• Totally lead-free and fully RoHS compliant
• Ideally suited for automated assembly processes

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in portable electronics
• General-purpose clipping and clamping circuits
• Reference voltage sources in low-power systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-79' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific tape-and-reel configuration or packaging variant distinct from the standard 'BZX84C5V1-7-F'. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact mechanical and electrical specifications required for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to confirm current production status and any potential obsolescence notices associated with this specific marking code.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.1 V reference is required in a compact SOT-23-3 footprint. The 300 mW to 350 mW power rating supports moderate current loads in space-constrained designs. Consider the ±6% tolerance for general regulation tasks where high precision is not critical. The wide operating temperature range ensures stability in varying environmental conditions typical of consumer electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84C series of surface mount Zener diodes from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers a wide range of Zener voltages from 2.4 V to 51 V in the same SOT-23-3 package. This standardization simplifies inventory management and allows for consistent automated placement across different voltage requirements within the same product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5.1 V Zener diodes in SOT-23 packages such as the BZX84C5V1-7-F or equivalents from manufacturers like ON Semiconductor (MMBZ5V1LT1G) and Nexperia (BZX5CJ5V1). Verify that replacement parts match the 300 mW/350 mW power dissipation and SOT-23-3 pinout compatibility.
