1N5092

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5092 is a single Zener diode designed for through-hole axial mounting. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 3 W and exhibits a maximum impedance (Zzt) of 100 Ohms. Reverse leakage current is specified at 1 µA when tested at 56 V. The component operates within an extended temperature range from -65°C to 175°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass package with triple layer passivation
• Microminiature form factor with metallurgically bonded construction
• Voidless internal structure for enhanced durability

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high thermal stability
• Overvoltage protection in industrial electronics
• Reference voltage sources in precision measurement equipment

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the part was originally produced by Microsemi Corporation before acquisition by Microchip Technology. Confirm that the specific order contains the hermetically sealed glass package variant rather than non-hermetic alternatives. Ensure the axial lead configuration matches the intended PCB layout requirements for through-hole assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 V Zener reference with 3 W power handling is required. The wide operating temperature range up to 175°C makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard silicon devices may fail. Consider the 100 Ohm impedance specification for noise-sensitive applications requiring stable voltage clamping characteristics under varying current loads.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the family of 3-watt glass Zener diodes historically manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. The product line utilizes advanced microminiature packaging techniques to provide robust performance in compact designs. The transition to Microchip Technology maintains the original specifications while ensuring continued supply chain support for legacy industrial systems.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 3 W axial Zener diodes with 75 V nominal voltage and ±5% tolerance. Verify package compatibility and thermal resistance ratings before substitution. Cross-reference with Microsemi/Microchip 1N50xx series equivalents to ensure identical electrical characteristics and hermetic sealing properties.
