TZX6V8B-TAP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The TZX6V8B-TAP is a single small signal Zener diode from the Vishay TZX series, housed in a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial through-hole package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage range of 6.6 V to 6.9 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA at 3.5 V and a dynamic resistance of 15 Ω at the test current.
