BZT03C16V – VISHAY

The Vishay BZT03C16V is a 1.3W planar diffused silicon Zener diode designed for voltage stabilization applications requiring a stable clamping voltage. This device features a nominal Zener voltage of 16V, offering precise voltage regulation in a variety of circuit designs. It’s capable of handling a surge current of up to 30A for 8.3ms, providing robust protection against transient voltage spikes. Packaged in a DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount format, it’s ideal for automated assembly processes. The BZT03C16V operates reliably across a temperature range of –65°C to +175°C. Its low dynamic impedance and tight voltage tolerance make it suitable for use in power supplies, overvoltage protection circuits, and signal conditioning applications, offering superior performance compared to standard Zener diodes in demanding environments.
