1N5246B-T

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division 1N5246B-T is a silicon planar power Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 16 V. It operates within a test current range of 1.7 to 20 mA and features a standard ±5% tolerance indicated by the 'B' suffix. The device dissipates up to 500 mW, maintains a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 12 V, and exhibits a dynamic resistance of 17 Ω. Packaged in DO-35 (DO-204AH), it supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Designed for single circuit configuration applications

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage stabilization circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the required tolerance level, as the 'B' suffix denotes ±5%. Confirm the package type corresponds to DO-35 (DO-204AH) requirements. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified 500 mW dissipation limit and 175 °C junction temperature rating during integration.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 V reference with moderate precision is required. The DO-35 through-hole package suits manual assembly or specific board layouts. Consider the 17 Ω dynamic resistance for load regulation needs. Verify compatibility with operating temperatures ranging from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221 to 1N5267 series of small signal Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 2.4 V to 75 V, offering various tolerance options including ±5% ('B') and ±2% ('C'). These diodes are widely used in general-purpose electronic designs requiring stable voltage references.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 16 V Zener diodes in DO-35 packages. Ensure equivalent electrical parameters such as 500 mW power dissipation and ±5% tolerance are met before substitution.
