1N4715 BK TIN/LEAD

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N4715 BK TIN/LEAD is a silicon unidirectional Zener diode designed for through-hole mounting in the DO-35 package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a 5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 250 mW. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C, exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA, and has a Zener impedance of 200 ohms at a test current of 250 µA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation via Zener breakdown characteristics in the reverse bias region.
• Utilizes a glass-passivated junction structure for reliable performance under thermal stress.
• Supports high-temperature operation up to +200°C for demanding industrial environments.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring precise low-voltage stabilization.
• Overvoltage protection stages in sensitive electronic systems.
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'BK TIN/LEAD' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm lead content and packaging format. Ensure the requested variant matches the required RoHS status and terminal finish specifications for your assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.8 V regulation point is needed in a compact axial leaded form factor. Consider the 250 mW power rating and 200 ohm impedance for low-current applications. Verify that the DO-35 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N47xx series of Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor. These components are widely used in general-purpose electronics for voltage regulation and protection. The DO-35 package offers a balance of size and power handling suitable for various through-hole designs.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N4715 equivalents. Confirm that substitute parts match the 6.8 V Zener voltage, 250 mW power rating, and DO-35 package type before integration.
