Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with MCC or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the SMA-3 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that the thermal management design accommodates the 3 W power dissipation rating under worst-case operating conditions to maintain reliability.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a higher power rating than standard SMA packages is required for Zener regulation. Compare the 18 Ohm impedance against circuit sensitivity requirements. Consider the SMA-3 footprint constraints relative to available board space. Validate the 5 µA leakage current specification against low-power standby mode requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SMB3EZ series of Zener diodes from Micro Commercial Components. It represents a higher power variant compared to the 1W and 2W versions in the same family, designed for applications demanding greater energy absorption capabilities while maintaining the compact form factor of the SMA-3 surface-mount package.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify compatibility with generic SMA-3 Zener diodes having identical 36 V, 3 W, and 18 Ohm specifications if cross-referencing is necessary.
