BZX85C100-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX85C100-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode from the Vishay BZX85 series, designed for voltage stabilization and clipping applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 100 V with a tolerance range of 96 V to 106 V at a test current of 75 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 1.3 W and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C. Packaged in a DO-41 axial leaded glass case, it exhibits a dynamic resistance of less than 350 Ω and a reverse leakage current below 0.5 µA at 94 V.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation in high-power circuits.
• Encased in a hermetically sealed DO-41 glass package suitable for through-hole mounting.
• Complies with international E24 standard grading for standardized voltage selection.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Clipping circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific BZX85C100-TR designation to ensure correct ±5% tolerance grading. Confirm the presence of the TR suffix indicates reel packaging rather than tape-and-reel variations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Vishay documentation to validate authenticity and revision status before integration into production.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 100 V reference is required in through-hole designs. Ensure the circuit can accommodate the specified 75 mA test current and 1.3 W power dissipation limits. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics if operating near the upper temperature limits or in confined spaces requiring heat management.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the BZX85 series of general-purpose Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers a wide voltage range using the DO-41 package. The 'C' suffix denotes the ±5% tolerance grade, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2% 'B' grade variants within the same family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 100 V nominal voltage, 1.3 W power rating, and DO-41 package dimensions. Verify equivalent dynamic resistance and leakage current specifications to maintain circuit performance integrity.
