1N4704-TP

Overview

The MCC 1N4704-TP is a 500mW silicon Zener diode housed in the DO-35 axial leaded package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 17V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C and features a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 500mW at a lead temperature below 75°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 50µA and a forward voltage drop not exceeding 1.5V at 100mA.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass construction with double slug type case for high reliability
• Sharp reverse characteristic curve for precise voltage regulation
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection
• Clipper and clamper circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements and check for specific ordering suffixes if tape and reel packaging is required instead of bulk or ammo packing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 17V regulation point is needed with low power dissipation constraints. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified thermal limits and that the ±5% voltage tolerance aligns with circuit design 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, utilizing a consistent DO-35 package format for standardized mounting across various electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N4704 variants meeting the same 17V, 500mW, and DO-35 specifications.
