Description

BZX79-C3V6 3.6V Zener Diode

The BZX79-C3V6 Zener Diode provides a nominal 3.6V breakdown voltage. It helps regulate voltage and protect sensitive circuit inputs from excessive voltage.

The axial leads make the diode suitable for breadboards and through-hole PCBs. In addition, the glass DO-35 package provides a compact solution for electronic circuits.

Key Features

  • Provides a nominal 3.6V Zener voltage
  • Offers a maximum power rating of 500mW
  • Uses a ±5% voltage tolerance
  • Comes in a compact DO-35 glass package
  • Supports through-hole PCB mounting
  • Works in voltage-reference circuits
  • Helps clamp and limit excessive voltage
  • Suits prototyping and educational projects

Technical Specifications

  • Part Number: BZX79-C3V6
  • Component Type: Zener voltage-regulator diode
  • Nominal Zener Voltage: 3.6V
  • Zener Voltage Range: 3.4V–3.8V
  • Voltage Tolerance: Approximately ±5%
  • Test Current: 5mA
  • Maximum Power Dissipation: 500mW
  • Mounting Type: Through-hole
  • Package: DO-35 / SOD27
  • Number of Leads: Two
  • Polarity Marking: Cathode band

Polarity Identification

  • Cathode: The side marked with a band
  • Anode: The side without a band

For voltage regulation, connect the cathode toward the positive supply. Then, connect the anode toward ground.

Applications

Use the BZX79-C3V6 for:

  • Voltage regulation
  • Voltage-reference circuits
  • Input overvoltage protection
  • Signal clamping
  • Voltage limiting
  • Transistor protection
  • Power supply circuits
  • Arduino input protection
  • Prototyping and educational circuits

Basic Connection

  1. Identify the cathode using the printed band.
  2. Connect a suitable series resistor.
  3. Connect the cathode toward the positive voltage.
  4. Connect the anode toward ground.
  5. Keep the diode power below its maximum rating.

Important Notes

  • Always use a current-limiting resistor.
  • Do not connect the diode directly across a power supply.
  • Calculate the resistor according to the input voltage and required current.
  • Keep the power dissipation below 500mW.
  • Observe the correct polarity during installation.
  • Actual voltage depends on current and operating temperature.
