1N5235C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5235C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 axial lead package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, 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 3 µA, a dynamic resistance of 5 Ω at a test current of 20 mA, and a typical positive temperature coefficient of 0.05 %/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar construction for robust voltage regulation
• Offers high precision with a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Designed for automated assembly processes via reel packaging

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 delivery format. Ensure the 'C' designation is present to guarantee the required ±2% voltage tolerance rather than the standard ±5%. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization requirements specific to your region before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.8 V reference is required with tighter tolerances than standard variants. The DO-35 package supports through-hole mounting and withstands peak soldering temperatures up to 260 °C. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit and the resulting need for heat sinking or derating if ambient temperatures exceed 50 °C.

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 1N5235 variant specifically targets the 6.8 V segment, providing stable regulation for low-power analog and digital applications requiring reliable performance across industrial temperature ranges.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N5235 equivalents in the DO-35 package. Verify that substitute parts match the 6.8 V nominal voltage, ±2% tolerance, 500 mW power rating, and 5 Ω dynamic resistance specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
