1N4760CP/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4760CP/TR8 is a silicon 1-watt Zener diode from the 1N4728AP through 1N4764AP series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal 68 V with a tight ±2% tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates in a plastic DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-lead package and is supplied in tape and reel format per EIA-296 standards. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 150 Ohms at a test current of 3.7 mA and a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 51.7 V.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with a tight ±2% tolerance on nominal Zener voltage.
• Features a void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy body for moisture resistance.
• Offers flexible axial-lead mounting terminals suitable for standard PCB assembly.
• Delivers stable performance across a broad operating temperature range.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring high precision.
• Overvoltage protection systems.
• Power supply regulation modules.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required tolerance and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the supplier documentation aligns with the manufacturer's datasheet specifications for electrical parameters.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68 V regulation point with tighter than standard tolerance is required. The plastic package offers lower thermal resistance compared to glass-body options. Verify that the application current requirements fall within the specified test and knee impedance limits for accurate regulation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the widely used 1N47xx series of Zener diodes. The 'P' suffix denotes the plastic encapsulated variant, while the 'TR' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging. The 'C' suffix specifically identifies the 2% voltage tolerance grade, distinguishing it from standard 5% or 10% variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 1N4760 variants with matching 68 V ratings. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same power dissipation rating and package type. Verify that any alternative components meet the required ±2% voltage tolerance specification.
