1N5241B-TP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N5241B-TP is a single Zener diode housed in a DO-35 glass axial package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a 5% tolerance at a test current of 20 mA. The device supports a DC power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 µA at 8.4 V, a Zener impedance of 22 Ω, and a positive temperature coefficient of +0.076 %/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes a hermetically sealed glass package for environmental stability
• Supports high-temperature soldering conditions up to 260°C
• Features a positive voltage temperature coefficient suitable for higher voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• General-purpose rectification and clamping applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the component by checking for authorized distributor channels or direct manufacturer purchase. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required packaging format, as variations exist between tape-and-reel, ammo pack, and bulk configurations. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any lead-in-glass exemptions relevant to your assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 11 V regulation point is required in a through-hole design. The DO-35 package offers standard axial mounting compatibility. Consider the thermal derating curve if operating above 50°C, as power dissipation decreases linearly beyond this threshold. Verify that the 22 Ω impedance meets the noise and ripple requirements of the target circuit.

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 primarily in their breakdown voltage and associated impedance values. The 'B' suffix consistently denotes a 5% voltage tolerance across the entire lineup.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5241B variants. Cross-reference must ensure identical DO-35 packaging, 500 mW power rating, and 11 V nominal voltage. Verify that alternative sources maintain the same 5% tolerance and thermal performance specifications.
