1N5241/TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5241/TR is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V with a tolerance of 5%. The component operates in the DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole package and dissipates up to 500 mW of power. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 5.6 V, a Zener impedance of 12 Ohms, and a test current of 30 mA. The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -65°C to +175°C junction temperature.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /TR indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some variants may differ. Ensure the DO-204AH footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Check for any regional distribution restrictions before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8.2 V regulation point is required with moderate precision. The 5% tolerance suits general-purpose applications rather than high-precision instrumentation. Consider the 500 mW rating against expected thermal loads in the final assembly. Verify that the axial package style fits the intended manufacturing process.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N52xx series of Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. These components are widely used in discrete semiconductor applications for basic voltage control. The /TR suffix typically denotes tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes.
