Need help identifying diode

[tccotham]

Hi,
I'm trying to determine the specs of the diode in the picture so I can get a replacement. The label on the cca is "DZ3". There seem to be an "8" and "5" printed on the component body.

Hello,

There likely must be more info on the diode.
As the PCB code sais DZ, it could be a zener diode.
The only one with 85 I know is the BZX85 series, wich exist in many voltages, wich should be given on the diode.

Thanks, my coworkers also think it may be a B rather than an 8. When looking for a replacement do you know if we need to consider anything other than voltage?

We'd need to know more context about the circuitry it came from to discover its value (if it's a zener).

so I can get a replacement

Is it faulty, if so, how did you test it?
