Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as historical data references Microsemi Corporation prior to its acquisition by Microchip Technology. Confirm the specific suffix indicates standard commercial grade specifications. Ensure the package type matches the required DO-35 form factor for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the Zener voltage tolerance and impedance parameters against your schematic requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 19.2 V reference is required with minimal temperature drift. The 500 mW power rating suits low-current applications. Consider the DO-35 package constraints regarding board space and lead bending radius. Verify that the low noise specification meets the sensitivity requirements of the downstream circuitry compared to standard Zener diodes.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the family of single Zener diodes offered by Microchip Technology. It serves as a specialized reference element distinct from general-purpose rectifier or switching diodes within the broader semiconductor portfolio. The product line emphasizes stability and noise performance for critical analog functions rather than high-power handling or fast switching speeds.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with generic 19.2 V Zener diodes only if temperature compensation and low noise specifications are non-critical for the application.
