Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify compliance requirements prior to procurement as this specific part number may not adhere to RoHS directives. Confirm that the manufacturer accepts orders for this item, as availability can be restricted. Ensure that the required packaging format aligns with production needs, noting that bulk or tape-and-reel options may vary by manufacturing batch. Validate all electrical parameters against the latest official datasheet before finalizing purchase orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.4 V Zener voltage is required with high-temperature resilience up to 175 °C. The 500 mW power rating supports moderate current loads in compact axial packages. Consider the 1400 Ohm impedance value for circuit stability requirements. This device is appropriate for designs needing robust silicon-based regulation without surface-mount constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the standard 1N46xx series of Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares the fundamental electrical characteristics of the base 1N4617 model but is distinguished by its specific trailing suffix indicating the tape and reel packaging format. This variant maintains the same die specifications and performance metrics as the bulk packaged equivalents within the same product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4617 variants meeting identical 2.4 V and 500 mW specifications. Cross-reference with JANS1N4617D-1 for military-grade equivalents if radiation hardness is required. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when replacing with generic industry alternatives.
