BZX55C20-TAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BZX55C20-TAP is a small signal Zener diode from Vishay's BZX55 series, offering a nominal Zener voltage of 20V with a tolerance of ±5%. It is designed for voltage stabilization applications and features a very sharp reverse characteristic, low reverse current level, and very high stability.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum power dissipation of 500mW at 25°C ambient temperature (with 4mm lead length), a maximum dynamic resistance of 55Ω at the 5mA test current, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100nA at 15V. The forward voltage is rated at a maximum of 1.5V at 200mA forward current.

 

The device is housed in a DO-35 (DO-204AH) through-hole package with axial leads, suitable for manual or automated insertion. It operates over a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C and has a thermal resistance of 300 K/W junction-to-ambient. The component is RoHS compliant and has an MSL rating of Level 1 (unlimited) per J-STD-020.
