BZG05B7V5-M3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZG05B7V5-M3-08 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance of ±2%. The device is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 1.25 W and utilizes the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 13 ohms and a reverse leakage current of 3 µA at 1 V. The forward voltage is specified as 1.2 V at 200 mA, and the component supports a junction temperature up to 150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation with a nominal 7.5 V Zener breakdown.
• Designed for surface-mount assembly in compact DO-214AC packages.
• Capable of handling 1.25 W power dissipation for robust circuit protection.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise 7.5 V levels
• Over-voltage protection in power supply inputs
• Clamping applications in signal conditioning paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M3-08 against official Vishay documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Confirm that the BZG05B series designation aligns with the required ±2% tolerance rather than standard ±5% variants. Ensure the DO-214AC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a tight voltage tolerance of ±2% is required for the 7.5 V Zener point, distinguishing it from the broader BZG05C series which typically offers ±5% tolerance. The 1.25 W power rating in the SMA package allows for higher thermal performance compared to smaller SOD-123 devices. Verify that the 13 ohm impedance specification meets the dynamic regulation requirements of the specific application circuit.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay BZG05 series of axial-equivalent surface mount Zener diodes. The BZG05B sub-series specifically denotes tighter voltage tolerances compared to the standard BZG05C line. These components are designed to replace traditional axial-leaded diodes in modern surface-mount manufacturing processes while maintaining similar electrical performance profiles.
