BZX84C3V6LT1G

BZX84C3V6LT1G is a Zener diode from the BZX84 family. It provides a stabilized reverse breakdown around 3.6 V for low-power voltage regulation and over‑voltage protection in compact SMD circuits.
Key points
- Type: Zener diode (two terminals: cathode marked, anode)
- Zener voltage: nominal ~3.6 V (tolerance typically ±5%)
- Package: small SMD (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) with marking LT1G
- Power rating: about 0.5 W class; suitable for low-current regulation
- Operating: reverse-biased clamp; useful as reference or protection element
Typical uses
- Regulate or clamp voltages in microcontroller and sensor circuits
- Provide a simple voltage reference
- Protect inputs from voltage excursions
How to use
- Connect a resistor in series with the diode from the supply to the node you want to clamp/reference; ensure the Zener current stays within IZ and IZM ratings to achieve VZ without overheating.
