Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'TR' corresponds to reel packaging as indicated by distributor data. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as some variants may differ. Ensure the manufacturer designation matches Fairchild Semiconductor specifications for the required screening level. Cross-reference the part number against official Microchip or Littelfuse catalogs if sourcing from alternative distributors.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.6 V reference is needed in an axial package. Consider the 500 mW power rating for thermal management. Evaluate the 11 Ohm dynamic impedance for noise sensitivity requirements. Compare operating temperature limits against system constraints. Verify package compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52xx series of 0.5 W Zener diodes. The series offers various voltage options in the DO-35 package. Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by ON Semiconductor, which later merged with Microchip Technology. Distribution channels may list the part under different manufacturer names.
