MELF/mini-MELF/LL-34 Package Diodes

The SOD-80 package, also known as mini-MELF, is a small ( glass,

sometimes plastic) cylinder with metal ends.

MELF package L=4.9mm D=2.5mm

mini-MELF (SOD80C) L=3.5mm D=1.6mm
LL-34 L=3.4mm D= 1.4mm

Code marked devices

Marked 2Y4 to 75Y (E24 series) BZV49 series 1W zener diodes (2.4 - 75V)

Marked C2V4 TO C75 (E24 series) BZV55 series 500mW zener diodes (2.4 -
75V)

The cathode end is indicated by a coloured band.
