1N5246B_T50A

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5246B_T50A is a single-channel general-purpose Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 16 V and a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW. It features a 5% voltage tolerance, a test current of 7.8 mA, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA. The device utilizes a DO-35 through-hole package with a typical Zener impedance of 17 Ohms and a voltage temperature coefficient of 0.083 %/C. It operates within a temperature range from -65 C to +200 C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a nominal 16 V level for circuit protection and reference applications.
• Utilizes a glass axial-lead DO-35 package designed for reliable through-hole mounting.
• Maintains low reverse leakage current to ensure minimal power loss in non-conducting states.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in low-power electronic circuits
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive components
• Reference voltage generation in analog signal processing

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T50A against official datasheets to confirm packaging details and screening levels. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the DO-35 footprint. Cross-reference manufacturer documentation for any updates on RoHS compliance or material declarations prior to final procurement decisions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 16 V Zener reference is required with moderate precision. The DO-35 package suits designs needing robust mechanical stability. Consider the 500 mW power rating for thermal management in enclosed environments. Verify that the 17 Ohm impedance meets the dynamic load requirements of the target application.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N52xxB series of 0.5 W Zener diodes manufactured by onsemi. The series offers a wide selection of voltages with standardized tolerances.
