PLVA2659A,215

Overview

The PLVA2659A,215 is a dual common anode Zener diode array manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It operates within the PLVA2600A series, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 5.9 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device is housed in a compact SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package, measuring 3 mm x 1.4 mm x 1 mm. It supports a maximum power dissipation of 250 mW and withstands non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 30 W. The component functions reliably across a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C, with a test current of 250 µA and a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA.

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as the PLVA2600A series has been subject to end-of-life notifications. Confirm RoHS compliance and specific packaging options such as cut tape or reel quantities from authorized distributors before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power, low-noise applications requiring precise voltage reference. Ensure the 250 mW power rating and 5.9 V Zener voltage align with circuit requirements. Consider the dual common anode topology for simplified biasing in compact designs.

Part Context

Part of the PLVA2600A series, which includes models ranging from PLVA2650A to PLVA2668A. This series is designed for low current and low power applications, offering small tolerances and low noise characteristics compared to standard Zener diodes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the PLVA2600A series with similar voltage ratings. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when considering alternative manufacturers' dual Zener arrays.
