Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix -TP indicates RoHS compliance as defined by the manufacturer. Confirm the specific packaging format required, such as tape and reel or bulk box quantities. Ensure the procurement channel is an authorized distributor to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability. Check for halogen-free availability if the -HF suffix is needed.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.8V reference with 5W power handling is required. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified thermal limits. Consider the 1Ω dynamic impedance for regulation precision. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 700mA maximum regulator current capability.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5338B through 1N5388B series of 5W Zener diodes manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers a wide voltage range from 5.1V to 200V. All devices share the same DO-15 axial package and similar thermal characteristics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5342B equivalents meeting the 6.8V, 5W, and DO-15 specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the same ±5% voltage tolerance and thermal performance ratings.
