BZT52B16-G3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZT52B16-G3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode from Vishay Semiconductors, housed in an SOD-123 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at ambient temperature and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a reverse leakage current of 100 nA maximum and a dynamic impedance of 40 Ω at the test current.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for stable voltage regulation
• Offers high precision with a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Designed for compact surface-mount applications via SOD-123 packaging

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel quantity and compliance status. Ensure that the procurement specifications align with the required thermal resistance values and moisture sensitivity level for the intended manufacturing process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a tighter voltage tolerance than standard commercial grades is necessary. The SOD-123 footprint allows for automated assembly in space-constrained designs. Confirm that the operating environment stays within the specified thermal limits to maintain the rated power dissipation capabilities.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZT52-G series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide range of voltages using E24 grading standards. The 'B' designation specifically indicates the 2% tolerance variant, distinguishing it from the standard 5% tolerance 'C' grade devices within the same product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same tolerance class include other BZT52B16 variants from Vishay or equivalent 16V Zener diodes in SOD-123 packages from other manufacturers, provided they meet the 500 mW power rating and ±2% tolerance requirements.
