DZ3X068D0L

Overview

The DZ3X068D0L is a Zener diode manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8V with a tolerance of 5%. The device has a power dissipation rating of 200mW (0.2W). It is constructed from silicon and is designed for unidirectional operation. The component is packaged in the GL WNG format, which measures 2.9mm by 2.8mm. This part is compliant with RoHS standards and is halogen-free.

Feature Summary

• Halogen-free construction ensuring compliance with environmental regulations
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process
• Compact surface-mount package design

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Overvoltage protection applications
• Reference voltage generation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact packaging configuration and reel specifications required for your assembly line. Confirm that the 2.9x2.8mm package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 5% tolerance meets the precision needs of your circuit design before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.8V reference or clamp is needed in a compact space. The 200mW power rating suits low-current applications. Verify compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the small GL WNG package size. Consider thermal management if multiple units are placed closely together on the board.

Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's Zener diode portfolio, specifically the DZ3X series. It shares characteristics with other variants like the DZ3X068D but differs in packaging and specific ordering codes. The series is designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring stable voltage references.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with DZ3X068D for potential functional equivalence, noting differences in packaging suffixes. Verify pinout and electrical parameters against alternative manufacturers' 6.8V 200mW Zener diodes in similar packages before substitution.
