1N5532C/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5532C/TR is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 12 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within an extended junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C. Packaged in the DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole format, it exhibits a maximum Zener impedance of 90 Ohms and a reverse leakage current of 50 nA at 10.8 V.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with a nominal 12 V breakdown point.
• Ensures stable operation across extreme thermal environments up to 175°C.
• Offers high accuracy with a ±2% voltage tolerance specification.

Applications

• Precision voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• General-purpose voltage regulation

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix /TR indicates tape and reel packaging rather than bulk supply when ordering. Confirm the manufacturer's RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details prior to integration. Ensure the component meets all environmental export control classifications required for your region before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 V regulation point is required with strict tolerance limits. The DO-204AH package suits designs needing robust axial leads for through-hole mounting. Consider the 500 mW power rating against expected thermal loads to ensure reliable long-term performance in the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N5532 series of Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares core electrical characteristics with variants like the 1N5532C but differs in packaging configuration. The series is widely recognized for its reliability in discrete semiconductor applications requiring stable voltage clamping.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include the 1N5532D and 1N5532D-1 from Microchip Technology. Verify that any replacement matches the specific ±2% tolerance requirement, as other variants may offer different accuracy levels such as ±1% or ±5%.
