MMBZ5240C-E3-08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MMBZ5240C-E3-08 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance of ±2%. The device is designed for surface-mount installation in an SOT-23-3 package, offering a maximum power dissipation of 225 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with tight ±2% tolerance
• Compact SOT-23-3 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs
• Operates reliably across extended industrial temperature ranges

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable DC levels
• Over-voltage protection stages in sensitive electronics
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3-08 against current manufacturer documentation to confirm availability status. Confirm that the ±2% tolerance variant matches design requirements, as other tolerance options exist within the same family. Ensure compatibility with standard SOT-23-3 footprints during layout verification.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, high-precision 10 V reference is needed in a small outline transistor package. Compare leakage current specifications against circuit sensitivity requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 225 mW dissipation limit in the target application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MMBZ524x series of Zener diodes from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings and tolerance grades in the SOT-23-3 package. The C-suffix typically denotes tighter voltage tolerance compared to B-suffix variants within the same voltage class.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MMBZ5240B-E3-08 (±5% tolerance) or MMBZ5240C-E3-18 (different packaging). Cross-manufacturer equivalents such as BZX84C10LT1G may require pinout and thermal verification.
