PLZ36D-G3/H

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The PLZ36D-G3/H is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with a tolerance of ±3%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates in the DO-219AC (microSMF) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum impedance of 55 Ohms, a reverse leakage current of 200 nA at 23 V, and a forward voltage of 900 mV at 10 mA. It supports a junction temperature up to 150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with tight ±3% tolerance for stable reference applications.
• Designed for compact surface-mount layouts using the microSMF footprint.
• Capable of reliable operation at elevated junction temperatures up to 150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G3/H against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance and material composition. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact voltage and package variant required for the design. Cross-reference the manufacturer product number with official distribution channels to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 V Zener voltage with high precision is needed in a small surface-mount form factor. The 500 mW power rating suits low-current regulation tasks. Consider the 55 Ohm impedance for dynamic load requirements. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified thermal limits and that the microSMF package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the PLZ series of Zener diodes from Vishay. The series offers various voltage options in the DO-219AC package. The PLZ36D-G3/H specifically targets the 30 V segment. It shares common packaging and thermal characteristics with other members of the family while differing in breakdown voltage specifications.
