CL15M35

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Overview

The CL15M35 is a surface-mount current limiting diode from Diotec Semiconductor, designed for constant current regulation in low-power applications. It operates within the SMA (DO-214AC) package and supports a peak operating voltage of 90 V with a total power dissipation of 1 W at 50°C ambient temperature. The nominal regulator current is 15 mA, with a minimum of 12 mA and a maximum of 17 mA at an anode-cathode voltage of 10 V. The device maintains a limiting voltage of 3 V when the load current is 80% of the nominal value. It functions reliably across a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient for the regulator current ranging from -26 to 0.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm compliance requirements. The standard version is designated for commercial use, while suffixes such as -Q indicate AEC-Q101 compliance and -AQ indicates qualification status. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the required automotive or industrial grade specifications before finalizing orders.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Selection Notes

Select the CL15M35 when a fixed 15 mA current limit is required within a 90 V voltage window. Consider parallel configurations if higher current capacity is needed. Verify thermal management capabilities, as power dissipation ratings depend on PCB copper pad size and ambient temperature conditions during operation.
