1N6006D

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N6006D is a 500 mW Zener diode with an 18 V nominal voltage and 1% tolerance. It operates in the -65°C to +175°C range within a hermetically sealed DO-35 axial package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA, a dynamic impedance of 42 Ohms at 5 mA test current, and a typical temperature coefficient of +0.083 %/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass construction for environmental protection
• High-reliability screening available per MIL-PRF-19500 standards
• Internal metallurgical bonds ensure structural integrity
• Minimal capacitance characteristics suitable for sensitive circuits

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation across broad operating currents
• Temperature-compensated reference circuits
• Protection against electrostatic discharge events

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required reliability level and RoHS compliance status. Confirm the manufacturer source, as historical production may involve Microsemi or Microchip Technology entities. Ensure the component meets the necessary military or commercial screening specifications for your application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is required with tight tolerance constraints. The positive temperature coefficient makes it suitable for compensation applications. Verify that the power dissipation requirements align with the thermal resistance limits provided in the datasheet for your specific mounting conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5985B-1 through 1N6031B-1 series of axial-leaded Zener diodes. The 'D' suffix specifically denotes a 1% voltage tolerance, offering higher precision compared to standard B (5%) or A (10%) variants within the same JEDEC registered family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include 1N6006B for 5% tolerance or 1N6006C for 2% tolerance. Verify compatibility regarding screening levels and packaging options if substituting with non-Microchip sources.
