1N5241C-TP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MCC 1N5241C-TP is a 0.5W Zener diode with an 11V nominal breakdown voltage and 2% tolerance, housed in a DO-35 glass package. It operates within a -55°C to +150°C temperature range and features a maximum reverse leakage current of 2µA at 8.4V. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.076%/°C and maintains a maximum Zener impedance of 22Ω at the test current of 20mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation through a metallurgically bonded glass construction
• Supports high-temperature soldering processes up to 260°C for ten seconds
• Features corrosion-resistant external surfaces and readily solderable leads

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable DC levels
• Overvoltage protection stages in electronic systems
• General-purpose clipping and clamping applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors to ensure full traceability and compliance with quality standards. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required tolerance level, as ordering variations exist. Review the manufacturer's documentation regarding life support usage restrictions before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 11V regulated potential is required with tight 2% accuracy. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified 500mW power dissipation and derating requirements above 50°C. Verify that the DO-35 axial leaded form factor aligns with the target board layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard JEDEC registered 1N5221B through 1N5267B series of 0.5-watt Zener Voltage Regulators. The 'C' suffix specifically denotes a tighter 2% voltage tolerance compared to the standard 5% 'B' suffix variants within the same family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5241B (5% tolerance) and surface mount equivalents like the MLL5241B. Verify that substitute components match the DO-35 package dimensions and thermal characteristics.
