1N5234CTR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 1N5234CTR is a single general-purpose Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 6.2 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. The device utilizes an SOD-27 axial leaded package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a test current of 20 mA, a maximum Zener impedance of 7 Ω, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 μA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a nominal 6.2 V level
• Supports high-temperature operation up to 200°C
• Utilizes a standard axial leaded package for through-hole integration

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Reference voltage sources in electronic systems
• Overvoltage protection applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTR' against official Fairchild or onsemi documentation to confirm reel packaging specifications and exact binning criteria. Ensure compatibility with RoHS standards if required by the target application. Cross-reference the part number with current manufacturer databases as Fairchild products are now managed under onsemi.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.2 V reference is needed with moderate tolerance requirements. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for industrial environments. Verify that the 500 mW power rating aligns with the expected current draw in the circuit design to prevent thermal overload.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N52xx series of Zener diodes, widely used for basic voltage regulation tasks. The 1N5234 variant specifically targets the 6.2 V market segment. As part of the legacy Fairchild portfolio now integrated into onsemi, it represents a standard industry solution for low-power voltage clamping and reference applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5234B from various manufacturers offering similar 6.2 V regulation. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Check if tighter tolerance variants like the 1N5234BT are available if stricter voltage accuracy is required.
