12V 0.5Watt Zener Diode SMD C-BZV55C12 SOD-80C

The BZV55C12 is a 12V, 500mW surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode manufactured by Continental Device India Limited (CDIL) for voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and reference voltage applications. Housed in a compact surface-mount SOD-80C (LL-34) hermetically sealed glass case MiniMELF package, this discrete component features a single diode configuration designed to optimize automated circuit board placement. It operates with a nominal Zener breakdown voltage of 12V and a maximum power dissipation of 500mW while providing stable performance under varying reverse current conditions. Engineered with low dynamic impedance, low reverse leakage, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.9V at a 10mA test current, this robust device delivers reliable performance across an operating junction temperature range from minus 65 to plus 200 degrees Celsius.
