1N5223C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N5223C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial 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. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 75 µA at 1 V, a typical dynamic resistance of 30 Ω at 1 kHz, and a temperature coefficient of -0.08 %/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Offers high precision voltage regulation with a standard ±2% Zener voltage tolerance for stable reference applications
• Utilizes robust silicon planar technology designed for reliable operation across a wide junction temperature range

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Precision voltage references
• Overvoltage protection networks

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the specific 'C' suffix to ensure the component meets the required ±2% tolerance specification. Confirm the '-TR' suffix matches the desired reel packaging format. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official datasheets to validate authenticity and confirm compliance with RoHS standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage clamping is critical, as the 'C' suffix guarantees tighter manufacturing tolerances compared to standard variants. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified 500 mW power dissipation limit and verify that the operating temperature range aligns with the device's thermal equilibrium specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a broad Zener voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, providing designers with standardized options for various low-power voltage regulation needs within the industry.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other 1N5223 variants such as 1N5223B-TR or 1N5223-TAP, provided the application can accept the wider ±5% tolerance associated with the 'B' suffix designation.
