1N5246BTR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5246BTR is a single Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 16 V and a tolerance of ±5%. It operates within a power dissipation range of up to 500 mW at 25°C, derating by 4.0 mW/°C above this temperature. The device features a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 12 V and a typical Zener impedance of 17 Ω measured at a test current of 7.8 mA. It utilizes an axial lead DO-35 package (Case 017AG) and supports a junction temperature range from −65°C to +200°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation through avalanche breakdown characteristics in the reverse bias region.
• Features a hermetically sealed glass axial lead package designed for reliable through-hole mounting.
• Maintains consistent electrical performance across a wide operating temperature range extending to +200°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise potential levels

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets required RoHS and REACH compliance standards for your target market. Ensure the selected variant matches the intended thermal management requirements and physical mounting constraints of the final assembly design.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 V reference point is required with moderate precision. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure power dissipation limits are not exceeded during continuous operation. Consider the axial lead form factor for compatibility with existing printed circuit board layouts and automated insertion equipment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221B through 1N5252B series of general-purpose Zener diodes manufactured by onsemi. The series covers a broad voltage spectrum from 2.4 V to 24 V, providing designers with standardized options for various regulation needs. The 1N5246BTR specifically addresses applications needing a 16 V breakdown characteristic.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 16 V Zener diodes in the DO-35 package. Verify that alternative parts match the 5% tolerance, 500 mW power rating, and similar impedance specifications to ensure functional interchangeability without redesigning the host circuit.
