1N5927BP/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5927BP/TR8 is a plastic axial-leaded Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 12 V and a 5% tolerance. It operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C and features a DO-41 package. The device provides steady-state power dissipation of 1.25 W at a lead temperature of 85 °C, or 1.5 W at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. It includes a TR suffix indicating tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Plastic encapsulated construction offering lower thermal resistance compared to glass body options.
• Flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for standard through-hole integration.
• Metallurgically enhanced internal contact design for improved reliability.
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 method 1020.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation across broad operating current ranges
• Temperature-stable reference circuits
• High-reliability electronic assemblies

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to confirm material composition and screening levels. Confirm that the tape and reel format aligns with automated assembly requirements. Ensure environmental compliance status matches project specifications, as commercial grades may differ from military equivalents.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a plastic axial package is required for cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high-temperature operation up to 175 °C. The 5% tolerance suits applications requiring moderate precision. Consider the 1.5 W power rating for steady-state loads and verify lead length constraints during PCB layout.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5913B–1N5956B series of 1.5 W Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series covers voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V with various tolerance options. The 'P' suffix denotes the plastic axial-leaded variant, distinct from the hermetically sealed glass 'G' version.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for equivalent JEDEC numbers. Verify package compatibility and electrical characteristics before replacing with generic alternatives.

Single Zener Diodes FAQ

What is the difference between the BP and BG suffixes?

The 'P' suffix indicates a plastic encapsulated body, which offers lower thermal resistance but lacks hermetic sealing. The 'G' suffix indicates a hermetically sealed glass body with tungsten slugs.

How is the TR suffix defined?

The TR suffix indicates that the device is supplied in a tape and reel format compliant with EIA-296 standards for automated placement.
