1N5265C-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5265C-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series, housed in a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 2 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 25 V, a typical dynamic resistance of 185 Ω, and a temperature coefficient of 0.097 %/K.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High precision voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance for stable reference applications
• Robust thermal performance supporting operation up to 175 °C junction temperature
• Low forward voltage drop ensuring minimal power loss during conductive states

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Precision voltage references
• Overvoltage protection networks

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 revision date against your quality management system to ensure compliance with the latest manufacturing standards.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires a precise 62 V reference point with tighter tolerances than standard ±5% variants offer. The DO-35 package is suitable for through-hole mounting where higher power dissipation capabilities are needed compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives. Evaluate the dynamic resistance value to ensure it meets the ripple rejection requirements of the target application.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N5221 to 1N5267 family of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, utilizing silicon planar technology. While other packages like MiniMELF or SOT-23 exist for the same voltage ratings, the 1N5265C specifically utilizes the DO-35 axial leaded format for robust mechanical integration.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same Vishay series include the 1N5265B-TAP, which offers the same 62 V rating but with a wider ±5% tolerance. Designers must verify that the looser tolerance of the 'B' suffix variant remains acceptable for the specific circuit constraints before substitution.
