1N5223C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5223C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series, housed in an axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a tight ±2% tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 20 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW of power. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 75 µA at 1 V and a typical dynamic resistance of 30 Ω.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation
• Offers high precision with a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Features low thermal resistance for efficient heat dissipation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'TAP' suffix to ensure receipt in ammopack tape format rather than reel packaging. Confirm the 'C' designation matches the required ±2% tolerance specification. Cross-reference the document number 85588 to access the latest technical specifications and ensure compliance with material categorization definitions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation within a narrow tolerance band is critical. The DO-35 through-hole package facilitates easy integration into standard printed circuit board layouts. Ensure the operating junction temperature remains within the specified range to maintain stable performance and prevent thermal runaway during continuous operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the extensive 1N5221 to 1N5267 family of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide Zener voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, allowing designers to select specific voltage levels without changing the package type or manufacturing process. The 'C' suffix variants provide tighter tolerances compared to the standard 'B' suffix parts.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5223Z or equivalent 2.7 V Zener diodes in the DO-35 package. Verify that replacement parts meet the same 500 mW power dissipation rating and ±2% tolerance requirements to ensure circuit compatibility.
