BZX79C5V1-T50A

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX79C5V1-T50A is a single-channel Zener diode manufactured by onsemi, designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in a DO-35-2 through-hole package and dissipates up to 500 mW of power. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 µA, a Zener impedance of 60 Ω, and a test current of 5 mA. It supports an operating temperature range from -65 °C to +200 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a nominal 5.1 V level with tight manufacturing tolerances.
• Engineered for high thermal stability, supporting operation up to +200 °C junction temperature.
• Utilizes a glass-passivated silicon construction within a compact DO-35 axial leaded package.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General-purpose voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• Biasing networks in analog signal processing

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T50A against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required voltage tolerance and power dissipation ratings for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 5.1 V reference is needed in a through-hole design. Consider the 60 Ω impedance and 2 µA leakage current specifications for sensitivity requirements. Verify that the 500 mW power rating aligns with the expected current draw in the circuit under worst-case conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX79 series of small-signal Zener diodes produced by onsemi. The series is characterized by its robust glass passivation and wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for general electronic equipment where reliable voltage clamping or referencing is required in standard axial packages.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' BZX79C5V1 equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure that alternative parts meet the same 5.1 V nominal voltage, 5% tolerance, and 500 mW power dissipation specifications.
