ZPY5V6-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The ZPY5V6-TR is a Zener diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V and a maximum power dissipation of 1.3 W. The device offers a voltage tolerance of 5%. This component is designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial leaded package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a nominal 5.6 V level
• Supports high power dissipation up to 1.3 W for robust operation
• Maintains tight voltage tolerance within 5% for precision applications

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable DC levels
• Overvoltage protection stages in power supplies
• Clamping applications in signal conditioning paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging configuration against official Vishay documentation before procurement. Confirm that the required power rating and voltage tolerance align with the design specifications. Ensure the axial leaded package format matches the target PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar series components.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.6 V reference with higher power handling than standard small-signal diodes is required. The 5% tolerance suits general-purpose regulation where extreme precision is not critical. Consider the axial package size for mechanical clearance and thermal management needs in the final assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ZPY series of Zener diodes from Vishay. The series is characterized by its ability to handle higher power dissipation compared to lower-power variants, making it suitable for applications demanding greater energy absorption or continuous current handling capabilities in voltage regulation roles.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official Vishay substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 5.6 V nominal voltage, 1.3 W power rating, and 5% tolerance. Verify package compatibility and thermal characteristics before integrating any alternative components.
