BZG05C3V6TR3

The BZG05C3V6TR3 is classified under the diodes – zener – single family. It is a small signal zener diode with a maximum voltage of 3.6V and a 0.15mW power dissipation.

The main application fields for the BZG05C3V6TR3 are in voltage regulation, reverse polarity protection, signal detection and clipping, as well as blanking and clamping. It is also suitable where a regulated low voltage supply is needed.

The working principle behind the BZG05C3V6TR3 is relatively simple. The diode has two electrodes; the anode and the cathode. Under forward bias conditions, the diode allows a current to move from the anode to the cathode. However, when the voltage across the diode reaches the breakdown voltage, electrons start to flow from the cathode to the anode. This reverse current generates a constant voltage drop across the diode, regardless of the amount of power flowing through the diode. This regulated voltage is then used for the application field for which the diode is intended.

The BZG05C3V6TR3 is manufactured using SOT23-3L small outline packages with a maximum power dissipation of 0.15mW. It has a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 5V, and a maximum zener impedance of 7.7ohms @ 4.7V. The diode also offers an operational temperature range of –65°C to +175°C.

In summary, the BZG05C3V6TR3 is a small signal zener diode with a maximum voltage of 3.6V and a 0.15mW power dissipation. Its main application fields are in voltage regulation, reverse polarity protection, signal detection and clipping, as well as blanking and clamping. Its working principle is relatively simple; when a voltage across the diode reaches the breakdown voltage, electrons start flowing from the cathode to the anode, creating a constant voltage drop across the diode.
