1N5235B-G

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Comchip Technology 1N5235B-G is an axial leaded glass Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 6.8 V and a power dissipation rating of 500 mW. It features a ±5% voltage tolerance, a maximum dynamic impedance of 5 Ω at a test current of 20 mA, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 µA at 10 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C and utilizes the DO-35 package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using a glass encapsulated silicon structure.
• Features sharp reverse characteristics for precise clamping applications.
• Includes polarity indication via a cathode band on the component body.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits
• Reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation when sourcing, as the 1N5235B part number is produced by multiple vendors including Microchip and Rectron. Confirm that the Comchip Technology variant matches the required electrical tolerances and thermal ratings for the intended design environment before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a standard 6.8 V reference in through-hole assemblies. Ensure the circuit layout accommodates the DO-35 package dimensions and allows for adequate heat sinking if operating near the maximum power dissipation limit at elevated ambient temperatures.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5221B-G through 1N5267B-G series from Comchip Technology. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, all sharing the same 500 mW power rating and DO-35 axial leaded glass package format.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5235B manufactured by other suppliers such as Microchip or Rectron. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement meets the same 500 mW power dissipation and ±5% tolerance specifications.
