1N5233C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5233C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial lead package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6 V with a tight ±2 % tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. 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 at 3.5 V and a dynamic impedance of 7 Ω at a test current of 20 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the required tolerance suffix. Confirm the tape and reel specifications align with automated assembly equipment requirements. Ensure compliance with regional material categorization standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6 V reference is required in an axial lead format. The ±2 % tolerance makes it suitable for applications demanding tighter voltage accuracy than standard ±5 % variants. Evaluate thermal resistance constraints based on the specific lead length and ambient operating 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 voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'TR' suffix indicates the device is supplied in a taped and reel format for efficient surface mount or through-hole processing.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

The 1N5233B-TR serves as a direct alternative offering the same electrical parameters but with a wider ±5 % voltage tolerance.

Single Zener Diodes FAQ
