1N4696-TP

Overview

The 1N4696-TP is a 500 mW silicon Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +200 °C and utilizes a DO-35 axial-leaded glass package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V at 100 mA, a reverse leakage current of 1.0 µA at 7.5 V, and a maximum Zener impedance change (ΔVZ) of 0.08 V.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Features a very sharp reverse characteristic for precise clamping applications
• Constructed in a hermetically sealed double-slug type glass case for high reliability

Applications

• General voltage regulation circuits
• Voltage reference functions
• Over-voltage protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Micro Commercial Components documentation to confirm packaging configuration, as ordering suffixes determine tape-and-reel or bulk quantities. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by the application. Confirm that the component is suitable for the intended thermal environment given its specified junction temperature limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 9.1 V reference point is required in through-hole designs. The DO-35 package accommodates standard PCB layouts. Evaluate the 500 mW power dissipation capability relative to the expected load current. Consider the ±5% tolerance for budgeting voltage variations in the target circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4678 through 1N4717 series of 500 mW silicon Zener diodes produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 1.8 V to 43 V. These components are designed for general-purpose regulation and protection tasks utilizing standard axial-leaded glass packages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 9.1 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power rating, and DO-35 package outline. Verify electrical parameters such as reverse leakage and Zener impedance to ensure functional equivalence in the specific circuit context.
