# BZT55C5V1-GS08

**Vishay Intertech** · Zener Diodes · SOD-80

BZT55C5V1-GS08 from Vishay Intertech, in a SOD-80. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K | passive | Cathode terminal, marked by the cathode identification band on the package; the Zener (breakdown) voltage VZ is 4.8 to 5.4 V (5.1 V nom.) at IZT1 = 5 mA for the BZT55C5V1. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal at the end opposite the cathode band; forward voltage is at most 1.5 V at IF = 200 mA. |
