BZV55-C6V8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZV55-C6V8 is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor. It features a MiniMELF glass case (SOD-80) package with two terminals and unidirectional polarity. The device provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. It has a maximum power dissipation of 0.5 W and a maximum dynamic impedance of 25 Ω at the specified test current. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to 175 °C and is constructed using glass encapsulation for hermetic sealing.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Silicon planar construction designed for high reliability in stabilizing and clipping circuits
• Hermetically sealed MiniMELF glass case suitable for small-scale, high-density designs
• Voltage grading according to international E24 standards for consistent performance

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference functions
• Clipping circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the datasheet, as the BZV55-C6V8 part number is also produced by other vendors such as Nexperia and TDK. Confirm that the specific Good-Ark Semiconductor version matches the required SOD-80 package dimensions and electrical characteristics before procurement. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your project requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, surface-mount Zener diode is required for general regulation tasks. The ±5% tolerance makes it suitable for applications where precise voltage referencing is not critical. Consider the 0.5 W power rating and thermal constraints during PCB layout to ensure stable operation under continuous load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the BZV55 series of low-power voltage regulator diodes. The series offers a wide working voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V in normalized E24 values. It is designed for use in compact electronic designs requiring reliable voltage clamping or reference capabilities in a small form factor package.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include BZV55-C6V8 from Nexperia and TDK. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence, particularly the Zener voltage tolerance and power dissipation ratings, before substituting.
