1N5235

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The SMC Diode Solutions 1N5235 is a silicon Zener diode housed in a DO-35 glass axial-lead package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8V with a maximum power dissipation of 0.5W at 25°C ambient temperature. The device features a unidirectional configuration and is designed for operation up to a maximum junction temperature of 175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes planar die construction for stable voltage regulation
• Encapsulated in a molded glass DO-35 case for thermal stability
• Terminals are solderable per MIL-STD-750 standards

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• Clamping applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance suffix (e.g., C for 10%) against design requirements, as standard variants may differ. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free plating specifications with the manufacturer or authorized distributor prior to ordering to ensure alignment with environmental regulations.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power DC voltage regulation tasks requiring a 6.8V reference. Ensure the circuit current does not exceed limits that would cause power dissipation beyond 0.5W. Consider the DO-35 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management during high-temperature operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used 1N52xx series of 500mW Zener diodes. These components are standard industry replacements for general-purpose voltage regulation. The DO-35 package is common through-hole technology, suitable for automated assembly processes and manual soldering.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the Microsemi 1N5235A-1E3 and MCC 1N5235C(DO-35)-TP. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical tolerances before substitution.
