About this product
The BZX55C5V6 is a 5.6V, 0.5W Zener diode in a DO-35 glass package, with a 5% voltage tolerance indicated by the C suffix. It is used for voltage regulation, voltage reference, overvoltage protection and clamping circuit voltages. It operates in reverse breakdown at 5.6V, so it is connected reverse-biased across the load.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of BZX55C5V6 Zener Diode 5.6V 0.5W DO-35 in Egypt?
BZX55C5V6 Zener Diode 5.6V 0.5W DO-35 currently costs 0.5 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy BZX55C5V6 Zener Diode 5.6V 0.5W DO-35 in Egypt?

How do I calculate the series resistor for a BZX55C5V6?
Use R = (Vin − 5.6) / Iz, where Iz is the Zener current you want. The maximum safe Zener current is about 0.5W ÷ 5.6V, roughly 90mA, so keep Iz well below that with a margin for heat.
Which way round is the BZX55C5V6 connected?
The cathode is marked by a band on the glass body. For voltage regulation the cathode goes to the positive rail and the anode to ground, so the diode operates in reverse breakdown.
