1N4774A

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4774A is a temperature-compensated Zener reference diode with a nominal voltage of 9.1 V and a tolerance of ±5%. It operates in the low current range of 0.5 mA to 1.0 mA, featuring a maximum power dissipation of 250 mW and a maximum impedance of 0.007 V. The device utilizes a DO-204AH (DO-35) through-hole package and offers temperature coefficients as low as those found in the Zero-TC Reference Diode series.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the 1N4774A designation is utilized by multiple vendors including Microchip, Microsemi, and Digitron. Confirm that the datasheet matches the required electrical specifications, particularly the power rating and impedance values, before procurement. Ensure the package type corresponds to the intended PCB footprint.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 9.1 V reference is required at very low currents. The temperature compensation feature makes it suitable for environments where voltage drift must be minimized. Compare the specific power dissipation limits and impedance characteristics against other available manufacturers to ensure compatibility with the circuit design constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the broader family of 1N47xx series Zener diodes, specifically the temperature-compensated variants. These devices are engineered to provide a stable voltage reference over a wide temperature range, distinguishing them from standard Zener diodes which may exhibit higher thermal drift.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include parts from the same series such as the 1N4765 through 1N4774A series from Microsemi. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical equivalence before substitution.
