1N4715 TR PBFREE

Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N4715 TR PBFREE is a silicon Zener diode designed for low-level applications requiring extremely low operating current and leakage. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a 5% tolerance, tested at 50 μA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C. Packaged in the DO-35 axial leaded case, it offers a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.01 μA at 27.3 V.

Feature Summary

• Designed for applications requiring extremely low operating current and low leakage
• Provides stable voltage regulation with tight 5% tolerance
• Capable of operation across an extended temperature range up to +200°C

Applications

• Low-level voltage reference circuits
• Precision voltage regulation requiring minimal bias current
• Temperature-stable protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required plating finish. The 'PBFREE' designation indicates lead-free plating compliance. Confirm the package type corresponds to the DO-35 axial leaded form factor. Ensure the specific part number aligns with the manufacturer's standard naming conventions for this series.

Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design demands a 36 V reference with minimal quiescent current draw. The 500 mW power rating suits moderate load conditions. Verify that the DO-35 package fits the board layout constraints. Consider the low leakage specification for high-impedance signal paths.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N4678 through 1N4717 series of low-level silicon Zener diodes. The series covers a voltage range from 1.8 V to 43 V. All devices in this family share identical mechanical outlines and thermal characteristics while differing in nominal breakdown voltage.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 1N4715 equivalents in the DO-35 package. Verify that substitute parts meet the 50 μA test current requirement and maintain comparable leakage specifications.
