1N5241C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5241C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series, housed in a DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass axial-lead package. It provides an 11 V nominal Zener voltage with a ±2% tolerance and operates at a test current of 20 mA. The device dissipates up to 500 mW, features a maximum dynamic resistance of 22 Ω, and maintains a reverse leakage current of 2 μA at 8.4 V. It withstands junction temperatures up to 175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific suffix requirements for your application. Confirm the package type aligns with your PCB footprint and thermal management strategy. Ensure compliance with material categorization standards by referencing the manufacturer's documentation. Validate electrical parameters against your circuit design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 11 V reference is required with minimal deviation. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for sensitive analog circuits where standard tolerances are insufficient. Consider the DO-35 package size and lead length constraints during layout planning. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics to ensure adequate heat dissipation under continuous operating 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 wide range of voltages from 2.4 V to 75 V. The 'C' suffix specifically denotes the tighter ±2% tolerance variant, distinguishing it from the standard ±5% 'B' suffix devices within the same product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 11 V Zener diodes in the DO-35 package. Verify that replacement parts meet or exceed the 500 mW power dissipation rating and maintain similar dynamic resistance values. Ensure the alternative component supports the required 175 °C junction temperature limit.
