1N5234C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5234C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series and features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tight tolerance of ± 2 %. The device operates within a test current range of 1.7 to 20 mA, dissipates up to 500 mW of power, and utilizes a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial through-hole package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage stabilization with a ± 2 % Zener voltage tolerance
• Utilizes silicon planar technology for reliable operation
• Designed for high thermal stability with a junction temperature rating of 175 °C

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TAP' against official documentation to confirm the ammopack tape format. Ensure the required ± 2 % tolerance aligns with design specifications, as standard variants offer ± 5 %. Confirm lead length requirements for soldering conditions, as thermal resistance varies with lead length.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable reference voltage near 6.2 V is required with strict tolerance limits. The DO-35 package suits applications needing robust axial mounting. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs, as power handling decreases at elevated ambient temperatures beyond 25 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part is part of the 1N5221 to 1N5267 family of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a wide Zener voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. Variants are available in different packages including MiniMELF, SOT-23, and SOD-123, offering flexibility for various circuit board layouts.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 6.2 V Zener diodes in DO-35 packages. Verify that replacement parts meet the ± 2 % tolerance requirement and match the 500 mW power dissipation capability.
