1N5230/TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5230/TR is a Zener diode manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for voltage regulation applications. It operates within the standard 1N52xx series range, offering a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V with a power dissipation rating of 500 mW. The component utilizes a DO-204AH axial leaded package and supports through-hole mounting. It features a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 uA and a Zener impedance of 10 Ohms at a test current of 20 mA. The device is supplied in a reel format and maintains an operating temperature range from -65 C to +175 C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using a single Zener diode configuration.
• Constructed with a metallurgically bonded glass surface mount or axial leaded structure for durability.
• Capable of operation across extended industrial temperature ranges up to 175 C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General purpose voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• Biasing networks in analog signal processing

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Microchip documentation to confirm exact tolerance and testing levels. Confirm that the reel packaging aligns with automated assembly requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor listings to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.7 V regulation point is required with moderate power handling capabilities. The 500 mW rating suits low-current applications where thermal management is straightforward. Consider the axial leaded package for prototyping or environments requiring robust mechanical attachment. Evaluate the 10 Ohm impedance for noise sensitivity in precision reference designs.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely recognized 1N5221 through 1N5281B series of 0.5 watt Zener Voltage Regulators. The series provides a broad selection of voltages from 2.4 to 200 volts. Microchip Technology produces these devices in both through-hole and surface mount configurations to meet diverse manufacturing needs.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include Vishay 1N5230B-TR and Microsemi MSP1N5230DE3TR. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement meets the 500 mW power dissipation and 4.7 V Zener voltage specifications.
