BZX55C6V8

EIC Semicon · Zener Diodes · DO-35

BZX55C6V8 from EIC Semicon, in a DO-35. 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, marked by the color band; positive with respect to the anode when operated in zener mode (VZ nom 6.8 V at IZT 5 mA for BZX55C6V8).
2 A passive Anode, axial lead at the end opposite the color band; negative with respect to the cathode in zener mode.
