Low Voltage Avalanche
500 mW Zener Diodes DO-35
Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/437
DESCRIPTION
The 1N5518 thru 1N5546 series of 0.5 watt axial-leaded glass Zener Voltage Regulators
provides a selection from 3.3 to 33 volts with tolerances ranging from plus/minus 1% to 20%.
The standard tolerance is plus/minus 5% with the B suffix unless ordered otherwise. These

NOTES:
1. TOLERANCE AND VOLTAGE DESIGNATION –
The JEDEC type numbers shown are +/-20% with guaranteed limits for only V
Z
, I
R
, and V
F
. Units with A suffix are +/-10% with
guaranteed limits for V
Z
, I
R
, and V
F
. Units with guaranteed limits for all six parameters are indicated by a B suffix for +/-5.0% units,
C suffix for +/-2.0% and D suffix for +/-1.0%.
2. ZENER VOLTAGE (V
Z
) MEASUREMENT –
Nominal zener voltage is measured with the device junction in thermal equilibrium with ambient temperature of 25
o
C.
3. ZENER IMPEDANCE (Z
Z
) MEASUREMENT –
The zener impedance is derived from the 60 Hz ac voltage, which results when an ac current having an rms value equal to 10%
of the dc zener current (I
ZT
) is superimposed on I
ZT
.
4. REVERSE LEAKAGE CURRENT (I
R
) –
Reverse leakage currents are guaranteed and are measured at V
R
as shown on the table.
5. MAXIMUM REGULATOR CURRENT (I
ZM
) –
The maximum current shown is as shown in MIL-PRF-19500/437.
6. MAXIMUM REGULATION FACTOR (∆V
Z
) –
∆V
Z
is the maximum difference between V
Z

ZT
and V
Z
at I
ZL
