PZU84-C20R

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Nexperia PZU84-C20R is a general-purpose Zener voltage regulator diode housed in a small SOT23 surface-mounted device plastic package. It features an approximately ±5% tolerance series and operates within a nominal working voltage range of 2.4 V to 51 V. The component has a total power dissipation of 250 mW and a non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W. It supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C and storage temperatures from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• General-purpose Zener diodes in a small SOT23 Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package
• Two tolerance series: ± 2 % and approximately ± 5 %
• Wide working voltage range: nominal 2.4 V to 51 V (E24 range)
• Intentional minor rise of leakage current for optimized fast switching and noise reduction

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General regulation functions

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm reel packaging specifications, as standard datasheets may not detail tape-and-reel dimensions. Confirm the exact marking code '%LY' matches the intended production batch. Ensure design compliance with absolute maximum ratings before integration.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring general voltage regulation within the E24 range. The C-series designation indicates approximately ±5% tolerance. Consider the intentional leakage current rise for high-speed switching needs. Verify thermal management requirements given the 250 mW power dissipation limit in free air.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the PZU84 series of Zener voltage regulator diodes manufactured by Nexperia. The series offers various breakdown voltages from 2.4 V to 51 V in the compact SOT23 package. It is designed for surface-mount assembly, providing a space-efficient solution for low-power regulation tasks in consumer and industrial electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PZU84-C20 variants or BZX84-C20 if tolerance and package compatibility allow. Verify pinout alignment and thermal characteristics when cross-referencing with similar Zener diodes from other manufacturers.
