Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical characteristics against the official datasheet for the 1N4728A series, as detailed parameters such as test current and impedance may vary by manufacturer lot. Confirm that the tin/lead termination style meets project requirements, noting that this component may not comply with RoHS directives. Ensure the DO-41 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V Zener voltage is required in a through-hole configuration. The 1 W power rating allows for use in moderate current regulation scenarios without excessive heat sinking. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for environments where standard commercial-grade components might fail. Verify compatibility with existing circuit biasing conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Central Semiconductor 1N4728A series of silicon Zener diodes. The series covers a voltage range from 3.3 V to 100 V, all sharing the same 1 W power dissipation and DO-41 package form factor. These devices are marketed for their high reliability in demanding industrial and commercial settings, offering consistent performance across the voltage spectrum.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N4717A equivalents to ensure pinout and thermal characteristics match. Verify that substitute parts maintain the 100 V nominal voltage and 1 W power rating. Check for any differences in dynamic impedance or leakage current if precise regulation is critical.
