1N5234A/TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5234A/TR is a 0.5-watt glass axial-lead Zener diode housed in a DO-35 (DO-204AH) package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a ±10% tolerance, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C and features a maximum reverse current of 1000 µA at 5.0 V. Electrical characteristics include a Zener impedance of 7.0 Ohms at a test current of 20 mA and a positive voltage temperature coefficient of +0.045 %/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration
• Constructed with a hermetically sealed glass body for environmental protection

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise potential levels
• Overvoltage protection stages in electronic systems
• General-purpose voltage regulation tasks

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required specifications. The 'TR' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging, while the 'A' suffix confirms the specific voltage tolerance. Ensure compatibility with the intended manufacturing process and confirm RoHS compliance status if required by the design constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2 V regulation point is needed with moderate tolerance requirements. The DO-35 package suits standard through-hole layouts. Consider the positive temperature coefficient for thermal stability analysis. Verify that the 500 mW power dissipation rating aligns with the expected circuit load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 through 1N5281B series of 0.5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 2.4 to 200 volts. Variations in tolerance are defined by suffix letters, with 'A' denoting ±10%. The series is JEDEC registered and available in various screening levels.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts within the same series include 1N5233A and 1N5235A, which share the DO-35 package and 0.5 W rating but differ in nominal voltage.
