E-562

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Overview

The Semitec E-562 is a current regulating diode (CRD) belonging to the E series, designed to maintain a constant current flow despite voltage fluctuations. It features a rated power of 300 mW and supports a maximum rated voltage of 100 V. The device operates within an ambient temperature range of -30°C to +150°C. Its typical pinch-off current at 10 V is 5.6 mA, with a minimum of 5.0 mA and a maximum of 6.5 mA. The limiting current ratio (I100V/Ip) is typically 4.5. The component utilizes a leaded axial package configuration.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Feature Summary

• Maintains constant current output across a wide voltage range from less than 1V to 100V
• Requires only a single component to establish a constant current circuit function
• Provides stable operation regardless of load resistance changes or ripple voltage variations

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Applications

• Constant current source for LED brightness stabilization
• Battery charge and discharge circuits
• Current source for piezoelectric actuators
• Telecommunications line interface
• Earth leakage circuit breakers

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm packaging type. The standard E-series components are available in axial taping formats, including reel and box configurations. Confirm that the required quantity aligns with the minimum taping quantities specified by the supplier before finalizing the order.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Selection Notes

Select the E-562 when a pinch-off current near 5.6 mA is required within a 300 mW power rating. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -30°C to +150°C range. For applications requiring higher power dissipation, consider the S-series equivalent. Verify that the peak working voltage does not exceed the 100 V limit defined for this product number.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Part Context

The E-562 is part of Semitec's broader Current Regulating Diode portfolio, which includes both leaded E-series and surface-mount S-series devices. This specific model represents the axial leaded variant, offering a direct functional substitute for the S-562T in through-hole designs while maintaining identical electrical performance characteristics.

Current Regulation - Diodes, Transistors Replacement Considerations

The S-562T serves as the surface-mount equivalent within the same family. Direct replacement requires adapting the PCB footprint from axial leads to the 2-SMD flat lead package. Electrical parameters remain consistent between the two variants.
