1N5223B-T

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5223B-T is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates within a test current range of 1.7 to 20 mA and features a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. It utilizes the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package, supporting a junction temperature up to 175 °C and a storage temperature range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the '-T' suffix to confirm taped packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the DO-35 axial leaded form factor for through-hole mounting processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 2.7 V reference is required in low-power applications. The ±5% tolerance suits general-purpose regulation tasks. Consider the 500 mW power limit and thermal resistance characteristics during circuit design to ensure safe operating conditions under continuous load.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a wide Zener voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'B' suffix indicates the standard ±5% tolerance variant, while other suffixes like 'C' offer tighter tolerances. These diodes are widely used in discrete semiconductor designs requiring stable voltage references.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N5223 equivalents in the DO-35 package. Verify matching electrical parameters such as Zener voltage, tolerance, and power dissipation. Ensure the replacement part supports the same axial leaded mounting style and thermal characteristics.
