BZX84C10-E3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay BZX84C10-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode in the BZX84 series, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and provides a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW on an FR-4 board. Electrical characteristics include a dynamic resistance of 20 Ω and a reverse leakage current of 0.2 μA at 7 V. It utilizes a compact SOT-23 package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar construction for stable voltage regulation
• Zener voltages graded according to international E24 standards
• ESD capability exceeding 8 kV (human body model) and 800 V (machine model)
• RoHS-compliant commercial grade material categorization

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise potential levels
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the required voltage tolerance and packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements against project specifications. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming the component meets the specified electrical parameters for the intended operating environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 V reference is needed within a small footprint. Consider the ±5% tolerance and 300 mW power rating relative to circuit load. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 250 K/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. Verify compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the SOT-23 form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay BZX84 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series offers a wide range of Zener voltages from 2.2 V to 75 V. The 'E3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while the '-08' suffix specifies the taped reel packaging format containing 3000 units per reel.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 10 V nominal voltage, ±5% tolerance, and SOT-23 package. Verify equivalent power dissipation and dynamic resistance values. Check if alternative manufacturers offer AEC-Q101 qualification if automotive reliability is required.
