1N5245B BK TIN/LEAD

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N5245B BK TIN/LEAD is a single silicon Zener diode housed in a DO-35 axial leaded package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a 5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C, exhibiting a Zener impedance of 16 Ohms at a test current of 8.5 mA. Maximum reverse leakage current is specified at 100 nA, with a voltage temperature coefficient of 0.082%/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation through a single unidirectional Zener junction.
• Utilizes a glass-passivated DO-35 axial leaded package for through-hole mounting.
• Supports extended thermal operation up to +200°C junction temperature.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise potential levels.
• Overvoltage protection stages in electronic systems.
• General-purpose voltage regulation tasks.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix BK TIN/LEAD against manufacturer documentation to confirm lead composition and packaging format. Ensure the requested quantity aligns with available factory packaging configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are required for the target assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 V regulation point is required in a standard axial package. Evaluate the 500 mW power rating against expected circuit dissipation. Consider the 16 Ohm impedance value for dynamic load requirements. Verify that the DO-35 footprint matches the printed circuit board layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52xxB series of 0.5 W Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage options within the DO-35 glass axial package. These components are designed for general-purpose regulation applications where moderate power handling and standard tolerances are sufficient.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering the 1N5245B designation. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent electrical parameters such as Zener voltage and power dissipation are met before substitution.
