PMBZ5242B Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The PMBZ5242B is a single Zener diode from Philips, designed for voltage regulation and protection applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6V with a tolerance of ±5%, ensuring stable operation within 5.32V to 5.88V. The diode is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 250mW, making it suitable for low-power circuits.

Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 1µA at a reverse voltage of 3.5V. The device is commonly used in voltage reference, overvoltage clamping, and signal limiting circuits. The package type is not specified in the available data, but the part is typically available in through-hole or surface-mount packages depending on the specific variant.

Designers should consider the power dissipation limits and ensure adequate derating for ambient temperature. The ±5% tolerance provides predictable voltage regulation for precision applications. For detailed thermal and mounting information, consult the manufacturer's datasheet.
