The recommended footprint for BZX84-C51,215 is a standard SOD523 package with a footprint of 1.3mm x 0.8mm.
While the BZX84-C51,215 has a maximum operating temperature of 150°C, it's recommended to derate the voltage and current ratings above 125°C to ensure reliable operation.
It's recommended to follow standard ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the devices in anti-static packaging to prevent damage.
Yes, the BZX84-C51,215 can be used in switching power supplies, but ensure that the voltage and current ratings are not exceeded, and consider the device's reverse recovery time and capacitance when designing the circuit.
NXP recommends a soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C, a dwell time of 10-30 seconds, and a cooling rate of 4°C/s to prevent thermal shock.
