Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR indicates reel packaging when confirming orders. Ensure compatibility with through-hole assembly processes given the DO-7-2 form factor. Confirm RoHS status as non-compliant based on available documentation before integration into regulated assemblies. Validate that the 12.8 V rating aligns with circuit requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 12.8 V reference is required with minimal temperature coefficient. The 400 mW power rating suits low-current applications. Compare against standard Zener diodes if temperature stability is critical. Ensure the 100 Ohm impedance meets noise and dynamic response specifications for the target application.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's discrete diode portfolio, specifically within the Zener diode category. It utilizes the standard 1N49xx numbering convention adapted for temperature compensation. The TR suffix denotes tape and reel packaging for automated insertion. It serves as a specialized variant within the broader family of voltage regulator diodes offered by the manufacturer.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12.8 V Zener voltage, 5% tolerance, and temperature-compensated characteristics. Verify equivalent power dissipation and package dimensions for mechanical fit. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering temperature-stable Zener diodes in the DO-7-2 package.
