BZX384B10-G3-18

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX384B10-G3-18 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device is designed for surface mount installation in the SOD-323 (SC-76) package, offering a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 200 nA and a Zener impedance of 20 ohms at a test current of 5 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance for stable reference applications.
• Utilizes compact SOD-323 surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs.
• Ensures low leakage current performance suitable for sensitive circuitry.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation functions
• Voltage reference circuits
• Protection against overvoltage transients

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3-18 to confirm RoHS compliance and reel packaging format. Ensure the design accommodates the SOD-323 footprint and thermal requirements for 200 mW dissipation. Cross-reference the exact part number with manufacturer documentation to confirm availability and lead times for this specific Vishay variant.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 V reference with high precision is required in a small form factor. The ±2% tolerance distinguishes it from standard 5% variants. Consider the 200 mW power rating and operating temperature range relative to the application environment. Verify compatibility with automated assembly processes for SMD components.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX384 series of low-power voltage regulator diodes. The series offers normalized E24 values in both ±2% (B-type) and ±5% (C-type) tolerances. These diodes are engineered for general regulation tasks where size and cost efficiency are critical, utilizing silicon planar technology encapsulated in plastic SMD packages.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts within the BZX384 series include BZX384B10-E3-18 and BZX384B10-HE3-18. Verify that substitute options maintain the same 10 V nominal voltage, ±2% tolerance, and SOD-323 package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the PCB layout.
