1N4615

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4615 is a Zener diode voltage regulator designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-35-2 package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 2 V with a 5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW. The device features a maximum reverse leakage current specified at 1250 Ohms impedance context, operating within a temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a low 2 V reference level
• Constructed with glass encapsulation for environmental durability
• Supports high-temperature operation up to +175°C

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Low-voltage reference circuits
• Voltage clamping applications
• Overvoltage protection in sensitive electronics

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision suffix and manufacturing date code upon ordering, as these affect compliance and traceability. Confirm that the DO-35-2 through-hole package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 500 mW power rating is sufficient for your circuit's thermal conditions. Check for any military or aerospace qualification markings if required for your specific application standards.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 2 V regulation point is needed in a standard axial leaded format. Consider the 500 mW power limit and ensure adequate heat dissipation in the design. Compare against other Zener voltages in the 1N46xx series if alternative reference levels are acceptable. Verify that the through-hole installation style aligns with your assembly process capabilities.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard Zener diode family produced by Microchip Technology. It utilizes the widely recognized DO-35 glass passivated junction construction. The 1N4615 designation identifies it specifically within the broader lineup of voltage regulators available from the manufacturer, sharing common packaging and testing protocols with similar series members.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4615 equivalents meeting identical electrical specifications. Cross-reference with JAN1N4615 variants for potential military-grade options if higher reliability is required. Ensure any replacement maintains the DO-35-2 package dimensions and 2 V Zener voltage characteristics.
