MM5Z6V8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MM5Z6V8 is a surface-mount planar Zener diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor, housed in an SOD-523 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a standard tolerance of approximately ±5%. The device features a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a dynamic resistance of less than 15 Ohms at a test current of 5 mA, a reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA at 3.5 V, and a temperature coefficient between +3% and +6%.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Sharp Zener voltage breakdown characteristic for precise regulation
• Low leakage current performance
• Tiny case outline suitable for space-constrained designs

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Voltage regulators
• Reference voltage generation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. Standard versions lack automotive qualification. Suffixes such as -Q indicate AEC-Q101 compliance, while -AQ denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Confirm that the required grade matches the application's reliability standards before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for general commercial or industrial applications requiring stable voltage reference points. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified thermal resistance and power dissipation limits. For automotive environments, verify if the standard version meets requirements or if the qualified variant is necessary.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the MM5Z2V0 through MM5Z47 series of SMD Planar Zener Diodes from Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.0 V to 47 V in the compact SOD-523 footprint. It is designed for standard commercial and industrial use cases where small size and reliable voltage regulation are prioritized.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

For tighter voltage tolerances around ±2%, consider the MM5ZxxB series. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the SOD-523 package, 6.8 V nominal voltage, and 300 mW power rating.
