PZU3.6B2L-QYL

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The PZU3.6B2L-QYL is a single Zener diode manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., designed for general-purpose voltage regulation applications. It is housed in an SOD882 leadless ultra-small Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package, which is suitable for space-constrained surface-mounted designs. The device features a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a tolerance series 'B2', indicating approximately ±2% accuracy. It is qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards and is recommended for use in automotive applications. Key electrical characteristics include a total power dissipation of 250 mW and a non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of up to 40 W.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -QYL against official Nexperia documentation to confirm it denotes the correct tape-and-reel packaging configuration and automotive grade qualification. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tolerance series B2 and package type SOD882. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity, as generic listings may not reflect the exact suffix specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.6 V reference is needed in a minimal footprint. The SOD882 package offers a compact solution for dense PCB layouts. The AEC-Q101 qualification makes it suitable for automotive environments where reliability is critical. Consider the 250 mW power dissipation limit for thermal management in the final design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's PZU series of single Zener diodes, which are designed for general-purpose voltage regulation. The series includes various voltage options and tolerance grades, all available in small SMD packages like SOD882 and SOD323F. The PZU3.6B2L-QYL specifically targets applications requiring tight voltage tolerance and automotive-grade reliability in a miniature form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3.6 V Zener voltage, SOD882 package, and AEC-Q101 qualification. Other Nexperia parts from the PZU3.6B2L family with different suffixes may differ only in packaging or reel specifications. Verify that any alternative maintains the same ±2% tolerance and power dissipation ratings.
