1N4465C

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4465C is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 1.5 W and exhibits a maximum Zener impedance of 5 Ohms. Reverse leakage current is specified at 300 nA when tested at 8 V, while the forward voltage drop is 1.5 V at 1 A. It operates within an extended temperature range of -65°C to 175°C and is housed in a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with a 10 V nominal breakdown voltage and ±2% tolerance.
• Supports high power dissipation up to 1.5 W for robust circuit protection.
• Engineered for wide operational reliability across temperatures from -65°C to 175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable 10 V levels
• Overvoltage protection in sensitive electronic systems
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings against official datasheets. Confirm RoHS status as this specific variant may not comply with standard environmental directives. Ensure the DO-204AL package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Validate that the ±2% tolerance meets your design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select the 1N4465C when a 10 V Zener voltage with tighter than standard ±5% tolerance is required. The 1.5 W power rating makes it suitable for higher current regulation tasks compared to lower-power variants. The wide operating temperature range supports use in harsh environments where standard commercial-grade components might fail.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N4465 series of Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. The 'C' suffix typically denotes a specific tolerance grade or manufacturing lot variation within the series. These diodes are part of a long-standing line of axial leaded devices widely used in industrial and military-grade electronics for reliable voltage stabilization.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

The JANTX1N4465C is a verified substitute offering similar electrical characteristics with potentially enhanced radiation hardness or quality controls for aerospace applications. Ensure pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements match the original design constraints when substituting.
