1N5226C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5226C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 3.3 V and ±2% tolerance. It operates in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial through-hole package, dissipating up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. The device features a maximum dynamic resistance of 28 Ω and a reverse leakage current of 25 μA at 1 V. It supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C and storage ranges from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'C' suffix to confirm the ±2% tolerance specification. Ensure the '-TAP' designation matches the required ammo pack packaging format. Cross-reference the document number 85588 to access the latest electrical characteristics and absolute maximum ratings before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when tight voltage accuracy is critical compared to standard ±5% variants. The DO-35 package provides reliable through-hole mounting for general-purpose boards. Evaluate the 28 Ω dynamic resistance against circuit sensitivity requirements to ensure adequate noise suppression and signal stability under varying load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide range of nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5226 variant specifically targets the 3.3 V application segment within this extensive lineup.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5226B or 1N5226C equivalents. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same DO-35 footprint and meet the 500 mW power dissipation rating. Confirm that the alternative device's dynamic resistance does not exceed 28 Ω for equivalent performance.
