1N4693-TP

Overview

The 1N4693-TP is a 500mW silicon Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in the DO-35 axial leaded glass package and supports a junction temperature up to 200°C. Maximum forward voltage is 1.5V at 100mA, while reverse leakage current is limited to 10µA at 4V.

Feature Summary

• Double slug type construction for high reliability
• Hermetically sealed glass encapsulation
• Very sharp reverse characteristic

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Reference voltage sources
• Overvoltage protection

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through authorized MCC distributors due to counterfeiting risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status via ordering suffixes if required. Ensure storage conditions align with Level 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. Check datasheet revisions for updated mechanical dimensions before finalizing PCB layouts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 7.5V reference is needed within a 500mW power budget. The DO-35 package suits through-hole designs requiring robust thermal performance. Consider the specific leakage and impedance characteristics for precision applications. Verify operating temperature ranges against environmental constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4678 through 1N4717 series of 500mW Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage range from 1.8V to 43V. All devices share similar mechanical and electrical construction standards defined by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include parts matching the 7.5V Zener voltage, 500mW power rating, and DO-35 package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
