BZG03C15TR

The BZG03C15TR is a 15V Zener diode from Vishay Dale, part of the BZG03C-Series. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 15V with a range of 13.8V to 15.6V and a tolerance of ±6%. Power dissipation is rated at 1.25W under typical conditions (RthJA < 100 K/W, Tamb = 50°C) and up to 3W with improved thermal management (RthJA < 25 K/W, Tamb = 100°C). The device can handle non-repetitive peak surge power of 600W for 100 µs square pulses. Dynamic impedance is 10 Ω maximum at 50 mA test current. Reverse leakage current is 1 µA maximum at 11 V. Forward voltage is 1.2 V maximum at 0.5 A. The temperature coefficient of Zener voltage ranges from 0.05 %/K to 0.1 %/K. Operating junction temperature is up to 150°C, with storage temperature from -65°C to +150°C. The diode is housed in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface mount package weighing approximately 77 mg. It is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Typical applications include voltage stabilization in power supplies and overvoltage protection circuits.
