1N4483C

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4483C is a single Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 56 V and a maximum power dissipation of 1.5 W. It features a tolerance of ±2% and operates in the through-hole DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package. The device exhibits a reverse leakage current of 250 nA at 44.8 V and a forward voltage of 1.5 V at 1 A. It supports a junction temperature range from -65°C to 175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation via sharp Zener knee characteristics
• Features ultra-low reverse leakage current for precision applications
• Utilizes metallurgically bonded construction for enhanced reliability

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring high stability
• Overvoltage protection in sensitive electronic systems
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required tolerance and package configuration, as variations exist within the 1N4483 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation for quality assurance purposes.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 56 V regulation point is required with tight ±2% tolerance. The DO-41 package suits designs needing robust through-hole mounting. Consider the 1.5 W power rating for thermal management requirements in the target application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the standard Zener diode series manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares functional similarities with other 1N44xx series devices but is distinguished by its specific 56 V breakdown voltage and ±2% tolerance specification. The DO-41 axial leaded package is common for general-purpose discrete semiconductor applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent substitutes include the 1N4483D and JANTXV1N4483D from Microchip Technology. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 56 V nominal voltage, 1.5 W power rating, and DO-41 package footprint to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
