BZX85C8V2-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The BZX85C8V2-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, designed for stabilizing and clipping circuits. It features an 8.2 V nominal Zener voltage with a ±5% tolerance (range 7.7 V to 8.7 V) and a maximum power dissipation of 1.3 W at 25 °C. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C and utilizes a DO-41 glass axial package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon planar technology for robust voltage regulation in high-power applications
• Provides stable reference voltages graded according to the international E 24 standard
• Features a glass case construction suitable for demanding thermal environments

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Signal clipping applications
• Reference voltage generation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific BZX85C8V2-TAP designation to ensure correct voltage grading and tolerance. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and check for any specific packaging requirements such as TR or TAP codes. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the semiconductor batch.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 8.2 V reference is required with moderate power handling capabilities. Consider the ±5% tolerance if tighter precision is needed, in which case the 'B' suffix variant should be evaluated. Verify that the thermal management design accommodates the 1.3 W dissipation limit and the specified thermal resistance characteristics.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX85 series of power Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay. The series offers a wide range of standardized voltage values optimized for industrial and commercial electronics. The 'C' suffix indicates the standard ±5% tolerance grade, distinguishing it from higher precision variants within the same product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute with BZX85B8V2-TAP for tighter ±2% tolerance requirements while maintaining identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions.
