BZX85B13-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX85B13-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode from the Vishay BZX85 series, housed in a DO-41 glass axial leaded package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 1.3 W at 25 °C and operates within a junction temperature range up to 175 °C. Designed for high-power applications, it features low dynamic resistance and stable performance across an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High power rating suitable for stabilizing and clipping circuits
• Tight voltage tolerance of ±2% for precision regulation
• Robust DO-41 glass case with built-in strain relief

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Clipping circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'TAP' corresponds to the ammo pack packaging option containing 5000 units per box as specified in the datasheet. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and ensure the component meets the required thermal characteristics for the specific application environment before final procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 13 V reference with ±2% tolerance is required. The BZX85B variant offers tighter accuracy than the standard C-series. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 1.3 W power dissipation limit and verify that the thermal resistance allows for adequate heat sinking if ambient temperatures exceed standard conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX85 series of silicon planar power Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.7 V to 200 V, utilizing the standardized DO-41 glass package. The B-series specifically denotes components graded to international E24 standards with enhanced ±2% tolerance for critical applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute with other BZX85B13 variants from Vishay or equivalent manufacturers offering 13 V Zener diodes in DO-41 packages with ±2% tolerance and 1.3 W power rating. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance specifications match the original design requirements.
