Additional Details

The VDZ6.8B has a Zener voltage of 6.8V with a specified tolerance. It can handle a certain amount of power dissipation, usually in the range of hundreds of milliwatts. The reverse leakage current is typically very low. The dynamic impedance is kept low to ensure stable voltage regulation. It is commonly used in conjunction with a series resistor to limit the current through the diode. These diodes are usually packaged in SOD-323 or similar small surface-mount packages. The operating temperature range typically extends from -55°C to +150°C.
