1N5235B BK TIN/LEAD

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N5235B BK TIN/LEAD is a single silicon Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in a through-hole DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package and dissipates up to 500 mW of power. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 µA at 5 V, a Zener impedance of 5 Ohms, and a forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -65°C to +200°C junction temperature.
