• Very sharp reverse characteristic
• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Reference voltage sources
• Overvoltage protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the component by purchasing directly from Micro Commercial Components or authorized distributors. Counterfeit parts are prevalent; unauthorized sources lack traceability and quality assurance. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36V reference with 500mW dissipation in an axial glass package is required. Ensure the application does not exceed the specified thermal resistance limits. Verify that the ±5% tolerance aligns with circuit 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 voltages from 1.8V to 43V in the DO-35 package.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N4715A and other generic 1N4715 variants meeting JEDEC specifications. Verify package dimensions and electrical tolerances match the original design constraints.
