1N5241B-T

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5241B-T is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package. It provides an 11 V nominal Zener voltage with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the 'B' suffix. The device dissipates up to 500 mW at thermal equilibrium and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 µA at 8.4 V and a typical dynamic resistance of 22 Ω at a test current of 20 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the specific suffix required for the desired packaging format. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization standards before procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the exact electrical tolerances and package dimensions required for the target circuit design.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 11 V reference with tight ±5% tolerance is required. The DO-35 package supports through-hole mounting and high thermal stability. Evaluate the maximum power dissipation limits relative to ambient temperatures to ensure safe operation under continuous load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series covers a broad voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V. Variants are available with different tolerance levels, such as ±2% for the 'C' suffix, or in alternative packages like MiniMELF and SOT-23.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering standard 11 V Zener diodes in the DO-35 package. Verify that substitute components match the 500 mW power rating, ±5% voltage tolerance, and maximum junction temperature specifications.
