1N3006A

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N3006A is a 10-watt Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 105 V and ±5% tolerance. It features a maximum impedance of 45 Ohms and reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 76 V. The forward voltage is 1.5 V at 2 A. Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to 175°C. It utilizes a DO-213AA (DO-4) chassis stud mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation within the 105 V nominal specification
• Designed for high-power dissipation up to 10 watts
• Capable of operation in extreme temperatures from -65°C to 175°C
• Constructed for robust chassis or stud mounting applications

Applications

• High-voltage power supply regulation
• Industrial control systems requiring wide temperature stability
• Military and aerospace electronic circuits
• Overvoltage protection in critical infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., B, A) against the required qualification level such as JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV, as these denote distinct reliability standards. Confirm that the DO-213AA package dimensions match the thermal management design. Ensure the manufacturer source is authorized to guarantee component authenticity and traceability for sensitive deployments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 105 V regulation point is required with high power handling capabilities. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard commercial parts would fail. Consider the stud mount requirement for adequate heat sinking and mechanical stability during installation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N2970B through 1N3015B series of 10W Zener diodes. These components are qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/124 for military specifications. The series covers voltage regulation values between 3.9 and 200V, offering a standardized solution for high-power voltage reference applications across various industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N3006 equivalents ensuring identical 105 V, 10 W, and DO-213AA package specifications. Verify thermal resistance and impedance parameters match the original design requirements to maintain circuit stability.
