Product details

Adjustable shunt reference for precision bias and regulation

It sinks up to 100 mA and operates with a cathode current as low as 1 mA, making it a flexible building block for precision regulators, error amplifiers, and overvoltage protection circuits in commercial-temperature equipment (0°C to 70°C). The ±2.2% tolerance is the standard commercial grade — adequate for general-purpose supplies and bias rails where tighter precision is not required. The TO-92-3 through-hole package suits prototyping, legacy board repairs, and designs where surface-mount is not preferred.

The 36 V maximum output voltage covers common intermediate rails without needing a separate higher-voltage reference. The 100 mA sink capability is the total current the shunt can draw to maintain regulation.

It is RoHS3 compliant.

Commercial temperature grade — indoor use only

It is not qualified for automotive under-hood, outdoor telecom cabinets, or industrial motor drives where the ambient exceeds 70°C or dips below freezing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for TL431CLPR — the LM4132AMF-4.1/NOPB?

The LM4132AMF-4.1/NOPB is a series voltage reference with a fixed 4.096 V output, ±0.05% tolerance, and surface-mount SOT-23 package. It is not a pin-compatible or functional replacement for the TL431CLPR, which is an adjustable shunt reference in a through-hole TO-92-3 package. The two parts serve different circuit roles — the TL431 is for shunt regulation; the LM4132 is a series reference for precision bias. No direct second-source exists for the TL431CLPR, but the TL431 family is widely second-sourced by multiple manufacturers (e.g., ON Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics) with identical pino
