CCLM3500 BK

Overview

The CCLM3500 BK is a current regulator diode manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a hermetically sealed glass DO-35 package with two pins. The device is designed to maintain a stable current flow within electronic circuits, offering reliable performance in compact configurations suitable for through-hole mounting applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides constant current regulation using silicon-based semiconductor technology
• Features a hermetically sealed glass construction for environmental protection
• Utilizes a standard DO-35 axial leaded package for easy integration

Applications

• Current limiting in electronic circuits
• Constant current source generation
• Biasing components in analog signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BK' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts requiring DO-35 axial leads. Cross-reference datasheets for thermal derating curves and maximum power dissipation limits before finalizing component selection for production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, low-cost solution for current stabilization is required without active control loops. Consider the DO-35 package constraints regarding PCB hole spacing and lead forming requirements. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure the glass seal integrity remains within specified limits during both storage and active operation phases.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader category of current regulator diodes produced by Central Semiconductor. These devices serve as passive alternatives to active current sources, simplifying circuit design by eliminating the need for complex feedback networks while maintaining consistent current levels across varying voltage conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other DO-35 current regulator diodes from manufacturers such as Digitron or generic equivalents, provided the saturation current and limiting voltage parameters match the original design specifications.
