Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Diodes Incorporated documentation to confirm exact manufacturing specifications and compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required package dimensions and thermal characteristics for the target design. Cross-reference datasheet values for voltage tolerance and leakage current to validate suitability for precise application requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V regulation point is required within a 500 mW power budget. The SOD-123-2 package offers a balance between power handling and board space efficiency compared to smaller packages like SOD-523. Consider the positive temperature coefficient at this voltage level for thermal stability in varying operating environments.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZT52C series of general-purpose Zener diodes from Diodes Incorporated. The series covers a wide range of voltage ratings from low voltages up to higher levels, all sharing similar packaging and construction standards. This specific model represents the 36 V variant within that extensive lineup.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' SOD-123 packaged 36 V Zener diodes with comparable 500 mW ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent electrical parameters such as impedance and leakage current are met for functional interchangeability.
