Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TAP against official documentation to confirm the ammopack tape format. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards as defined by Vishay. Cross-reference the exact part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.0 V reference is required within a tight ±6% tolerance band. The DO-35 package suits designs needing robust axial leads for through-hole mounting. Consider the negative temperature coefficient inherent to sub-5 V Zener voltages during thermal design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX55 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide range of nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The C-series designation specifically indicates a standard 6% tolerance grading for these miniature glass-encapsulated devices.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include BZX55C3V0-TR and BZX55B3V0. Verify that replacement parts maintain identical DO-35 mechanical dimensions and electrical parameters such as power dissipation and leakage current.
