Single Zener Diodes Overview

The SB5200 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, housed in the DO-201AD axial through-hole package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current rating of 5 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 5 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 mA at 200 V. Operating junction temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky technology provides fast switching characteristics with low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency.
• Axial leaded DO-201AD package enables reliable through-hole mounting for general-purpose applications.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• High-frequency rectification in power supply circuits
• Free-wheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection in electronic systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm technical specifications and compliance status. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as cut tape or tape and reel, as these affect handling but not electrical performance. Cross-reference datasheets for thermal derating curves relevant to your operating environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current Schottky rectifier with through-hole mounting is required. The 5 A current rating and 200 V blocking voltage suit medium-power applications. Consider the DO-201AD package size for board space constraints and verify thermal management requirements based on ambient temperature conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the SB series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. The series offers various voltage and current ratings in standard packages. The SB5200 specifically targets applications needing robust current handling with low loss characteristics in a traditional axial form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 200 V reverse voltage, 5 A current rating, and DO-201AD package dimensions to ensure compatibility.
