1N4909A/TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N4909A/TR is a temperature compensated Zener diode designed for precision voltage reference applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 12.8 V with a tight tolerance of ±5%. The device operates in the DO-7 (DO-204AA) axial through-hole package and dissipates up to 400 mW. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 15 µA, a Zener impedance of 50 Ohms, and a low voltage temperature coefficient of 0.005 %/°C. It is tested at 4 mA and functions within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.
