Technical Specifications: The TFZV7.5 typically comes in a small surface-mount package (e.g., SOD-323 or similar). It has a power dissipation rating, which specifies the maximum power that the diode can safely dissipate. The reverse leakage current is typically very low, which minimizes power loss in the circuit. The diode also has a surge current capability, which indicates the maximum surge current that it can withstand without being damaged. Consult the Rohm Semiconductor datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics such as dynamic impedance, reverse current, and temperature coefficient.
