Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation, as variations such as AP, BK, or TR denote different packaging or plating configurations rather than functional changes. Confirm availability status, as this product line has been transitioned to End of Life (EOL) status by the manufacturer. Request technical data directly from engineering support if replacement sourcing is required due to discontinuation.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 82 V reference is required in a through-hole design. Ensure the application accounts for the positive temperature coefficient inherent to Zener voltages above approximately 7 V. Verify that the thermal management strategy accommodates the specified operating temperature range and power dissipation limits under worst-case load conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5221B through 1N5278B series of 500 mW silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series covers a voltage range from 2.4 V to 170 V with standard 5% tolerance options.
