Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number includes the 'TR' suffix if reel packaging is required, as this indicates tape-and-reel distribution. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the procurement channel is authorized to maintain warranty validity. Cross-reference the DO-35 package dimensions with PCB layout requirements before ordering.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 V Zener voltage is required with moderate impedance characteristics. The 500 mW power rating suits low-current applications. Consider the ±5% tolerance for precision needs. The high maximum junction temperature allows use in demanding thermal environments compared to standard silicon devices.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N968 series of Zener diodes produced by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series offers various voltage options within the DO-35 package. The company specializes in discrete semiconductors, providing both standard and niche products for global markets since 1974.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent parts offering identical 20 V Zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, and DO-35 package. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure replacement devices meet the same temperature and impedance specifications.
