Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer origin, as the BZV55 series is produced by multiple vendors including onsemi and Kuwait Semiconductor. Confirm that the DO-213AA-2 package designation aligns with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your assembly standards before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 8.2 V reference is required with low leakage characteristics. The 500 mW power rating supports moderate current loads in small form factors. Verify thermal management needs against the specified operating temperature limits to ensure long-term reliability in the target environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZV55 series of Zener diodes, widely used for general-purpose regulation. While specifications like impedance and leakage vary slightly between manufacturers such as Microchip and onsemi, the core function remains consistent. The series offers various voltage options within a standardized package for flexible design integration.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

BZX55C8V2 and BZV55-C8V2 are documented equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and exact electrical tolerances, particularly leakage current and impedance, which may differ between Microchip and other producers like onsemi or Kuwait Semiconductor.
