VLZ39C-GS08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The VLZ39C-GS08 is a single Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 36.93 V and a power dissipation rating of 500 mW. The component utilizes the SOD-80 QuadroMELF surface-mount package. It is designed for operation within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• QuadroMELF surface-mount construction for compact circuit integration
• High thermal stability supporting elevated junction temperatures
• Automotive-grade qualification ensuring reliability in demanding environments

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable regulation
• Overvoltage protection stages in automotive electronics
• Clamping applications in signal conditioning paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 corresponds to the SOD-80 QuadroMELF package configuration. Confirm AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status matches project requirements. Ensure the 36.93 V nominal voltage aligns with circuit design specifications before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 500 mW Zener diode in a small surface-mount form factor is required. The SOD-80 package offers robust mechanical stability compared to standard SOD packages. Consider the 36.93 V nominal voltage for precise reference needs rather than standard integer values.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the VLZ series of single Zener diodes from Vishay. The series provides various voltage options in the SOD-80 QuadroMELF package. These components are designed for high-reliability applications, including automotive systems, where space constraints and thermal performance are critical factors.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts in the VLZ series with matching voltage and package, such as VLZ39A-GS08 or VLZ39B-GS08, depending on tolerance requirements. Cross-brand replacements must match the SOD-80 footprint and 500 mW power rating.
