Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official Microchip channels or authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates non-compliance. Ensure the specific DO-213AA package matches PCB layout requirements. Validate that the ±7% voltage tolerance aligns with design specifications before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 27 V reference is required in a small surface mount form factor. Consider the ±7% tolerance if tighter precision is not critical. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 800 mW dissipation limit. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the SMD package type.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZV55 series of surface mount silicon Zener diodes. The series offers a comprehensive range of voltages and power options for commercial and industrial use.
