BZX84C3V6LT1G

BZX84C3V6LT1G is a small Zener diode (3.6 V) in the BZX84C family, designed for low‑power regulation and clamping.
Key points
- Type: Zener diode, reverse-biased to clamp/regulate around 3.6 V.
- Package and rating: SOT-23, ~0.5 W power rating; RoHS-compliant; LT1G suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant.
- Typical specifications: Vz ≈ 3.6 V at a defined test current (IZT); tolerance usually around ±5%.
- Applications: simple voltage regulation, voltage references, over-voltage protection, and transient clamping in low-current circuits.
- Connection: connect cathode to the higher potential and anode to ground to clamp at ~3.6 V.
Notes
- Check the datasheet for exact IZT, dynamic impedance, and maximum reverse voltage.
- Choose this device when you need a compact, inexpensive 3.6 V reference/clamp in a small PCB.
