• Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS levels
• Hermetically sealed glass axial-lead package
• Inherently radiation hard

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad ranges of current and temperature
• High reliability applications requiring military qualification
• Radiation-hardened circuit designs

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific reliability level required, as the base part number covers multiple qualification grades including JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as non-RoHS versions are standard for military grades while RoHS options are limited to commercial variants. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the desired package style and termination plating specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a stable 4.7 V reference with low leakage current. Consider the ±5% voltage tolerance and 1550 Ohm impedance for precision requirements. Evaluate the thermal derating curve if operating near the maximum power dissipation limit. Verify that the axial-lead form factor fits the PCB layout constraints compared to surface mount alternatives.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N4614-1 through 1N4627-1 series of 500 mW Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. The series offers voltages from 1.8 V to 100 V with various tolerance options.
