ZMM16

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The ZMM16 is a surface-mount planar Zener diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor, housed in a glass MiniMELF SOD-80C package. It provides voltage stabilization with a nominal Zener voltage range of 15.3 V to 17.1 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +175°C. Standard voltage tolerance follows the E24 series at ±5%, while dynamic resistance is specified as less than 40 Ohms.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required voltage tolerance and package variant. Confirm compliance requirements such as AEC-Q101 qualification if automotive standards are necessary. Ensure the ordering suffix aligns with the intended application grade. Review the latest datasheet version for any updates to mechanical dimensions or electrical limits before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for low-to-medium voltage regulation. The SOD-80C package offers space efficiency compared to larger through-hole alternatives. Consider the thermal resistance and power derating curves if operating near maximum ambient temperatures. Verify that the dynamic impedance meets the noise sensitivity requirements of the target circuit design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ZMM1...ZMM75 series of SMD Planar Zener Diodes from Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers a wide voltage range from 1 V to 75 V within the same MiniMELF form factor. This standard commercial/industrial grade device serves as a foundational element for general-purpose electronic designs requiring stable reference voltages.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering SOD-80C packaged Zener diodes with similar 16 V nominal ratings. Verify that alternative parts match the 500 mW power dissipation limit and ±5% voltage tolerance. Ensure the replacement maintains comparable dynamic resistance and leakage current specifications for circuit compatibility.
