1N5234B-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5234B-TR 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 parameters include a maximum dynamic resistance of 7 Ω, a reverse leakage current of 5 μA at 4 V, 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 robust voltage regulation
• Features a standard ±5% Zener voltage tolerance designated by the 'B' suffix
• Provides low dynamic resistance for stable performance under varying currents

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the -TR suffix to confirm taped and reeled packaging. Ensure the specific B-suffix variant is selected to match the required ±5% tolerance specification. Confirm the component meets the intended thermal equilibrium requirements for the application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2 V reference is needed in an axial through-hole configuration. The 500 mW power rating suits general-purpose applications. Consider the 0.045 %/K temperature coefficient for thermal stability requirements within the operating range.

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, offering standardized options for various circuit design needs across consumer and industrial electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same Vishay series include other 1N52xxB variants with different voltage ratings. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified against the 6.2 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power dissipation, and DO-35 package dimensions.
