1N5233B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5233B-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial through-hole package and supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. Key electrical characteristics include a test current of 20 mA, a maximum dynamic resistance of 7 Ohms at IZT1, and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 3.5 V. The component features a junction temperature rating up to 175 °C and a typical voltage temperature coefficient of 0.038 %/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the TAP suffix to confirm the specific ammopack packaging configuration. Ensure the B suffix is present to match the required ±5% Zener voltage tolerance specification. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 V Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance is required for through-hole designs. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit and the 175 °C maximum junction temperature for thermal management. Verify that the DO-35 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes from Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide range of nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5233 variant specifically targets the 6 V segment within this extensive lineup of general-purpose voltage regulator diodes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the 1N5233B-TR, which shares identical electrical specifications but utilizes reel packaging instead of the TAP configuration.
