1N5524C/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5524C/TR is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and reference applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±2%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C. It utilizes a DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole package and is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation with a nominal 5.6 V Zener potential
• Capable of handling up to 500 mW of power dissipation
• Operates reliably across an extended industrial temperature range

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• Clipping and clamping applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the required ±2% tolerance, as other suffixes like 'A' or 'D' denote different tolerances. Confirm the '/TR' designation matches the required tape and reel packaging format for automated assembly processes. Ensure the DO-204AH package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 5.6 V reference is needed with tighter tolerance than standard variants. The 500 mW rating suits low-power regulation tasks. Verify that the axial leaded form factor fits the mechanical design, as surface mount alternatives may be required for space-constrained layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N55xx series of glass-passivated Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series offers various voltage options and tolerance grades. The 1N5524C variant specifically targets applications requiring higher precision compared to the standard ±10% tolerance versions available in the same family.
