Product details
Overview
TLZ3V3B-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a precision small-signal Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and reference applications, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 3.32–3.53 V at 20 mA test current, dynamic resistance of 70 Ω max, reverse leakage current ≤10 μA at 1 V, and power dissipation up to 500 mW in MiniMELF (SOD-80) package. It delivers high stability and low noise in compact power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLZ3V3B-GS08 datasheet, TLZ3V3B-GS08 pinout, TLZ3V3B-GS08 application, or TLZ3V3B-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 3.32–3.53 V Zener tolerance, 70 Ω dynamic impedance, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak temperature.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with sharp knee characteristics and low noise, optimized for stable DC voltage reference generation. Its thermal resistance (RthJA) is 500 K/W on standard PCBs, and junction temperature is rated to 175 °C.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 3.3 V (≈−2 × 10−4/K), enabling predictable drift compensation in analog references. It is specified for pulse and continuous operation with IZ = Ptot/VZ, supporting reliable regulation across industrial ambient temperatures (−65 to +175 °C storage).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C3V3-TR | Higher dynamic resistance (100 Ω max), wider VZ tolerance (3.14–3.47 V), DO-35 package (larger footprint) | Less suitable for space-constrained PCBs; higher impedance limits transient response in fast-switching supplies | Prefer TLZ3V3B-GS08 where board area, low ZZ, and tighter VZ tolerance are critical |
| MMSZ4685-TP | SOD-123 package (rectangular), same VZ range but higher leakage (≤50 μA), no MSL Level 1 rating | Requires baking before reflow; less stable in high-reliability medical/industrial settings | Choose TLZ3V3B-GS08 for MSL Level 1 handling, lower leakage, and superior long-term stability |

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for TLZ3V3B-GS08 at 20 mA test current?
The TLZ3V3B-GS08 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.32 V minimum to 3.53 V maximum when tested at IZT = 20 mA and Tamb = 25 °C. This tight 0.21 V span reflects its Grade B tolerance within the TLZ-Series family and supports high-accuracy reference design without post-calibration trimming.
Does TLZ3V3B-GS08 require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
No - TLZ3V3B-GS08 is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and can undergo standard lead-free reflow (peak 260 °C) without pre-baking. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates moisture-related defects such as popcorning during assembly.
Can TLZ3V3B-GS08 be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes - TLZ3V3B-GS08 supports storage from −65 °C to +175 °C and operates with junction temperature up to 175 °C. Its MiniMELF package and Vishay's AEC-Q200-qualified process make it suitable for non-safety-critical under-hood functions like body control module voltage monitoring and sensor biasing.
How does the dynamic resistance of TLZ3V3B-GS08 affect its regulation performance?
With dynamic resistance ≤70 Ω at 20 mA, TLZ3V3B-GS08 maintains minimal output voltage deviation under varying load currents - for example, a 1 mA change in Zener current causes only ~70 mV shift in VZ. This low ZZ ensures stable reference behavior in precision analog circuits where supply ripple rejection matters.
Is TLZ3V3B-GS08 compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes - the MiniMELF (SOD-80) package features a distinct cathode band and consistent cylindrical geometry, enabling reliable detection by standard AOI systems. Its marking code "3B3" is laser-etched for high contrast, supporting traceability and defect detection during post-SMT inspection.
