1N5244C-TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N5244C-TR is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 14 V with a tight ±2% tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates at a test current of 9 mA and features a maximum dynamic resistance of 15 Ω at this current. It dissipates up to 500 mW of power and withstands junction temperatures up to 175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• High precision voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance for stable reference applications
• Robust thermal performance supporting operation up to 175 °C junction temperature
• Low dynamic impedance ensuring effective noise filtering and signal conditioning

Single Zener Diodes Applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code explicitly includes the 'C' suffix to confirm the ±2% tolerance specification. Ensure the '-TR' suffix matches the required taped and reeled packaging format for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the document revision date against your internal component approval records.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this variant when circuit design requires tighter voltage accuracy than standard ±5% devices provide. The 14 V breakdown point suits mid-range reference needs within the series. Confirm that the 500 mW power dissipation rating aligns with the thermal management capabilities of the target printed circuit board layout.
