The Microchip Technology 1N4438 is a silicon planar junction Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and reference applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 18V at a test current of 1mA, with a maximum impedance of 100 ohms. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C and is available in the DO-35 axial leaded package. This component provides stable voltage control for circuits requiring precise reference levels.
Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the application. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 579-1N4438/TR for availability status and packaging details before finalizing procurement plans.
Select this component when an 18V Zener voltage is required with low power dissipation capabilities. Consider the DO-35 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Verify that the 100 ohm impedance meets the circuit's stability requirements for noise-sensitive applications.
This component belongs to the standard Zener diode family manufactured by Microchip Technology. It serves as a fundamental passive semiconductor device for maintaining constant voltage levels in electronic circuits. The 1N4438 designation aligns with industry-standard naming conventions for 18V Zener diodes.
Consult the official Microchip datasheet for confirmed substitute part numbers. Generic equivalents may vary in impedance and temperature coefficients. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before implementing any alternative components.
