JANTX1N6326

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The JANTX1N6326US is a single Zener diode manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for surface-mount applications in the B-SQ-MELF-2 package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 12 V with a tolerance of ±5% and operates at a test current of 20 mA. The device has a power dissipation rating of 500 mW and a Zener impedance of 7 Ohms. It supports an operating temperature range from -65°C to +175°C and exhibits a voltage temperature coefficient of 0.083 %/°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using a single Zener diode configuration.
• Engineered for surface-mount technology (SMT) installation.
• Capable of operation across an extended industrial temperature range.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection systems
• Precision voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., US for bulk SMD) against project requirements, as packaging and lead times vary. Confirm compliance with MIL-PRF-19500 standards if military qualification is required. Check RoHS status, as this component may not be compliant. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the lot charge.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 V regulation point is needed in a compact surface-mount form factor. The B-SQ-MELF-2 package suits automated assembly processes. Consider the 500 mW power limit and thermal management needs for high-temperature environments up to 175°C. Verify that the 7 Ohm impedance meets circuit noise and stability requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JANTX series of Zener diodes produced by Microchip Technology. The JANTX designation indicates enhanced reliability testing beyond standard commercial grades but below full military JANS qualification. It is part of a broader family of voltage regulator diodes offering various breakdown voltages and packages.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

JANTX1N6326CUS/TR offers identical electrical specifications in a tape-and-reel format for automated placement. Standard commercial equivalents like 1N6326 lack the enhanced screening and reliability data associated with the JANTX grade.
