1N5245C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5245C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 8.5 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA, a typical dynamic resistance of 16 Ω, and a temperature coefficient of 0.082 %/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High precision voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance
• Silicon planar construction for reliability
• Low reverse leakage current
• Standard axial leaded packaging

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code matches the required tolerance level, as the 'C' suffix denotes ±2% accuracy compared to the standard ±5%. Confirm that the reel quantity aligns with production requirements. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards if applicable to your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure all thermal and electrical parameters are current.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is critical due to its narrow ±2% tolerance band. The 500 mW power rating suits low-to-medium current applications. Consider the 16 Ω dynamic resistance for stability under varying load conditions. The axial DO-35 package facilitates through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

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 range of Zener voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5245 variant specifically targets the 15 V market segment within this extensive lineup.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5245B or 1N5245C equivalents. Verify that replacement parts match the 15 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power dissipation, and DO-35 package dimensions. Ensure the substitute also offers ±2% tolerance if high precision is required.
