1N5252C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5252C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 axial package. It provides a nominal voltage of 24 V with a tight ±2% tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 5.2 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 18 V and a typical dynamic resistance of 33 Ω at the test current.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation
• Offers high precision with a standard ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Features a glass DO-35 case suitable for through-hole mounting

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'TAP' suffix to ensure receipt in the specified 10,000-unit ammopack format rather than reel packaging. Confirm the 'C' designation matches the required ±2% tolerance specification for your design. Cross-reference the document number 85588 to access the latest technical specifications and mechanical drawings before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 24 V reference is required with tighter tolerances than standard B-grade parts. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 500 mW power dissipation limit and the specific thermal resistance requirements of the DO-35 package. Verify that the operating temperature range aligns with the -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature capabilities.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5252C variant specifically targets applications requiring stable 24 V regulation with enhanced accuracy compared to the standard tolerance options available in the same family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same Vishay series include the 1N5252B (±5% tolerance) or 1N5252 (standard tolerance). Other manufacturers producing equivalent DO-35 24 V Zener diodes may be considered if their datasheets confirm matching electrical parameters and package dimensions.
