Zener Diode 18V 1W

From the shop's description

Zener Diode 18V 1W The 18V 1W Zener diode (JEDEC type 1N4746A) is a silicon voltage-regulation diode designed to maintain a stable 18-volt reference under varying current and voltage conditions. Encapsulated in a DO-41 plastic package, it delivers reliable one-watt power dissipation and is intended for use where compact, low-cost voltage stabilization is required. At its nominal test current of 14 mA the diode exhibits a tightly defined breakdown voltage and low dynamic resistance (20 Ω), enabling predictable regulation over a range of operating currents. It tolerates moderate surge currents (rated 250 mA) and shows low reverse leakage (about 5 µA at the specified test voltage), while its thermal characteristics (45 °C/W junction-to-lead) recommend basic thermal management when mounted on circuit boards. Built to JEDEC standards and moisture-classified for simple handling, the part operates across a wide temperature span (−65 °C to +150 °C) and is available with military screening and tape-and-reel options for production assembly. Its simple axial-leaded form factor, standard marking, and small mass (≈0.7 g) make it straightforward to integrate into prototypes and production assemblies requiring an 18 V reference. Forward voltage is specified around 1.2 V at 200 mA, and the part’s consistent electrical characteristics simplify circuit design and production testing. and long-term reliability gains.
