1N5234E3/TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5234E3/TR is a Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tolerance of 5%. The device operates in the DO-204AH (DO-35) axial leaded package and supports through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, a test current of 20 mA, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 uA. The unit is supplied in reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation within specified tolerances
• Constructed with glass axial-leaded DO-35 encapsulation
• Supports high-temperature operation up to +175 C

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• General-purpose voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E3' indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free construction as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the 'TR' designation corresponds to reel packaging rather than bulk quantities. Ensure the DO-204AH package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2 V regulation point is required with moderate precision. The 500 mW power rating suits low-current applications. Verify that the 20 mA test current requirement fits the circuit design constraints. Consider the axial lead form factor for manual assembly or standard through-hole manufacturing processes.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52xx series of 0.5 W Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series offers a wide range of voltage options from 2.4 V to 200 V. The 1N5234 variant specifically targets the 6.2 V segment, providing a reliable solution for standard voltage regulation needs in commercial and industrial electronics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N5234B and MQ1N5233E3TR, provided they meet the same voltage and package specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the 5% tolerance and 500 mW power dissipation rating to ensure circuit performance consistency.
