1N5236B

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The SMC Diode Solutions 1N5236B is a single-channel Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 2 V, a forward voltage of 900 mV at 10 mA, and a maximum dynamic impedance of 17 Ohms. It is housed in an SOD-123 surface-mount package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes an SOD-123 surface-mount package for compact circuit integration.
• Operates reliably across a wide junction temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

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

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation when sourcing, as the 1N5236B part number is widely used by multiple semiconductor manufacturers including Vishay, Microsemi, and TDK. Confirm that the supplier is indeed SMC Diode Solutions and that the specifications match the SOD-123 package and 500 mW power rating. Request the official datasheet to validate parameters such as the 17 Ohm impedance and 5 µA leakage current before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 7.5 V reference in a small surface-mount footprint. Ensure the application current does not exceed the thermal limits associated with the 500 mW power dissipation rating. Compare against other SOD-123 Zener diodes if tighter tolerances or lower impedance are required, noting that standard 5% tolerance is typical for this series.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

The 1N5236B belongs to the standard 1N52xx series of glass axial-leaded Zener diodes, though the SMC Diode Solutions variant utilizes an SOD-123 surface-mount package. This series covers a broad voltage range from 2.4 V to 200 V. The 1N5236B specifically targets the 7.5 V segment, offering a balance of precision and power handling suitable for general electronic equipment.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay 1N5236B-TR or MCC MMXZ5236B-TP for equivalent 7.5 V Zener performance. Verify package compatibility (SOD-123 vs DO-35) and power ratings during substitution.
