Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'C' suffix to confirm the ±2% tolerance specification. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements by checking the manufacturer's material categorization documentation. Confirm the tape and reel packaging details match the specific procurement order.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this variant when circuit designs require tighter voltage regulation than standard ±5% tolerances allow. The 7.5 V rating suits mid-range reference needs within the series. Verify that the 500 mW power dissipation capability aligns with the thermal management strategy of the target application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'C' suffix specifically denotes the tighter manufacturing tolerance compared to the standard 'B' suffix variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other manufacturers' 1N5236 equivalents. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same DO-35 footprint and 7.5 V nominal voltage. Ensure replacement components meet the required ±2% tolerance and 500 mW power rating.

Single Zener Diodes FAQ

What does the 'C' suffix indicate in the part number?

The 'C' suffix indicates a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, which is tighter than the ±5% tolerance found in 'B' suffix versions.

What is the maximum operating junction temperature?

The maximum junction temperature (Tj) is rated at 175 °C.
