1N4715/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4715/TR is a single silicon Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tolerance of 5%. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 0.5 W and operates within a temperature range from -65 °C to +175 °C. It utilizes a DO-204AA-2 axial through-hole package, measuring approximately 7.62 mm in length and 2.718 mm in diameter. The component is supplied in reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation using silicon Zener technology
• Capable of operation across an extended industrial temperature range
• Features low reverse leakage current for efficient performance

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection systems
• General-purpose voltage regulation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the 1N4715/TR to confirm RoHS compliance status, as documentation indicates non-compliance. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required reel packaging format. Cross-reference the DO-204AA-2 package dimensions with your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V regulation point is required with moderate power handling capabilities. The wide operating temperature range supports demanding environments. Verify that the 5% voltage tolerance meets circuit precision requirements compared to tighter tolerance alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 1N47xx series of Zener diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. These components are widely used in discrete semiconductor designs requiring reliable voltage clamping or referencing functions in electronic circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent parts. Generic replacements must match the 36 V Zener voltage, 0.5 W power rating, and DO-204AA-2 package form factor.
