TZMC5V6-GS08

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The TZMC5V6-GS08 is a single-channel small signal Zener diode from the Vishay TZM series, housed in a MiniMELF (SOD-80) surface-mount package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW of power. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic resistance of 450 Ω and a reverse leakage current of less than 0.1 μA at 1 V.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Features a very sharp reverse characteristic for precise voltage regulation
• Provides low reverse current levels and high stability
• Designed for low noise operation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific GS08 suffix for standard tape-and-reel packaging containing 2500 units per reel. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 directives and ensure the application environment remains within the specified -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range during operation.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 5.6 V reference is required in a compact SMD footprint. The ±5% tolerance suits general-purpose applications, while the low leakage current ensures minimal power loss in standby modes. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 450 Ω dynamic impedance for accurate load regulation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay TZM series of small signal Zener diodes. The series offers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V in the same MiniMELF package. The TZMC variant specifically denotes a ±5% voltage tolerance, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2% TZMB series.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same manufacturer family include the TZMB5V6-GS08, which offers a tighter ±2% voltage tolerance.
