Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure the component is mounted on a PCB with appropriate soldering techniques.
   • Avoid excessive heat during soldering to prevent damage.

2. Handling:

   • Handle the component with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage.
   • Use anti-static precautions to prevent ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage.

3. Operating Conditions:

   • Ensure the operating temperature does not exceed the specified range (-40°C to 150°C).
   • Do not exceed the maximum power dissipation (200 mW).

4. Zener Operation:

   • The zener diode should be operated at the test current (IzT = 5 mA) for optimal performance.
   • The zener voltage (Vz) is specified at the test current and may vary within the tolerance range (±5%).

5. Storage:

   • Store the component in a dry, cool place within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).

6. Testing:

   • Use a multimeter or a dedicated zener tester to verify the zener voltage and other parameters.
   • Ensure the test conditions match the specified test current (IzT = 5 mA).

7. Circuit Design:

   • When designing circuits, ensure that the reverse current (IR) does not exceed 1 μA to maintain reliable operation.
   • Consider the capacitance (Cj = 4 pF) when integrating the zener diode into high-frequency circuits.
