MAZ31600ML

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MAZ31600ML is a silicon planar Zener diode from the Panasonic MAZ3000 series, designed for power supply stabilization. It utilizes a Mini3-G1 (EIAJ SC-59) 3-pin surface-mount package with dimensions of 2.8 mm length, 1.5 mm width, and 0.4 mm height. The device provides a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V at a test current of 5 mA, with a tolerance range of 15.7 V to 16.5 V. It features a total power dissipation rating of 200 mW and an average forward current capacity of 100 mA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (L, M, or H) during procurement, as it determines the precise Zener voltage tolerance band for the 16 V nominal value. Confirm that the ordering part number matches the required electrical characteristic table entry in the official datasheet to ensure correct performance parameters are received.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount Zener diode is required for low-power voltage regulation applications. Ensure the design accounts for the 200 mW total power dissipation limit and verify thermal management requirements based on the printed circuit board copper foil area. Consider the negative temperature coefficient inherent to lower voltage Zener diodes if operating over wide temperature ranges.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the MAZ3000 series of silicon planar Zener diodes manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. The series is characterized by its small physical footprint and suitability for standard general-purpose electronics. It serves as a fundamental passive semiconductor component for maintaining stable DC potentials within electronic systems.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers' Mini3-G1 or SC-59 packaged Zener diodes with a 16 V nominal voltage and comparable power ratings. Verify that any substitute component meets the same absolute maximum ratings and electrical tolerances specified in the original datasheet.
