• Designed specifically for through-hole device type mounting applications.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Voltage reference standards
• Overvoltage protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., R0) required for your order, as it indicates packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor. Ensure the DO-35 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 15V reference is needed in a through-hole design. Consider the ±5% tolerance for precision requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 0.5W dissipation limit and operating temperature range up to 175°C.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX79 series of small signal Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 2.0V to 75V. All variants share the same hermetically sealed DO-35 glass package and high-reliability characteristics suitable for general-purpose electronic applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include ON Semiconductor BZX79C15-T50R and other generic BZX79C15 parts from different manufacturers, provided they meet the DO-35 package and electrical specifications.
