BZX384B15-G3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX384B15-G3-08 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors, housed in an SOD-323-2 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device dissipates up to 200 mW and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 nA, a Zener impedance of 30 Ohms, and a test current of 5 mA. The voltage temperature coefficient is specified at 950 uV/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

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

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3-08 to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm that the BZX384B series designation matches the required ±2% tolerance rather than the standard ±5% variant. Ensure the SOD-323-2 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 V reference with strict ±2% accuracy is required in a small form factor. The B-series designation indicates tighter tolerance compared to C-series parts. Consider the 200 mW power dissipation limit and thermal management requirements for the operating environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX384-G series of low-power voltage regulator diodes from Vishay. The series offers normalized E24 values in both ±2% (B) and ±5% (C) tolerances. These diodes are designed for general-purpose regulation in compact electronic devices utilizing SMD technology.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay BZX384B15 variants such as BZX384B15-E3-08 or BZX384B15-HE3-08, provided the package and tolerance specifications remain identical.
