1N4760A-TAP

Overview

The Vishay 1N4760A-TAP is a silicon planar power Zener diode in the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial through-hole package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device dissipates up to 1.3 W at thermal equilibrium and operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 51.7 V, a dynamic impedance of 150 Ω at a test current of 3.7 mA, and a forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA.

Feature Summary

• Designed for use in stabilizing and clipping circuits requiring high power ratings
• Features a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%
• Constructed using silicon planar technology

Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Clipping circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format. The TAP designation indicates an ammpack containing 5000 units per box. Confirm compliance requirements against the material categorization documentation provided by the manufacturer. Ensure lead temperatures are maintained during soldering to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68 V reference or regulation point is required in a through-hole design. The 1.3 W power dissipation capability supports applications needing robust thermal performance. Verify that the 150 Ω dynamic impedance meets the circuit's noise and stability requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4728A through 1N4761A series of silicon planar power Zener diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3 V to 75 V, all sharing the same DO-41 package and 1.3 W power rating profile.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same Vishay series include 1N4761A (75 V) and 1N4759A (62 V). Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for matching voltage tolerance, power dissipation limits, and package dimensions.
