MTZJ16SC

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The MTZJ16SC is a small signal Zener diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It operates within the MTZJ2V0SA to MTZJ56S series, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 15.19 V with a tolerance range of 14.80 V to 15.57 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device provides a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW and utilizes a DO-34 glass package. Electrical characteristics include a regular impedance of 40 Ω and a leakage current of 0.2 μA at 12 V reverse voltage.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (such as A0 or R0) against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm packaging type, as these suffixes denote physical packaging variations without altering electrical function. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 15 V reference is required in low-power circuits. Ensure the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -55 °C to +175 °C range. Verify that the circuit design accommodates the 500 mW power dissipation limit under all expected ambient conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the MTZJ series of hermetically sealed glass Zener diodes produced by Taiwan Semiconductor. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 2 V to 56 V, providing standardized options for various voltage regulation needs in compact through-hole packages.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 15.2 V nominal voltage, 500 mW power rating, and DO-34 package. Verify equivalent impedance and leakage specifications to ensure circuit performance parity.
