1EZ6.8D5-TP

Overview

The 1EZ6.8D5-TP is a silicon Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device is designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-41 axial package. It has a maximum power dissipation of 1 W at 75°C ambient temperature and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The component utilizes a glass-passivated junction and offers excellent clamping capability.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction for enhanced stability
• Excellent clamping capability
• ±5% Zener voltage tolerance

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• Reference voltage sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 1EZ6.8D5-TP, as official documentation may vary. Confirm compliance with RoHS and REACH standards if required for your application. Check for any End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Change Notifications (PCN) that might affect long-term availability or specifications. Ensure the DO-41 package dimensions match your PCB layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.8 V reference or regulation point is needed in a through-hole design. The 1 W power rating suits moderate current applications. Compare against other MCC series like 2EZ or 3EZ if higher power handling is required. Verify the reverse leakage current specifications against circuit sensitivity needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1EZ series of 1 W silicon Zener diodes from MCC. The series covers a voltage range typically from 5.6 V to 39 V. These diodes are characterized by their axial DO-41 package and glass passivation, making them suitable for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable voltage stabilization.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1 W Zener diodes with 6.8 V nominal voltage and DO-41 packaging, such as those from ON Semiconductor or Vishay. Ensure the replacement maintains the ±5% tolerance and similar thermal characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility, although axial diodes are generally non-polarized in terms of physical fit, electrical polarity remains critical.
