Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as historical production may involve Microsemi Corporation or Actel prior to acquisition by Microchip Technology. Confirm the specific suffix codes if available, as they may indicate temperature range or reliability grade variations. Ensure the axial lead form matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference datasheets from authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and compliance certifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 130 V reference is required with moderate power handling capabilities. The 3 W rating allows for operation in higher current scenarios compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives. Consider the axial package constraints regarding board space and orientation. Verify that the ±5% tolerance aligns with the system's voltage accuracy requirements without necessitating additional trimming circuitry.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the family of single Zener diodes used for discrete voltage regulation. Historically associated with Microsemi Corporation and Actel before their integration into Microchip Technology, these components are known for ruggedness. The 1N5098 specifically addresses needs for medium-power voltage clamping and reference applications where through-hole mounting is preferred for mechanical strength.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 130 V, 3 W axial Zener diodes from manufacturers such as Digitron Semiconductors. Ensure replacement parts match the DO-41 package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Verify that alternative sources provide equivalent glass-passivation technology to maintain reliability standards.
