Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for tin/lead plating when placing orders, as availability may vary by manufacturer lot. Confirm that the tape and reel packaging matches your automated assembly equipment specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 0.39mA current limit is required in a compact axial leaded form factor. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 100V peak rating and that the thermal environment remains within the specified -65°C to +200°C junction temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N5288 series of current regulator diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor. It serves as a discrete alternative to active current source ICs, offering simple two-terminal operation for basic current limiting tasks in analog and digital circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N5288 equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement maintains the 0.39mA regulation current and 100V voltage rating.
