1N5234B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5234B-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. 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 5 µA, a dynamic resistance of 7 Ω, and a typical temperature coefficient of 0.045 %/K. It supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for high stability and sharp reverse characteristics
• Features low reverse leakage current levels for precise regulation
• Provides standard ±5% Zener voltage tolerance for general-purpose applications

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details. The TAP suffix indicates an ammopack configuration containing 10,000 units per pack on 52 mm tape. Ensure compatibility with required reel or bulk handling equipment during assembly planning.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2 V reference with ±5% accuracy is required in a through-hole axial package. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit and thermal resistance constraints for the operating environment. Verify that the 20 mA test current aligns with the circuit design requirements.

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 voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'B' suffix denotes the standard ±5% tolerance variant within this product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include other 1N52xxB devices with different voltage ratings. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must match the 6.2 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power rating, and DO-35 package dimensions.
