FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZX584C18-HG3-08?
The BZX584C18-HG3-08 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, meaning its nominal 18 V rating spans 16.8 V to 19.1 V at 5 mA test current. This tight tolerance enables precise voltage clamping in automotive and industrial circuits where regulatory margins are constrained. The BZX584C18-HG3-08 achieves this specification under AEC-Q101 stress conditions, ensuring consistency across temperature and lifetime.
Is BZX584C18-HG3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, BZX584C18-HG3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic systems including body control modules, lighting drivers, and sensor interfaces. The "HG3" suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and RoHS compliance. This certification covers stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - all validated per the BZX584C-Series qualification report. BZX584C18-HG3-08 meets these requirements in its native SOD-523 package.
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX584C18-HG3-08 on a standard PCB?
The BZX584C18-HG3-08 is rated for 200 mW power dissipation when mounted on an FR-4 board using Vishay's recommended soldering footprint. With a 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad, its rating increases to 300 mW due to improved thermal conduction. The device's RthJA of 600 K/W (recommended layout) means a 120 °C junction-to-ambient rise occurs at full 200 mW - so derating is advised above 75 °C ambient. BZX584C18-HG3-08 must be applied within these thermal limits to ensure 150 °C maximum junction temperature.
Does BZX584C18-HG3-08 have moisture sensitivity limitations?
No, BZX584C18-HG3-08 carries MSL level 1 rating per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and may be placed directly into reflow without dry-packaging or baking. This is enabled by its SOD-523 package construction using UL 94 V-0 molding compound and controlled internal moisture content. The MSL level 1 classification applies specifically to the BZX584C18-HG3-08 variant and is verified in Vishay's qualification testing - simplifying manufacturing logistics for high-mix automotive lines.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX584C18-HG3-08?
The BZX584C18-HG3-08 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 μA at VR = 16.8 V (0.7 × VZ,nom). This ultra-low leakage supports energy-sensitive applications like battery-backed sensors and wearables. Measured at 25 °C, the value remains below 0.1 μA across the full -65 °C to +150 °C storage range. This parameter is guaranteed for every BZX584C18-HG3-08 unit and forms part of its AEC-Q101 test suite.
