• Encased in hermetically sealed glass DO-35 package for environmental protection
• Features tin/lead terminations for through-hole mounting compatibility

Single Zener Diodes Applications

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

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'BK TIN/LEAD' against manufacturer documentation to confirm lead content and packaging style. Ensure the procurement specification matches the required DO-35 glass package and 18V Zener voltage rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted materials are prohibited in the target assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 18V Zener voltage is required in a small axial glass package. The 0.5W power rating suits low-current regulation tasks. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range to ensure reliable performance and longevity of the device.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N47xx series of Zener diodes, a widely recognized family of voltage regulators. The 1N4705 specifically denotes an 18V variant within this lineup. Central Semiconductor manufactures these devices using silicon epitaxial planar processes, ensuring consistent electrical characteristics across production batches for industrial and commercial applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N4705A from other manufacturers offering identical 18V specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Ensure the replacement device meets the same DO-35 package dimensions and power dissipation requirements.
