1N5232B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5232B-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device dissipates up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA, a dynamic impedance of 11 Ω, and a forward voltage of 1.1 V.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation
• Features a glass DO-35 axial leaded package for through-hole mounting
• Includes cathode identification marking on the component body

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 confirm the specific ammopack packaging format containing 10,000 units per reel. Ensure the required voltage tolerance aligns with the standard B-series specification. Confirm compliance requirements against the material categorization definitions provided in the official documentation before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.6 V reference is required in an axial package. The 500 mW power rating supports moderate current applications. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits. Consider the 11 Ω dynamic impedance for circuit stability requirements. Validate that the ±5% voltage tolerance meets the design specifications.

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 voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5232B designation specifically identifies the 5.6 V variant within this standardized product line.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 1N5232B-TR variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but utilizes tape-and-reel packaging instead of the ammopack format.
