NOTE 1 No Suffix type numbers are +20% with guaranteed limits for only VZ, lR, and VF. Units
with “A” suffix are +10% with guaranteed limits for VZ, lR, and VF. 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%.
NOTE 2 Zener voltage is measured with the device junction in thermal equilibrium at an ambient
temperature of 25°C + 3°C.
NOTE 3 Zener impedance is derived by superimposing on 1ZT A 60Hz rms a.c. current equal to 10% of 1ZT.
NOTE 4 Reverse leakage currents are measured at VRas shown on the table.
NOTE 5 VZ is the maximum difference between VZ at lZT and VZat lZL measured with
the device junction in thermal equilibrium at the ambient temperature of +25°C +3°C.
