1N5258C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5258C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 36 V and ±2% tolerance. It operates within a test current range of 1.7 to 20 mA, featuring a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 27 V and a typical dynamic resistance of 70 Ω at the test current. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, a junction temperature up to 175 °C, and a storage temperature range from -65 °C to +175 °C. It utilizes a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial through-hole package.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TAP' indicates the ammopack tape configuration containing 10,000 units per reel. Confirm that the 'C' designation strictly enforces the ±2% Zener voltage tolerance requirement for your application. Ensure the DO-35 axial lead length meets your board layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V reference requires tighter than standard tolerance. The ±2% specification distinguishes it from the standard ±5% variant. Verify that the 500 mW power rating accommodates the expected operating current without exceeding the thermal limits defined in the absolute maximum ratings section.

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. The 1N5258 specifically targets the mid-range voltage applications requiring stable regulation characteristics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 36 V Zener diodes in the DO-35 package. Ensure replacement parts match the 500 mW power dissipation and ±2% tolerance requirements. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and soldering profiles.
