MTZJ6V8SA

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MTZJ6V8SA is a hermetically sealed glass Zener diode from the MTZJ2V0SA series by Taiwan Semiconductor. It operates in the DO-34 through-hole package with a single die configuration. The nominal Zener voltage is 6.46 V, measured at a test current of 5 mA. Electrical specifications include a maximum regular impedance of 20 Ω and a maximum leakage current of 2 μA at 3.5 V reverse voltage. The device supports a power dissipation of 500 mW and functions within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., R0, A0) against the datasheet ordering information to confirm packaging type. Confirm RoHS compliance status as detailed in the manufacturer documentation. Ensure the component matches the required voltage tolerance grade (A, B, or C) for the intended circuit design.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring precise voltage regulation within the specified temperature range. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit when designing thermal management strategies. Verify that the operating current remains within the 5 mA test current specification to maintain accurate voltage regulation characteristics.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MTZJ2V0SA series, which covers a broad Zener voltage spectrum from 2 V to 56 V. All devices in this series share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical testing conditions, differing primarily in their specific breakdown voltage values and associated tolerance grades defined by the manufacturer.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the DO-34 package, 500 mW power rating, and similar Zener voltage specifications. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and ensure equivalent thermal performance characteristics are maintained.
