BZG03C15

BZG03C15 is a Zener diode from the BZG03C15 series by On Semiconductor, designed for voltage regulation and surge protection. It has a nominal Zener voltage of 15V with ±6% tolerance, and can dissipate up to 1.5W of DC power at a lead temperature of 75°C. The device also features a peak power rating of 600W for 100µs pulses, making it suitable for transient surge suppression.

The diode offers a forward voltage of 1.2V at 500mA, a reverse leakage current of 1µA at 11V, and a forward surge current of 40A. It has an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16kV) per Human Body Model and a response time of typically less than 1ns. The operating temperature range is -65°C to 150°C, with a thermal resistance of 50°C/W junction-to-lead and a derating factor of 20mW/°C above 75°C.

The BZG03C15 is housed in a surface mount DO-214AC (SMA) package, which is Pb-Free, Halogen Free, and RoHS compliant per the datasheet. It is suitable for use in communication systems, automotive, industrial controls, medical equipment, and power supplies. The package is designed for accurate placement and supports top slide or bottom circuit board mounting.
