1N5233B-G

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Comchip Technology 1N5233B-G is an axial leaded glass Zener diode housed in a DO-35 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 V at a test current of 20 mA with a tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and features a maximum dynamic impedance of 7 Ohms. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 9.1 V, a forward voltage of 1.1 V at 200 mA, and a thermal resistance of 300 °C/W. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to 175°C and a storage temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official datasheets to ensure compliance with required electrical tolerances and package dimensions. Confirm RoHS status and availability through authorized distribution channels prior to procurement. Ensure design specifications align with the documented thermal and electrical limits provided by the manufacturer.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 6V Zener reference in an axial package. Consider the 500mW power rating and thermal resistance when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target system.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5221B-G through 1N5267B-G series of axial leaded glass Zener diodes manufactured by Comchip Technology. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4V to 75V, all sharing the same DO-35 package and 500mW power dissipation rating. The 'G' suffix typically denotes RoHS compliance in this product line.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other manufacturers' 1N5233B variants in the DO-35 package, such as those from Vishay or Microchip, provided they meet the 6V nominal voltage, 500mW power rating, and ±5% tolerance specifications.
