage range for reference or clamp applications |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW - maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-4 layout before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω at 5 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise per milliwatt dissipated on recommended pad layout |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V6,115 (Nexperia) | Same 3.6 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD323, but higher ZZT = 150 Ω at 5 mA | Less stable under dynamic load; suitable only where tighter regulation not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy needs |
| MMSZ4685T1G (ON Semiconductor) | 3.6 V nominal, ±5%, SOD123 package (larger footprint), RθJA = 500 °C/W | Lower thermal resistance but incompatible with fine-pitch SOD323 layouts | Choose when board space allows larger package and higher power margin is needed |
Compared with BZX384-B3V6 and MMSZ4685T1G, UDZ3V6B-7 delivers superior voltage tolerance (±3.5% vs. ±5%), lower dynamic impedance, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for automotive and high-accuracy industrial references where SOD323 size is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that UDZ3V6B-7 can withstand before breakdown?
The UDZ3V6B-7 begins controlled Zener breakdown at 3.60 V minimum and reaches full regulation by 3.845 V at 5 mA. Below 1.0 V reverse bias, leakage remains ≤10 µA - so 1.0 V is the practical non-breakdown limit for safe blocking operation in clamp or reference configurations.
Is UDZ3V6B-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. UDZ3V6B-7 is fully RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Its matte tin annealed terminals meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and withstand peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C.
How does the SOD323 package affect thermal performance in high-density PCB layouts?
The SOD323 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 625 °C/W on standard FR-4 with Diodes' recommended pad layout. In dense layouts, thermal relief must be minimized and adjacent copper pours avoided to prevent localized heating that could shift Zener voltage or accelerate aging.
Can UDZ3V6B-7 replace a 3.3 V Zener diode in a voltage reference circuit?
No - UDZ3V6B-7 is specified at 3.6 V nominal (3.60–3.845 V), not 3.3 V. Using it in a 3.3 V reference would cause over-regulation and potential downstream component stress. For 3.3 V applications, consider UDZ3V3B-7 (3.3 V variant in same series).
