Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing from distributors. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Microchip Technology or its predecessor entities such as Microsemi, as part numbers may carry historical branding variations. Ensure the requested quantity aligns with standard reel sizes if bulk procurement is required. Cross-reference datasheets for any updates regarding RoHS compliance status or manufacturing location changes.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8.5 V regulation point is required with moderate power handling capabilities. The DO-35 package is appropriate for standard PCB layouts utilizing through-hole technology. Consider the 500 mW power rating to ensure adequate thermal management under continuous operation. Verify that the ±5% voltage tolerance meets the specific accuracy requirements of the target application design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N47xx series of 0.5 W Zener Voltage Regulators produced by Microchip Technology. The series provides a wide selection of voltage values ranging from 1.8 V to 43 V in standard 5% tolerances. These devices are widely used in discrete semiconductor applications where reliable voltage clamping or referencing is necessary. The 1N4783 variant specifically targets the 8.5 V segment of this extensive product family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N4782A and 1N4784A from the same manufacturer series. Other generic equivalents with matching 8.5 V Zener voltage and 500 mW power rating may be substituted if pin compatibility and electrical parameters align.
