BZX55C5V6-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX55C5V6-TAP is a single-channel small signal Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance range of 5.2 V to 6 V, tested at a current of 5 mA. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. It utilizes a DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass axial package and is supplied in an Ammo Pack configuration.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Very high stability under varying conditions
• Low noise performance

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TAP corresponds to the Ammo Pack packaging format containing 10,000 units per pack. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards as defined in the manufacturer's material categorization documentation. Ensure the requested part number matches the exact electrical characteristics required for the design application.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.6 V reference with ±6% tolerance is required. Consider the thermal resistance and lead length dependency for power dissipation calculations. Verify compatibility with through-hole assembly processes given the DO-35 package dimensions and soldering conditions specified in the datasheet.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the BZX55-Series of small signal Zener diodes from Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'C' designation indicates a standard tolerance class, while the 'TAP' suffix specifies the Ammo Pack packaging option for automated handling.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay BZX55-series variants such as BZX55B5V6 or BZX55F56, provided they match the required voltage, tolerance, and package type. Cross-manufacturer replacements must be evaluated against the absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics.
