Half Watt Zeners

Parameter	Value	Unit
Type	Zener Diode
Zener Voltage (Vz)	8.2	V
Power Dissipation (Pz)	500	mW
Operating Temperature	-65 to +175	掳C
Forward Current (If)	200	mA
Reverse Current (Ir) at 1V	5	渭A

Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting: Ensure the diode is mounted in a way that it can dissipate heat effectively, especially if operating near its maximum power dissipation.
2. Polarity: Pay attention to the polarity of the diode. The cathode (negative side) should be connected to the higher potential when used as a Zener diode.
3. Voltage Regulation: The 1N758A is designed to regulate voltage at 8.2V. Ensure that the input voltage to the circuit exceeds this value for proper regulation.
4. Current Limiting: Use a current-limiting resistor if necessary to prevent exceeding the maximum forward current and power dissipation ratings.
5. Temperature Considerations: Be mindful of the operating temperature range. Extreme temperatures can affect performance and longevity.
6. Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
