1N5932AG

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi 1N5932AG is a 20V Zener diode with a 10% tolerance, housed in a hermetically sealed glass DO-41 package. It provides voltage regulation within the 1N5913BG to 1N5956BG series, rated for 1.5W steady-state power dissipation at 85°C lead temperature. The device operates from -65°C to +175°C and features low thermal resistance junction-to-lead characteristics.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass body construction with tungsten slugs for enhanced reliability
• Inherently radiation hard design suitable for harsh environments
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 method 1020
• Flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile integration

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad operating current and temperature ranges
• High-reliability military and aerospace electronic circuits
• Radiation-hardened system protection applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' confirms the glass casing and 10% tolerance level. Confirm RoHS compliance status as commercial grades may differ from standard screening levels. Ensure the ordering prefix matches the required reliability level (MQ, MX, MV, or MSP) for the intended application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and radiation hardness are mandatory. The glass package offers lower thermal resistance compared to plastic equivalents. Verify that the 10% voltage tolerance meets circuit requirements, as tighter tolerances require different suffixes like C or D.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5913BG through 1N5956BG series of 1.5-watt glass Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi. The series covers voltages from 3.3V to 200V with various tolerance options. It serves as the glass-cased counterpart to the plastic-bodied 1N5913BP series.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5932BPC (plastic version) and other JEDEC registered 1N5932 variants. Substitutes must match the 20V rating, 1.5W power dissipation, and DO-41 package dimensions.
