Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'BK' corresponds to the specific bulk packaging configuration required by the procurement specification. Confirm that the 'PBFREE' designation aligns with environmental compliance requirements for lead-free plating as defined in the manufacturer's standard terms. Ensure the component meets the necessary RoHS standards before finalizing the purchase order.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design demands a stable 15 V reference with minimal power draw. The 500 mW power rating allows for moderate current handling in series configurations. Verify that the DO-35 package dimensions fit the available board space and that the through-hole mounting method is compatible with the assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4678 through 1N4717 series of low-level silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series covers a voltage range from 1.8 V to 43 V, all sharing the same 500 mW power dissipation capability and DO-35 mechanical outline. This specific model represents the mid-range voltage option within the family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 15 V nominal Zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, and DO-35 package. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer equivalent 5% tolerance and similar leakage characteristics to ensure circuit performance remains unchanged.
