1N5260C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5260C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates in a DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass axial package and dissipates up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. Key electrical parameters include a test current of 3 mA, a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 33 V, and a typical dynamic resistance of 93 Ω at the test current.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High precision voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance for stable reference applications
• Robust construction utilizing silicon planar technology within a hermetically sealed glass DO-35 package
• Low reverse leakage current ensuring minimal power loss in high-impedance circuits

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization in electronic circuits
• Precision voltage reference generation
• Overvoltage protection components

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the -TR suffix to confirm taped-and-reeled packaging. Ensure the 'C' designation is present to guarantee the required ±2% Zener voltage tolerance. Confirm compliance with specific environmental standards if applicable to the target assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when strict voltage accuracy is critical, as the C-suffix provides tighter tolerances than standard B-suffix variants. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit and the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the expected ambient temperature and lead length constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes from Vishay. The series covers a wide Zener voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, offering various tolerance options and package configurations including MiniMELF and SOT-23 for different design requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N5260 equivalents. Verify that substitute parts match the 43 V nominal voltage, ±2% tolerance, 500 mW power rating, and DO-35 package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
