Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 1N966B TR PBFREE designation to ensure correct voltage and tolerance specifications. Confirm the presence of the Pb-free suffix if environmental compliance is required. Check datasheet details for exact test currents and impedance values relevant to your circuit design before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 V regulation point is needed with moderate precision. The DO-35 package suits standard PCB layouts. Ensure the application current stays within limits defined by the 500 mW power rating. Verify compatibility with operating temperatures up to 200°C if used in high-heat environments.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N966 series of Zener diodes from Central Semiconductor. It shares the DO-35 form factor common to many axial diodes but is distinct due to its specific 16 V breakdown voltage and low impedance characteristics. The series offers various voltage options for different regulation needs.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 16 V Zener diodes in DO-35 packages. Verify that substitute parts match the 17 ohm impedance and 500 mW power rating. Ensure thermal performance and tolerance levels are equivalent for direct replacement.
