BZV55-C5V1,115

The BZV55-C5V1,115 is a single Zener diode from Nexperia USA Inc. designed for voltage regulation and reference applications. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1V with a tolerance of ±5%, making it suitable for circuits requiring a stable reference voltage. The diode is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 500mW, allowing it to handle moderate power levels in typical low-power applications.

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 60Ω, a forward voltage of 900mV at a forward current of 10mA, and a reverse leakage current of 2µA at a reverse voltage of 2V. These parameters define the diode's behavior in both forward and reverse bias conditions, enabling designers to predict its performance in voltage clamping and regulation circuits.

The device is housed in a DO-213AC (SOD-80) surface-mount package, also known as MINI-MELF, with a supplier device package designation of LLDS. It is designed for surface-mount assembly, which facilitates automated manufacturing and compact PCB layouts. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C ensures reliable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions.

This Zener diode is commonly used in power supply regulation, voltage reference, and overvoltage protection circuits. Its small package and surface-mount design make it suitable for space-constrained applications in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and other electronic systems requiring precise voltage regulation.
