BZX384C13-G3-18

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX384C13-G3-18 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device is designed for surface mount installation in an SOD-323 (SC-76) package, offering a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 10 V.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation in low-power applications
• Utilizes compact SMD packaging for space-constrained designs
• Ensures reliable operation across extended industrial temperature ranges

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3-18 against official Vishay documentation to confirm reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required 13 V nominal voltage and ±5% tolerance specifications for the intended circuit design before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13 V reference with moderate precision is required in a small footprint. The SOD-323 package suits automated assembly processes. Consider the 200 mW power rating and thermal characteristics relative to the expected operating conditions and ambient temperature constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX384 series of low-power voltage regulator diodes. The series offers various nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V in the same SOD-323 plastic SMD package. The 'C' designation indicates the approximate ±5% tolerance range, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2% B-series variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other BZX384C13 variants from Vishay, such as BZX384C13-E3-18 or BZX384C13-G3-08, provided the packaging format aligns with manufacturing requirements.
