Product details
Overview
TZQ5264B-GS18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a precision small-signal Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 60 V, ±5 % tolerance, 2.1 mA test current (IZT), < 0.1 μA reverse leakage at VR = 46 V, and dynamic resistance of < 170 Ω - designed for stable voltage reference and regulation in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TZQ5264B-GS18 datasheet, TZQ5264B-GS18 pinout, TZQ5264B-GS18 application, or TZQ5264B-GS18 equivalent, this device is selected for high-stability DC biasing, overvoltage clamping in sensor interfaces, and precision voltage monitoring where tight VZ tolerance and low noise are critical.
Technical Context
This QuadroMELF-packaged Zener operates under thermal equilibrium conditions with case temperature maintained at 30 °C ± 2 °C during VZ measurement. Its sharp reverse breakdown characteristic and low noise support high-accuracy analog signal conditioning.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.097 %/K and is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation with RthJA = 500 K/W on standard PCB layout - enabling reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C62-TR | 62 V nominal, ±5 %, 5 mA IZT, SOD-523 package, 300 mW rating | Lower power rating and smaller footprint - suited for space-constrained consumer electronics | Select when board area is limited and 300 mW suffices; verify thermal margin at 62 V operation |
| MMBZ5248BS-7-F | 18 V nominal, ±5 %, 20 mA IZT, SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating | Lower voltage, higher IZT, different package - not interchangeable without circuit redesign | Choose only for 18 V reference needs; not a drop-in replacement for TZQ5264B-GS18's 60 V function |
Compared with BZX55C62-TR and MMBZ5248BS-7-F, TZQ5264B-GS18 delivers higher voltage regulation (60 V), higher power handling (500 mW), and QuadroMELF stability - making it optimal for industrial-grade shunt references where thermal robustness and long-term drift matter.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of TZQ5264B-GS18?
The TZQ5264B-GS18 has a nominal zener voltage of 60 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, measured at thermal equilibrium with case temperature held at 30 °C ± 2 °C. This specification ensures predictable regulation behavior in precision reference designs where absolute voltage accuracy is required.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for TZQ5264B-GS18?
TZQ5264B-GS18 is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation under conditions where thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) is ≤ 300 K/W. On a standard 50 mm × 50 mm × 1.6 mm PCB, its RthJA is 500 K/W - requiring appropriate layout or derating above Tamb = 25 °C.
Does TZQ5264B-GS18 have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, TZQ5264B-GS18 uses QuadroMELF (SOD-80) packaging with cathode identification marked on one end cap. The marked end is the cathode, and the unmarked end is the anode - critical for correct orientation in shunt regulator and clamping configurations.
What is the temperature coefficient of TZQ5264B-GS18, and how does it affect design?
TZQ5264B-GS18 has a temperature coefficient of +0.097 %/K, meaning its zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature. This positive drift enables compensation strategies in feedback networks where opposing negative coefficients exist - improving overall system thermal stability.
Is TZQ5264B-GS18 suitable for low-noise reference applications?
Yes, TZQ5264B-GS18 is explicitly characterized for low noise performance, supported by its very sharp reverse characteristic and low reverse leakage (< 0.1 μA). These traits make TZQ5264B-GS18 appropriate for use in high-resolution data acquisition systems where reference voltage integrity directly impacts measurement fidelity.
