1N4699 BK PBFREE

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N4699 BK PBFREE is a silicon Zener diode from the 1N4678 series, designed for low-level applications requiring extremely low operating current and leakage. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 12 V with a 5% tolerance range (11.4 V to 12.6 V). The device operates at a test current of 50 μA and dissipates up to 500 mW. It utilizes a DO-35 axial leaded package and supports junction temperatures from -65°C to +200°C.
