BZX8450-C3V3VL

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia BZX8450-C3V3VL is a low-current voltage regulator diode housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with approximately ±5% tolerance, specified at a test current of 50 µA. The device supports a total power dissipation of up to 250 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 7.5 µA at 5 mA and a differential resistance of 600 Ω.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Designed for low bias and portable battery-powered applications due to specification at a low test current of 50 µA.
• Optimized fast switching and noise reduction achieved through intentional minor rise of leakage current.
• Compact SOT-23 plastic package suitable for space-constrained surface-mounted designs.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Low-current general regulation functions
• Portable battery-powered circuitry
• Low bias voltage reference applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VL' against the official Nexperia ordering information table, as standard datasheets typically list 'R' or 'Z' for reel/cut-tape packaging. Confirm that the requested variant matches the exact marking code and package dimensions defined in the product data sheet to ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring precise voltage regulation under minimal current draw. The low test current specification makes it suitable for energy-efficient designs where quiescent current must be minimized. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation limits during transient events.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX8450 series of low-power voltage regulator diodes from Nexperia. The series offers various breakdown voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 51 V across different tolerance grades. The SOT-23 package provides a compact footprint for modern electronic assemblies requiring high-density mounting.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include BZX8450-C3V3. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when replacing with other manufacturers' SOT-23 Zener diodes to ensure equivalent performance in low-current regulation scenarios.
