TLZ6V2C-GS18

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The TLZ6V2C-GS18 is a small signal Zener diode from Vishay, housed in a MiniMELF (SOD-80) surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tolerance range of 6.12 V to 6.44 V. The device operates at a test current of 20 mA and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 µA at 5 V. Its dynamic resistance is specified as 10 Ω at the test current and 300 Ω at a lower current of 1 mA. The component supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and functions within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS18 corresponds to the 10,000-unit reel packaging format on an 8 mm tape. Confirm that the C tolerance grade matches the required voltage window of 6.12 V to 6.44 V for your design. Ensure the MiniMELF footprint aligns with your PCB layout guidelines before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable reference voltage near 6.2 V is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The C grading offers tighter voltage tolerances compared to standard grades. Consider the thermal impedance characteristics if operating near the maximum power dissipation limit in confined spaces.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the TLZ-Series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 56 V, utilizing the MiniMELF glass case for reliability. The GS18 suffix indicates the specific taping configuration used for automated assembly processes.
