TZMC5V6-GS18

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The TZMC5V6-GS18 is a single silicon Zener diode from the Vishay TZM series, housed in a MiniMELF (SOD-80) glass package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a ±5% tolerance range spanning 5.2 V to 6 V. The device operates at a test current of 5 mA and dissipates up to 500 mW. Key electrical parameters include a maximum dynamic resistance of 40 Ω and a reverse leakage current of less than 0.1 μA at 1 V. It supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Very sharp reverse characteristic for precise regulation
• Low reverse current level ensuring minimal power loss
• Very high stability under varying conditions
• Low noise performance suitable for sensitive circuits

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific suffix required for your packaging needs. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 standards and material categorization definitions before finalizing procurement. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the specified voltage tolerance and thermal requirements for the target application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable reference voltage near 5.6 V is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Consider the ±5% tolerance and low leakage characteristics for precision applications. Evaluate the thermal dissipation capabilities relative to ambient temperature constraints to ensure operation within the specified junction temperature limits.

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 MiniMELF package. The 'C' designation indicates a ±5% voltage tolerance, distinguishing it from the tighter ±2% tolerance 'B' variants within the same family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay TZMC5V6 variants or equivalent SOD-80 Zener diodes from other manufacturers if supply constraints exist. Verify that substitute parts match the 5.6 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power rating, and MiniMELF package dimensions.
