BZX84C36-E3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay BZX84C36-E3-08 is a silicon planar Zener diode in the BZX84 series, housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates at a test current of 2 mA and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 µA at 25.2 V. Electrical characteristics include a dynamic resistance of 90 Ω and a temperature coefficient ranging from 8 to 10 x 10⁻⁴/°C. It supports power dissipation up to 500 mW and functions within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific voltage tolerance and packaging requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details against project specifications. Ensure the component meets the required moisture sensitivity level and soldering thermal profiles during assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V reference is needed in a compact SOT-23 footprint. Consider the ±5% tolerance and 2 mA test current for circuit design accuracy. Evaluate the thermal resistance and power derating curves if operating near maximum ambient temperatures.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay BZX84 series of small signal Zener diodes. The 'C' designation indicates the standard ±5% voltage tolerance grade. The '-E3-08' suffix specifies RoHS-compliant commercial-grade materials and tape-and-reel packaging on a 7-inch reel.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 36 V nominal voltage, SOT-23 package, and ±5% tolerance. Verify equivalent dynamic resistance and leakage current limits to ensure circuit performance remains within acceptable bounds.
