Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required reliability level and tolerance. Confirm RoHS compliance status if applicable, as commercial versions differ from mil-qualified parts. Ensure the package type aligns with the design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 V reference with 2% accuracy is required. Consider the 500 mW power dissipation limit and derating curves for thermal management. Verify lead length and soldering compatibility with the target PCB assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4099-1 through 1N4135-1 series of 500 mW Zener diodes. It shares the same physical package and general construction as other variants in the family but is distinguished by its specific 12 V breakdown voltage and 2% tolerance designation.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' JAN1N4106C-1 equivalents or generic 1N4106C-1 parts meeting MIL-PRF-19500/435 specifications. Ensure replacement parts maintain the 2% tolerance and metallurgically bonded construction.

Single Zener Diodes FAQ

What does the 'C' suffix indicate in the part number?

The 'C' suffix denotes a Zener voltage tolerance of 2%, which is tighter than the standard 5% tolerance found in non-suffixed versions.

Is the JAN1N4106C-1 hermetically sealed?

Yes, the device is housed in a hermetically sealed axial-lead glass DO-35 package designed for high reliability.
