1N5264

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5264 is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 60V with a tight tolerance of 2%. The device operates in a DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-lead package, supporting a power dissipation of 500 mW. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA and a Zener impedance of 130 Ohms at a test current of 4.17 mA. It functions within an extended temperature range from -65°C to +200°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with a 2% tolerance specification.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix letter associated with the part number to confirm the exact voltage tolerance level, as the base series includes various tolerance options. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states the hermetic sealing status if required for environmental compliance. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance status and any recent manufacturing site changes.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 60V reference is required in a through-hole configuration. The 2% tolerance makes it suitable for precision analog circuits where standard commercial tolerances are insufficient. Consider the 500 mW power rating and thermal management requirements for the intended operating environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5221 through 1N5281B series of 0.5-watt Zener voltage regulators manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series offers a wide selection of voltages ranging from 2.4V to 200V. The 1N5264 specifically addresses the need for higher voltage regulation with tighter accuracy standards compared to general-purpose variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5264 equivalents or parts from the same Microchip series with adjusted tolerance suffixes. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement meets the 2% tolerance requirement for critical applications.
