• Positive temperature coefficient characteristic above 5V

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• Clamping applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to industry counterfeiting risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free finish specifications against current datasheet revisions before procurement. Ensure storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity level requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 V regulation point is required in a through-hole design. The 500 mW power rating suits low-current applications. Verify that the positive temperature coefficient aligns with circuit thermal stability needs. Compare against other series members if different voltage levels are necessary.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221B through 1N5267B series of 500 mW Zener diodes manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V in the standard DO-35 package. The 'B' suffix specifically denotes a 5% voltage tolerance.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Vishay 1N5240B or Microchip 1N5240B for equivalent specifications. Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility during substitution.
