BZX84C3V6 TR PBFREE

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX84C3V6 TR PBFREE is a surface mount silicon Zener diode from the Central Semiconductor BZX84C series, housed in an SOT-23 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a tolerance range of 3.4 V to 3.8 V at a test current of 5.0 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 350 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 90 Ω at the test current and a reverse leakage current of 5.0 μA at 1.0 V.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'TR' corresponds to the required reel size (7-inch or 13-inch) as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm the 'PBFREE' designation aligns with lead-free plating requirements. Ensure the component marking code matches the specific part number to validate authenticity and correct voltage rating before integration into production.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.6 V reference is required in a space-constrained design. The SOT-23 package facilitates high-density PCB layouts. Consider the 350 mW power dissipation limit and the 90 Ω impedance at low currents to ensure stability in the target circuit environment. Verify compatibility with the operating temperature range of the final assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the BZX84C series, which covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 47 V. All members of this series share the same SOT-23 mechanical outline and general maximum ratings, differing primarily in their specific Zener voltage breakdown points and associated impedance values defined in the electrical characteristics table.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers offering Zener diodes in the SOT-23 package with a 3.6 V nominal voltage and similar 350 mW power rating. Verify that substitute parts meet the same electrical limits for impedance and leakage current to maintain circuit performance.
