Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required lead finish and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation, noting that tin/lead variants may differ from lead-free specifications. Ensure the manufacturer designation aligns with Central Semiconductor Corp requirements for the intended design implementation.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13 V Zener voltage with 500 mW power handling is required in a compact DO-35 form factor. Consider the specified thermal resistance and operating temperature limits relative to the application environment. Evaluate the low leakage current specification against circuit sensitivity requirements to ensure proper noise performance.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N47 series of silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor. These components are characterized by their robust mechanical data and consistent electrical parameters across the series. The DO-35 package allows for efficient PCB layout while maintaining reliable thermal dissipation capabilities for steady-state operations.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N4700 equivalents to verify pinout compatibility and parameter matching. Ensure substitute parts meet or exceed the 500 mW power rating and 13 V Zener voltage tolerance. Validate that alternative packages maintain the same axial lead spacing for direct board replacement.
