Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TAP' corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration, as standard variants may differ. Confirm RoHS compliance status and AEC-Q101 qualification requirements against the latest official datasheet before finalizing procurement orders to ensure regulatory adherence.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 13 V reference with low noise is required in an axial leaded package. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 500 mW power dissipation limit and that the 5% voltage tolerance meets the system's precision requirements without requiring external trimming.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the TZX series of Zener diodes from Vishay, designed for general-purpose and automotive voltage regulation. The series offers various voltage options within the same DO-35 footprint, allowing for standardized inventory management across different voltage reference designs in discrete semiconductor applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

The TZX13A-TR is a comparable variant within the same family offering identical electrical specifications and package type. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
