1N4702-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N4702-TP is a 500mW silicon Zener diode housed in the DO-35 through-hole package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 15V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device features a maximum forward voltage of 1.5V at 100mA and a reverse leakage current of 50µA. Maximum ratings include a junction temperature of 200°C, storage range from -65°C to 200°C, and thermal resistance of 300 K/W.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass construction using double slug type mechanical design for high reliability
• Sharp reverse characteristic curve ensuring stable voltage regulation performance
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable DC levels
• Overvoltage protection stages in electronic systems
• General-purpose voltage regulation tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Confirm compliance with RoHS standards and check for specific suffixes like TP for tape and reel packaging. Ensure the component meets quality handling standards as unauthorized sources do not provide warranty coverage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15V regulation point is required within a 500mW power dissipation limit. The DO-35 axial leaded package suits through-hole PCB layouts. Consider the sharp reverse characteristic for applications needing precise breakdown behavior. Verify that the operating temperature range aligns with system requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4678 through 1N4717 series of 500mW silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series covers a wide voltage range from 1.8V to 43V. The 1N4702 specifically targets the 15V nominal category within this lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4702 variants meeting identical electrical specifications and DO-35 package dimensions.
