TZX3V6B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The TZX3V6B-TAP is a single silicon planar Zener diode from the Vishay TZX-Series, designed for voltage stabilization in through-hole applications. It utilizes a DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass axial package with a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C. The nominal Zener voltage is 3.6 V, tested at a current of 5 mA, with a tolerance range of 3.5 V to 3.7 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA and a dynamic resistance of 100 Ω. The device supports a junction temperature up to 175 °C and operates within a storage temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix '-TAP' corresponds to the taped units per reel configuration as specified in the official datasheet. Confirm compliance with material categorization definitions provided by the manufacturer. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the exact part number to avoid discrepancies in packaging or electrical tolerances.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable reference voltage near 3.6 V is required in a low-power environment. The DO-35 package is appropriate for standard through-hole mounting processes. Consider the thermal resistance and ambient temperature limits to ensure the 500 mW power dissipation rating is not exceeded during operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the TZX-Series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide range of nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 36 V, all sharing similar construction features such as low reverse current and high stability. The TZX3V6B variant specifically targets the 3.6 V segment with tight manufacturing tolerances.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include TZX3V6A and TZX3V6C, which share identical physical dimensions and general electrical profiles but differ in specific voltage tolerance bands.
