DZ6J068S0R

Overview

The Panasonic DZ6J068S0R is a surface-mount Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and protection applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance of 5%. The device operates in an SMini4-F3-B package, measuring 2x2.1 mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. It has a power dissipation rating of 200 mW and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA. The Zener impedance is specified at 20 ohms. This component is part of the DZ series, offering high reliability for industrial and consumer electronics.

Feature Summary

• Compact SMini4-F3-B surface mount package for automated assembly
• Stable 6.8 V reference voltage with tight 5% tolerance
• Low leakage current characteristics for efficient standby modes
• Robust thermal performance within 200 mW dissipation limit

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits in precision measurement equipment
• Over-voltage protection for sensitive signal lines
• Clamping applications in portable electronic devices
• Biasing networks in analog signal processing modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S0R' against the official Panasonic datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact voltage tolerance and package variant required for your design. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status, as component lifecycles may change.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile 2x2.1 mm footprint is required for 6.8 V regulation. Compare the 200 mW power rating against expected surge currents to ensure adequate thermal headroom. Consider the 20-ohm Zener impedance for dynamic load variations in your circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's DZ series of surface-mount Zener diodes, which are engineered for high-volume manufacturing. The series provides alternatives to through-hole components, enabling miniaturization of control boards. It complements other passive components in power management and signal conditioning subsystems.

Replacement Considerations

Check Panasonic's official replacement list for discontinued variants. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as breakdown voltage and package dimensions before substituting with generic equivalents.
