1N6007B

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N6007B is a 500 mW axial-leaded Zener diode housed in a hermetically sealed glass DO-35 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a 5% tolerance, tested at a current of 5.0 mA. The device exhibits a maximum dynamic impedance of 15 Ohms and a typical temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C. It supports a maximum DC Zener current of 600 mA and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements for your application, as the base part number may have variations for RoHS compliance or military screening levels. Confirm that the supplier documentation matches the JEDEC registered type number and electrical parameters listed in the official datasheet. Ensure the ordering information aligns with the required tolerance and packaging specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 20 V reference is required in a through-hole axial configuration. Consider the positive temperature coefficient for thermal stability needs. Evaluate the power dissipation limits relative to ambient conditions using the derating curve. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for the DO-35 package style.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5985B-1 through 1N6031B-1 series of commercial grade Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 2.4 V to 200 V with various tolerance options. These components are JEDEC registered and serve as equivalents to European Pro Electron BZX55 series products.

Single Zener Diodes FAQ

What is the polarity marking on the 1N6007B?

The cathode is indicated by a band on the package. For Zener regulation, the banded end must be connected positive with respect to the opposite end.

Is the 1N6007B sensitive to electrostatic discharge?

No, the device is non-sensitive to ESD, having been screened according to MIL-STD-750, method 1020.
