BZX384B5V6-E3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX384B5V6-E3-08 is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device is designed for surface mount installation in an SOD-323 (SC-76) plastic package, measuring approximately 1.6 mm in length and 0.9 mm in width. It features a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW at 25°C ambient temperature and operates within a junction temperature range up to 150°C. The component complies with RoHS directives and utilizes lead-free terminations.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation performance
• Encapsulated in a compact SOD-323 surface-mount package for space-efficient PCB layouts
• Offers high precision with a standardized ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Compliant with environmental standards including RoHS and WEEE directives

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation functions in electronic circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3-08 to confirm lead-free composition and reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with standard SOD-323 footprints during schematic capture. Cross-reference datasheet electrical characteristics against circuit requirements to validate thermal management needs under maximum power dissipation conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is required in minimal board space. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for applications demanding tighter accuracy than standard ±5% variants. Consider the 200 mW power rating to ensure adequate heat dissipation in the final assembly environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX384-V-Series of small signal Zener diodes from Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers normalized E24 voltage values ranging from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'B' designation indicates the ±2% tolerance grade, distinguishing it from the 'C' grade which offers approximately ±5% tolerance. All devices in this family share the same SOD-323 mechanical footprint.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay BZX384B5V6 variants with different packaging codes or termination finishes, provided they maintain the SOD-323 package and 5.6 V / ±2% specifications.
