BZX84C10 datasheet by Rectron Semiconductor

BZX84C10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the BZX84C10?
  The recommended land pattern for the BZX84C10 is a rectangular pad with a size of 1.3mm x 0.8mm, with a solder mask clearance of 0.1mm. This ensures proper soldering and minimizes the risk of solder bridging.
• Can I use the BZX84C10 in a high-temperature environment?
  The BZX84C10 is rated for operation up to 150°C, but it's recommended to derate the voltage and current ratings at higher temperatures. Consult the datasheet for specific derating curves and guidelines.
• How do I handle ESD protection when working with the BZX84C10?
  The BZX84C10 is an ESD-sensitive device. Handle it with ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, and bags. Avoid touching the device's pins or leads, and use anti-static packaging when storing or shipping the device.
• What is the typical lead time for delivery of the BZX84C10?
  The lead time for delivery of the BZX84C10 varies depending on the supplier, quantity, and location. Typically, it ranges from 2-6 weeks for standard orders. Contact the supplier or distributor for a more accurate estimate.
• Can I use the BZX84C10 in a switching power supply?
  The BZX84C10 is a general-purpose zener diode, not designed for high-frequency switching applications. For switching power supplies, consider using a specialized zener diode or a dedicated voltage regulator IC.
