BZG05C4V7-M3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZG05C4V7-M3-08 is a unidirectional voltage regulator diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V and a steady-state power dissipation rating of 1.25 W. The component utilizes silicon technology and is housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount plastic package with two terminals. It is designed for operation up to a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and complies with RoHS directives, indicating it is lead-free.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction in a compact DO-214AC (SMA) molded plastic case
• Glass-passivated junction for enhanced reliability
• Lead-free terminal finish compatible with Pb-free soldering processes

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in electronic circuits
• Overvoltage protection applications
• Reference voltage generation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M3-08 against official Vishay documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel quantity and packaging configuration. Ensure the component meets the required RoHS compliance standards for your assembly process. Cross-reference the JEDEC DO-214AC footprint dimensions during PCB layout to guarantee mechanical compatibility.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.7 V regulation point is required with a 1.25 W power handling capability in a surface-mount format. The DO-214AC package offers a balance between power dissipation and board space efficiency compared to smaller packages. Consider the 150 °C maximum operating temperature for thermal management in high-temperature environments.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZG05C series of surface-mount glass-passivated Zener diodes from Vishay. The series covers a wide range of Zener voltages from 3.3 V to 15 V, all sharing the same 1.25 W power rating and SMA package style. This standardization simplifies inventory management for designs requiring multiple voltage levels within the same power class.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

The BZG05C4V7-HM3-08 is a confirmed substitute within the same product family. Verify that the HM3 suffix does not introduce differences in termination material or packaging quantity if strict adherence to the M3 specification is required.
