Instructions for Using BZX84-C30:

1. Voltage Rating:

   • Ensure that the maximum reverse voltage (VR) does not exceed 30V.
   • The maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) is 36V, but continuous operation should not exceed 30V.

2. Current Handling:

   • The maximum average rectified forward current (IF(AV)) at 25°C is 5mA. This value drops to 2.5mA at 75°C.
   • For non-repetitive peak forward current (IFSM), the device can handle up to 500mA for a short duration (10ms) at 25°C.

3. Temperature Considerations:

   • The maximum junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C. Ensure that the device does not exceed this temperature during operation.
   • The storage temperature range (TSTG) is from -65°C to 150°C.
   • The operating temperature range (TOPR) is also from -65°C to 150°C.

4. Thermal Management:

   • The thermal resistance from the junction to ambient (RθJA) is 300 K/W. Proper heat sinking may be required if the device is expected to dissipate significant power.

5. Mounting and Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage to the component.

6. Circuit Design:

   • Use the BZX84-C30 as a voltage reference or clamping diode in circuits where precise voltage regulation is needed.
   • Ensure that the circuit design accounts for the maximum ratings and operating conditions to avoid premature failure.

7. Testing and Verification:

   • Before finalizing the design, test the circuit under various operating conditions to ensure reliability and performance.
   • Verify that the device operates within its specified parameters and meets the required performance criteria.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively use the BZX84-C30 in your electronic designs.
