1N4615 BK PBFREE

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N4615 BK PBFREE is a silicon Zener diode designed for low leakage, low current, and low noise applications. It operates within the 1.8V to 6.2V range with a nominal voltage of 2.0V at a test current of 250µA. The device features a 5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 250mW. It utilizes a DO-35 axial leaded package and supports an operating junction temperature range from -65°C to +200°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Engineered for low noise environments with a specified noise density of 1.0 µV/Hz at 250µA.
• Provides stable voltage regulation with a tight 5% tolerance band around the nominal value.
• Constructed using silicon technology optimized for low leakage and low current operation.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Low noise voltage reference circuits
• Precision voltage regulation in sensitive analog systems
• Protection against overvoltage transients in low current paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required plating finish. The 'PBFREE' designation indicates lead-free soldering compatibility, while other suffixes may denote different material compositions. Confirm the manufacturer's current production status and availability directly through authorized distribution channels before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit requirements demand minimal electrical noise alongside precise voltage clamping. Ensure the design accounts for the 250mW power dissipation limit and the wide thermal operating range. Verify that the DO-35 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4614 through 1N4627 series of low-noise silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series covers voltages from 1.8V to 6.2V, all sharing similar mechanical outlines and low-power characteristics suitable for compact electronic designs requiring reliable voltage stabilization.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with standard JEDEC 1N4615 equivalents from other manufacturers. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 2.0V nominal voltage, 5% tolerance, and DO-35 package footprint to ensure direct interchangeability without redesigning the host circuit board.
