Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Fairchild Semiconductor assets are now managed by onsemi. Confirm that the component meets current RoHS directives and environmental compliance standards required for your manufacturing process. Ensure the ordering suffix corresponds to the correct reel packaging format if bulk procurement is intended.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.7 V reference point is required in a through-hole design. The DO-35 package offers standard axial leads suitable for general-purpose PCB layouts. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the 500 mW power rating during operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52xx series of glass-passivated junction Zener diodes. These components are widely used for general-purpose voltage regulation and protection tasks. The series provides various voltage options within a standardized axial package form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts from other manufacturers may be substituted provided they match the 4.7 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power rating, and DO-35 axial package dimensions.
