1N5264C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5264C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series, housed in an axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 60 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 2.1 mA and features a maximum dynamic resistance of 170 Ω at this current. It dissipates up to 500 mW of power and withstands junction temperatures from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High precision voltage regulation achieved through a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance
• Robust thermal stability across a wide operating temperature range
• Compact axial leaded construction for standard through-hole mounting

Single Zener Diodes Applications

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

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering code includes the TAP suffix to ensure the component is supplied in an ammopack format rather than a reel. Confirm the C suffix is present to guarantee the required ±2% tolerance level. Cross-reference the document number 85588 to access the latest electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 60 V reference is required with tighter tolerances than standard B-grade parts offer. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified 2.1 mA test current to maintain accuracy. Verify that the DO-35 package size fits the available board space and that the 500 mW power dissipation rating meets the thermal requirements of the application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a broad voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 1N5264 variant specifically targets the 60 V segment, offering stable performance for general-purpose regulation tasks within the broader family of axial silicon planar devices.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5264B or 1N5264C equivalents. Ensure replacement parts match the 60 V nominal voltage, ±2% tolerance, and DO-35 package dimensions. Verify that the substitute's dynamic resistance and power dissipation ratings meet or exceed the original specifications.
