1N5296 BK TIN/LEAD

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N5296 BK TIN/LEAD is a single current regulator diode designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-7-2 package. It operates with a maximum limit voltage of 100 V and provides a regulated current of 1.001 mA at a power dissipation of 475 mW. The device functions within a temperature range from -65 °C to +200 °C. This component serves as a stable current source for electronic circuits requiring precise current limiting without complex biasing networks.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Feature Summary

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm lead-free or tin/lead plating options, as these affect compliance status. Confirm availability directly with authorized distributors since this part may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure the selected variant matches the required current tolerance and voltage rating for the target application.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed current sink is required rather than a voltage reference. Verify that the load impedance allows for the specified maximum limit voltage of 100 V. Consider thermal management requirements given the 475 mW power dissipation capability and the operating temperature range limits.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the JAN1N5296 series of current regulator diodes manufactured by Microchip/Microsemi under the Central Semiconductor brand. These devices are distinct from Zener diodes, offering current regulation instead of voltage clamping. The series is often used in military and aerospace applications due to its reliability and wide temperature range.
