1N4102 BK TIN/LEAD

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N4102 BK TIN/LEAD is a silicon unidirectional voltage regulator diode designed for through-hole mounting. It features a DO-35-2 axial leaded package and dissipates up to 250 mW of power. The device maintains a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a 5% tolerance, operating within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA and a Zener impedance of 200 ohms at a test current of 250 µA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation via the Zener breakdown effect in the reverse bias region.
• Utilizes a robust DO-35-2 glass passivated junction construction for reliable performance.
• Supports extended thermal operation capabilities suitable for demanding environments.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise potential levels.
• Overvoltage protection stages for sensitive electronic components.
