1N962B

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 1N962B is a silicon unidirectional voltage regulator diode housed in the DO-35 glass package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a 5% tolerance and a power dissipation rating of 0.4 W at 25°C. The device operates within a junction temperature range up to 175°C and supports lead soldering temperatures up to 230°C for ten seconds.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using silicon planar technology
• Utilizes a hermetically sealed DO-35 glass axial leaded package
• Features isolated case construction for flexible mounting

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• Clipping and clamping applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Fairchild Semiconductor's discrete semiconductor division was acquired by onsemi. Confirm that the specific lot corresponds to Fairchild production rather than onsemi manufacturing. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards required for your assembly process before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 11 V regulation point is required in a low-power environment. The DO-35 package suits through-hole designs where space allows. Consider the 0.4 W thermal limit carefully; higher power requirements may necessitate the 1N962BT variant or similar half-watt devices.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N96x series of Zener diodes, which covers a wide range of voltage ratings from approximately 5.1 V to 100 V. These components are widely used in general-purpose electronics for basic voltage stabilization tasks due to their reliability and standardized packaging.
