1N5252B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5252B-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial through-hole package and supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. Electrical characteristics include a test current of 5.2 mA, a maximum dynamic resistance of 33 Ω at the test current, and a reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 18 V. The component functions within a junction temperature range up to 175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization details prior to integration. Ensure lead length requirements align with thermal resistance specifications during PCB layout. Validate that the selected variant matches the required voltage tolerance class for the intended application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 V reference point is required in through-hole designs. Consider the 33 Ω dynamic resistance for impedance matching in signal paths. Evaluate the 500 mW power rating against expected load currents to prevent thermal overload. Compare the ±5% tolerance against circuit sensitivity requirements before finalizing the design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. Other packages in the family include MiniMELF, SOT-23, and SOD-123 configurations. The 'B' suffix specifically denotes the standard ±5% voltage tolerance band.
