1N5258C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5258C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates within a Zener voltage range of 34.2 V to 37.8 V and has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. Packaged in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded format, it supports a junction temperature up to 175 °C and is supplied in taped reels for automated assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation capabilities
• Provides high precision with a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Designed for reliable operation across an extended temperature range

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code explicitly includes the 'C' suffix to ensure the component meets the required ±2% tolerance specification. Confirm the package type matches the DO-35 form factor and check the reel specifications against the manufacturing documentation to guarantee compatibility with surface mount or through-hole assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit designs demand precise voltage regulation with minimal deviation from the nominal value. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for applications requiring tighter control than standard ±5% variants. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits to maintain performance stability.

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, offering various tolerance options including standard ±5% and precision ±2%. These diodes are widely used in general-purpose electronic equipment requiring stable reference voltages.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute with other parts from the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series that share the same 36 V nominal voltage and ±2% tolerance designation. Verify that any alternative maintains the DO-35 package dimensions and equivalent thermal characteristics.
