1N4962 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 1N4962 is a 15V zener diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for voltage regulation and protection circuits requiring a nominal breakdown voltage of 15V with a tolerance of ±5%. The diode can dissipate up to 5 watts of power, making it suitable for moderate power applications.

 

Electrical characteristics include a maximum impedance of 3.5Ω at the zener test current and a reverse leakage current of 5µA at 11.4V. The forward voltage is specified as 1.5V at 1A forward current. The device operates over a wide junction temperature range from -65°C to 175°C.

 

The 1N4962 is housed in an E, Axial leaded package for through-hole mounting, providing robust mechanical support and efficient heat transfer. The package is compatible with standard wave soldering processes.
