Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging type, as commercial versions use -7-F or -13-F while automotive qualified versions use Q-7-F or Q-13-F. Confirm the specific tape and reel quantity aligns with production needs. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Check date codes for manufacturing history requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.6 V reference is needed in a compact SOD123 footprint. Consider the negative temperature coefficient of -3.5 mV/°C for thermal stability requirements. Evaluate power dissipation limits based on ambient temperature derating curves. Verify that the 5 mA test current aligns with the operating conditions of the target circuit design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZT52C2V0 through BZT52C51 series of surface mount Zener diodes. The series offers various voltage options from 2.0 V to 51 V in the same SOD123 case style. All devices share common mechanical data including molded plastic material and matte tin finish terminals over an alloy 42 leadframe.
