BZX384B68-G3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX384B68-G3-08 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates within a power dissipation rating of 200 mW and utilizes the SOD-323 (SC-76) package. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C and includes RoHS compliance.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with a narrow ±2% tolerance band for stable reference applications.
• Utilizes a compact SOD-323 surface-mount package to minimize board space requirements.
• Ensures reliable operation across extended industrial temperature ranges up to 150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Voltage reference sources in low-power electronics
• Overvoltage protection in signal lines

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3-08 against official Vishay documentation to confirm lead-free status and reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SOD-323 footprint designs during procurement planning.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68 V reference requires high precision compared to standard 5% tolerance variants. The SOD-323 form factor suits dense PCB layouts where thermal management at 200 mW dissipation is manageable.

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, covering voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V in small plastic SMD packages.
