1N5235B-TP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N5235B-TP is a 6.8 V Zener diode with a 500 mW DC power dissipation rating, housed in a DO-35 glass axial package. It features a 5% voltage tolerance and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The device exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 µA at 5 V and a dynamic impedance of 5 Ohms at the 20 mA test current.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using a silicon junction within a hermetically sealed glass enclosure.
• Supports high-temperature soldering processes at 260°C for 10 seconds at the terminals.
• Includes a cathode band marking for correct polarity identification during installation.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• Clipping and waveform shaping

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking for the specific MCC branding and cathode band markings on the glass body. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free finish requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.8 V reference is required in through-hole designs. The DO-35 package offers standard mounting compatibility. Consider the positive temperature coefficient for applications where voltage stability increases slightly with heat.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221B through 1N5267B series, which covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. All devices in this family share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing only in their nominal breakdown voltage specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N5235B equivalents. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 500 mW power rating and DO-35 footprint to ensure mechanical fit without redesign.
