GSM3Z5V6BW

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Good-Ark Semiconductor GSM3Z5V6BW is a surface-mount Zener diode from the GSM3ZxxBW series, housed in an SOD-323F package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tight ±2% tolerance. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a dynamic impedance of 40 Ω at a test current of 5 mA, a reverse leakage current of 0.9 µA at 2 V, and a forward voltage of 1.0 V maximum at 10 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the B-series tolerance and SOD-323F packaging details. Ensure that the required Zener voltage and power dissipation ratings align with the circuit design specifications before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 5.6 V reference is needed in a compact surface-mount form factor. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for applications demanding tighter voltage accuracy than standard commercial grades. Consider the low dynamic impedance for improved regulation performance under varying load currents.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the GSM3ZxxBW series of surface mount Zener diodes manufactured by Good-Ark Semiconductor. The series covers a broad Zener voltage range from 2.0 V to 75 V, all sharing the same SOD-323F package and 500 mW power rating. The 'B' suffix indicates the high-tolerance variant.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5.6 V nominal voltage, ±2% tolerance, 500 mW power rating, and SOD-323F package. Verify equivalent dynamic impedance and leakage current specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
