1N5234B BK TIN/LEAD

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5234B BK TIN/LEAD is a single Zener diode manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp, designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-35-2 axial lead package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a 5% tolerance and a power dissipation rating of 500 mW. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C, with a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA and a Zener impedance of 10 ohms at a test current of 20 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation via Zener breakdown characteristics in the reverse bias region.
• Utilizes a glass-encapsulated DO-35 axial lead package suitable for high-temperature environments up to 200°C.
• Offers tight voltage tolerance of ±5% for precise reference applications.

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 'BK TIN/LEAD' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm plating composition and packaging format. Ensure the DO-35 package dimensions align with PCB layout requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are mandated by the end application standards.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2 V Zener voltage is required with moderate power handling capabilities. The DO-35 package is appropriate for general-purpose through-hole assembly. Consider the 500 mW dissipation limit and thermal management needs during operation. Verify that the 5% tolerance meets the circuit's precision requirements compared to tighter tolerance alternatives.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52xx series of 500 mW Zener diodes produced by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series provides a wide range of voltage options from low voltages up to higher breakdown values, all sharing similar package and power characteristics. The 1N5234B specifically targets the 6.2 V segment of this lineup.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N5234B equivalents in DO-35 packages. Verify electrical parameters such as Zener voltage, impedance, and power rating match or exceed original specifications before substitution.
