1N5258B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5258B-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 36 V and a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW. It features a standard ±5% tolerance indicated by the 'B' suffix, housed in a DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole package. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C and includes a thermal resistance from junction to ambient air of 300 K/W.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation
• Provides stable DC performance with a standard ±5% voltage tolerance
• Features a glass-encased DO-35 package designed for high-temperature operation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• DC power supply reference applications
• Overvoltage protection stages

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code explicitly contains the 'B' suffix to ensure the component meets the required ±5% Zener voltage tolerance specification. Confirm the physical package matches the DO-204AH (DO-35) form factor and validate compliance with RoHS3 material categorization standards prior to final procurement authorization.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 36 V reference point is required in a circuit design. The 500 mW power rating supports moderate current loads, while the axial lead configuration facilitates easy integration into traditional printed circuit board layouts requiring through-hole mounting techniques.

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 nominal voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, providing designers with standardized options for various voltage regulation requirements across different electronic equipment categories.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 36 V, 500 mW Zener diodes in the DO-35 package. Ensure any substitute maintains identical electrical characteristics, specifically the ±5% tolerance and thermal resistance values, to guarantee circuit compatibility.
