1N5235C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5235C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 6.8 V and a tolerance of ±2%. It operates in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package, dissipating up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. The device features a junction temperature rating of 175 °C and a storage range from -65 °C to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 µA at 5 V and a dynamic resistance of 5 Ω at a test current of 20 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar construction for stable voltage regulation
• Provides high precision with a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Designed for automated assembly processes using taped packaging

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code explicitly includes the suffix "-TAP" to confirm the component is supplied in an ammopack format rather than standard reel tape. Ensure the part number matches the specific manufacturer's datasheet revision to validate compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a tight ±2% voltage tolerance is required compared to the standard ±5% variant. Confirm that the circuit design accommodates the 500 mW power dissipation limit and the specified thermal resistance. Verify that the axial leaded DO-35 package aligns with the printed circuit board layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5221 through 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The "C" suffix specifically denotes the tighter ±2% tolerance band, distinguishing it from the standard "B" suffix devices within the same product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5235C-series-TR for reel-based supply or other manufacturers' 1N5235C variants. Ensure replacement components maintain the 6.8 V nominal voltage, ±2% tolerance, and 500 mW power rating.
