BZV55-C20,115

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZV55-C20,115 is a low-power voltage regulator diode housed in a small hermetically sealed glass SOD80C surface-mounted device package. It belongs to the normalized E24 series with an approximate ±5% tolerance range and offers a nominal working voltage of 20 V. The component supports a total power dissipation of up to 500 mW at a junction temperature of 50 °C or lower. It features a non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation capability of 40 W under specified surge conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable reference voltage near 20 V is required in space-constrained designs. The ±5% tolerance suits applications where tight precision is not critical. Ensure thermal management allows for 500 mW dissipation without exceeding the maximum junction temperature limits defined in the datasheet.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part is a member of the BZV55 series, which comprises 37 types covering nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The series provides options in both ±2% (BZV55-B) and ±5% (BZV55-C) tolerances, all utilizing the same SOD80C package footprint for design flexibility across different voltage requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Other BZV55-C variants within the same series share identical packaging and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their nominal Zener voltage ratings.
