ZENER DIODES
PRODUCT SUMMARY
V
Z
range: 2.4 to 75 Volts
Power dissipation: 500mW
FEATURES
The Zener voltages are graded according to the international
E 24 standard. Higher Zener voltages and 1% tolerance
available on request.
Diodes available in these tolerance series:
±2% BZX79-B, ±3% BZX79-F, ±5% BZX79-C.
