🔷 Zener Diode 36V 0.5W DO-35 — High Voltage Protection and Clamping
Zener Diode 36V 0.5W is a precision voltage regulation diode designed to maintain a stable reverse voltage of 36 volts. Encapsulated in a robust DO‑35 axial glass package, this Zener diode is perfect for high-voltage reference circuits, power supply protection, and voltage clamping in industrial and communication electronics. The Zener Diode 36V 0.5W combines tight tolerance, low leakage, and reliable thermal stability needed for demanding designs.
What is Zener Diode 36V 0.5W?
The Zener Diode 36V 0.5W belongs to the BZX55C series. It holds its reverse breakdown at exactly 36 V with ±5% accuracy, making it ideal for reference-voltage generation, crowbar circuits, surge suppression, and high-voltage switch protection. Its rating of 0.5 W ensures moderate power dissipation, while its DO‑35 form factor offers easy integration into discrete or protoboard applications.
Key Features and Benefits of Zener Diode 36V 0.5W
- Accurate 36 V Regulation
The nominal 36 V Zener voltage, with a tolerance of ±5%, allows the Zener Diode 36V 0.5W to act as a stable voltage clamp—perfect for analog circuitry and sensor supply references. - Reliable Power Handling
With a 500 mW dissipation rating, this diode offers protection against small to moderate voltage surges and is suitable for use in shunt regulator topologies, pilot circuits, and amplifier bias stabilization. - Low Leakage Current
Featuring reverse leakage below 5 µA at 30 V, the Zener Diode 36V 0.5W reduces undesired current flow that can degrade battery life or introduce noise in precision systems. - Low Zener Impedance
With Zzt around 30 Ω, it ensures tighter voltage regulation compared to high-impedance options, especially under dynamic load. - Compact DO‑35 Package
The glass axial package is rated for reliable operation across −55 °C to +150 °C, suitable for extreme environments. The black band indicates cathode, preventing assembly errors.
