1N5261C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N5261C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode housed in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 2.5 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW of power. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA, a typical dynamic resistance of 125 Ω, and a temperature coefficient of 0.096 %/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High precision voltage regulation achieved through a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Robust thermal stability across an extended junction temperature range
• Low forward voltage drop during conductive states

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Precision reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection stages

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'C' suffix to confirm the required ±2% tolerance specification. Ensure the '-TAP' designation matches the specific ammopack packaging requirements for your assembly line. Cross-reference the document number 85588 to access the latest technical parameters before finalizing component selection.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage clamping is critical due to its narrow manufacturing tolerance. The DO-35 package is suitable for through-hole mounting applications requiring robust mechanical anchoring. Evaluate the 500 mW power dissipation limit against expected operating currents to ensure safe thermal equilibrium under all environmental conditions.

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 Zener voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5261 variant specifically targets the 47 V segment within this extensive lineup of standard axial diodes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5261B or 1N5261C equivalents in the DO-35 package. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same 47 V nominal voltage and ±2% tolerance to ensure circuit performance parity.
