BZX85C10

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Taiwan Semiconductor BZX85C10 is a single-die silicon planar power Zener diode housed in a DO-41 through-hole package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum DC power dissipation of 1.3 W and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +200 °C. Electrical characteristics include a test current of 25 mA, a maximum dynamic impedance of 7 Ω at the test current, and a maximum leakage current of 0.5 µA.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., R0G or A0G) against the required packing format, as the base part number covers multiple packaging options including reels and ammo boxes. Confirm that the component meets the intended environmental operating conditions, specifically the maximum junction temperature limit of 200 °C during thermal analysis.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 V reference with ±5% tolerance is required in a DO-41 axial leaded package. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 1.3 W power dissipation rating and verify that the 25 mA test current aligns with the application's bias requirements. Consider the 7 Ω dynamic impedance for stability needs in voltage regulation circuits.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the BZX85C series of silicon planar power Zener diodes manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. The series spans voltage ratings from 3.3 V to 56 V, all sharing the same DO-41 mechanical footprint and 1.3 W power dissipation capability. The BZX85C10 represents the specific 10 V variant within this standardized product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' DO-41 Zener diodes rated at 10 V, 1.3 W, and ±5% tolerance. Verify compatibility regarding maximum forward voltage, reverse leakage current, and thermal resistance specifications before substitution.
