1N3532A

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N3532A is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 41 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C. It utilizes a DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a nominal 41 V level
• Capable of handling up to 500 mW of power dissipation
• Supports extended industrial operating temperatures from -65°C to +175°C

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• General-purpose voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm it denotes the standard ±5% tolerance variant. Ensure the required DO-204AH axial leaded package matches the target PCB layout constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status as legacy parts may have different environmental declarations than current production runs.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 41 V regulation point is required in a compact axial package. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard commercial grade parts would fail. Verify that the 500 mW power rating aligns with the expected thermal conditions of the final assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N35xx series of Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. These components are widely used in discrete semiconductor designs requiring reliable voltage clamping or referencing. The series offers various voltage options within the same standardized package form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N3532 equivalents or compatible Zener diodes with identical 41 V, 500 mW, and DO-35 specifications.
