1N5250C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5250C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 20 V and ±2% tolerance. It operates in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, dissipating up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. The device features a maximum dynamic resistance of 25 Ω and a reverse leakage current of 0.1 μA at 15 V. It supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C and storage ranges from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Precision voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance for stable reference applications
• Robust thermal performance supporting high junction temperatures up to 175 °C
• Low leakage current characteristics ensuring minimal power loss in standby states

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Precision voltage references
• Overvoltage protection systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the required ±2% tolerance level rather than standard ±5%. Confirm the '-TR' designation aligns with reel-based procurement requirements. Ensure the DO-35 axial package matches the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when tight voltage accuracy is critical compared to standard tolerance variants. The axial leaded package facilitates through-hole mounting, suitable for environments requiring robust mechanical anchoring. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs against the 500 mW limit under varying ambient conditions.

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, providing standardized options for various circuit design requirements across consumer and industrial electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering DO-35 packaged Zener diodes rated at 20 V with ±2% tolerance. Verify that alternative parts meet the same 500 mW power dissipation and 175 °C junction temperature specifications.
