• General regulation functions

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QX' against the manufacturer's current ordering information to confirm packaging details such as tape and reel specifications. Ensure the component meets the required AEC-Q101 qualification standards for your intended automotive or industrial application before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact footprint is required for low-power voltage regulation. The C-series designation indicates a 5% voltage tolerance, suitable for applications where tighter precision is not critical. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and PCB copper area requirements for optimal heat dissipation during operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the BZX585-Q series of voltage regulator diodes manufactured by Nexperia. The series offers various nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V in the same SOD523 package. The 'C' variant specifically denotes the 5% tolerance band, distinguishing it from the B variant which offers 2% tolerance.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other BZX585-C3V6 variants from different manufacturers that match the SOD523 package and 3.6 V Zener voltage. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as power dissipation and tolerance before substitution.
