1EZ12D5-TP

Overview

The 1EZ12D5-TP is a single Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a nominal Zener voltage of 12 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 150 mW and is designed for through-hole mounting in a DO-41 axial leaded package. This component serves as a voltage reference or protection element in electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at 12 V
• Suitable for through-hole assembly processes
• Compact axial leaded package design

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• Clipping circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number including the suffix -TP to ensure correct packaging and compliance specifications. Confirm that the DO-41 package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check datasheet limits for thermal management during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 V Zener reference is required with low power dissipation constraints. Ensure the circuit current does not exceed limits defined by the 150 mW power rating. Verify compatibility with standard axial lead mounting techniques.

Part Context

This part belongs to MCC's series of silicon Zener diodes. The 1EZ prefix typically denotes specific voltage and power characteristics within their discrete semiconductor lineup. It is distinct from higher power variants like the 1W series.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents with identical 12 V Zener voltage, 150 mW power rating, and DO-41 package. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical tolerances before substitution.
