1N3508A

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N3508A is a temperature-compensated Zener reference diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tolerance of ±5% and a maximum DC power dissipation of 500 mW at an ambient temperature of +25°C. The device utilizes a DO-35 axial through-hole package and operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -65°C to +175°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 200 mA and a maximum impedance of 4 Ohms.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Low noise regulation systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as this component may be produced under license or acquired through corporate acquisition. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the package matches the required DO-35 axial lead configuration for your assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable, low-noise voltage reference is required in a standard through-hole package. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range and that the 500 mW power dissipation limit is not exceeded.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N3506A through 1N3534A series of 400mW Zener voltage regulator diodes. These devices are characterized by their temperature-compensated nature, making them distinct from standard Zener diodes used primarily for overvoltage protection rather than precise voltage referencing.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 1N3506A through 1N3534A, provided they meet the 6.2 V nominal voltage requirement and DO-35 package constraints.
