Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3-18 against official Vishay documentation to confirm packaging details and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tolerance and package type before procurement. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current product availability and lead times.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 V reference with ±5% accuracy is required in space-constrained designs. The SOD-323 package suits automated surface-mount assembly processes. Consider the 200 mW power rating for thermal management in the final application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX384 series of low-power voltage regulator diodes. The series includes various voltage options encapsulated in the small SOD323 plastic SMD package. The 'C' designation indicates the approximate ±5% tolerance range, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2% B-series variants within the same family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay BZX384C30 variants such as BZX384C30-E3-18 or BZX384C30-G3-08, provided the package and electrical specifications match.
