1N4779A/TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N4779A/TR is a temperature-compensated Zener diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an 8.5 V nominal Zener voltage with a 5% tolerance and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 uA. The device operates in the DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole package, providing a power dissipation rating of 500 mW. It exhibits a Zener impedance of 200 Ohms at a test current of 1 mA. The component supports an operating temperature range from -65°C to +175°C and includes a voltage temperature coefficient of 0.0005 %/°C for stability.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 1N4779A/TR designation to ensure the correct temperature-compensated variant is received. Confirm package compatibility with DO-204AH footprints during integration. Check RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications, noting potential variations between legacy and current production runs.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is critical under varying thermal conditions. The low temperature coefficient distinguishes it from standard Zener diodes. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 500 mW power dissipation limit and the specific axial form factor for proper mechanical installation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N47xx series of Zener diodes produced by Microchip Technology. It represents a specialized subset focused on temperature compensation rather than basic voltage clamping. The TR suffix indicates reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other temperature-compensated Zener diodes with identical 8.5 V ratings and similar thermal coefficients. Verify pinout compatibility and power dissipation limits before swapping.
