BZG03C36TR3

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZG03C36TR3 is a single Zener diode from the Vishay BZG03C-Series, housed in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tolerance range of 34 V to 38 V. The device operates at a test current of 10 mA and exhibits a maximum dynamic resistance of 40 Ohms. Power dissipation capabilities are rated at 1.25 W under standard thermal conditions or up to 3 W when mounted on high-conductivity substrates. The component supports a junction temperature up to 150 °C and includes a glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix TR3 specifically denotes the 6 k reel packaging option as defined in the datasheet. Confirm compliance with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives during procurement. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified RthJA values for the intended application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 36 V reference within the SMA footprint. Evaluate thermal constraints carefully, as power dissipation drops significantly if the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance exceeds 100 K/W. Verify that the 40 Ohm dynamic resistance meets the regulation requirements for the specific load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZG03C-Series, which covers a wide voltage range from 10 V to 270 V. All devices in this series share the same DO-214AC case geometry and mechanical weight of approximately 77 mg. The series is designed to fit onto standard 5 mm SMD footpads, facilitating automated assembly in compact electronic designs.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the DO-214AC package and 36 V Zener voltage. Verify that alternative components support similar power dissipation ratings and dynamic resistance characteristics to ensure circuit performance parity.
