• Standard axial-lead configuration for through-hole mounting
• Silicon-based unidirectional voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• General-purpose voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the 1N5247 designation has been produced by multiple vendors including Microsemi and Microchip. Confirm that the received component matches the required 17V rating and DO-7 package dimensions. Ensure compliance with project-specific material restrictions and quality standards before integration into production assemblies.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 17V regulation point is required in a through-hole design. The 20% tolerance makes it suitable for non-critical reference applications. Consider the 0.417W power rating to ensure adequate thermal management within the enclosure. Verify availability from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context
