1N5232BTA

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5232BTA is a single general-purpose Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 5.6 V and a tolerance of ±5%. It features a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C TJ. The device utilizes a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded glass package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a test current of 20 mA, a maximum Zener impedance of 11 Ohms, and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 3 V.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using a 5.6 V Zener breakdown characteristic.
• Constructed in a hermetically sealed glass axial-lead DO-35 package for robustness.
• Capable of operating at junction temperatures up to 200°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable DC levels.
• Overvoltage protection stages in electronic systems.
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' indicates the 5% tolerance grade as documented. Confirm the package type matches the required DO-35 axial lead form factor for your PCB layout. Ensure thermal management supports the 500 mW dissipation limit at your operating junction temperature. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for any updates on screening levels or environmental compliance status.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.6 V reference with moderate precision is required. The 500 mW rating suits low-power regulation tasks. The wide temperature range allows use in harsh environments. Consider the 11 Ohm impedance for dynamic load requirements. Verify that the axial lead style fits the assembly process constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52 series of 0.5 W Zener Voltage Regulators. The series offers a broad selection of voltages from 2.4 V to 200 V. These components are standard industry replacements for legacy designs. The 1N5232BTA specifically addresses the common 5.6 V requirement in general electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the Fairchild Semiconductor 1N5232BTR and Microsemi MQ1N5232BTR-1. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Check if military screening levels are required for critical applications.
