1N5258

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5258 is a silicon unidirectional voltage regulator diode housed in the DO-204AH (DO-35) glass axial-lead package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a standard tolerance of 20%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using a silicon planar structure
• Encased in hermetically sealed glass for environmental protection
• Offers surface mount equivalents via metallurgically bonded configurations

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the 1N5258 designation is utilized by multiple producers including Microsemi and Microchip. Confirm that the required voltage tolerance matches the standard 20% specification unless an 'A' or 'B' suffix is specified. Ensure the package type aligns with the DO-204AH form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V regulation point is required in a through-hole glass package. Consider the 500 mW power limit and the 20% voltage tolerance for circuit design margins. Evaluate alternative suffixes if tighter tolerances are necessary for the application.
