DESCRIPTION

APPEARANCE

These high power 10 W Zener diodes represented by the JEDEC
registered 1N2970 thru 1N3015B and 1N3993 thru 1N4000A series provide
voltage regulation in a selection over a 3.9 V to 200 V broad range of
voltages. They may be operated up to 10 W with adequate mounting and
heat sinking with their low thermal resistance. These Zeners are also
available in JAN, JANTX, JANTXV military qualifications. Microsemi also
offers numerous other Zener products to meet higher and lower power
applications.

DO-4
(DO-203AA)

NOTES: 1. 1N3993 - 1N4000 series: suffix A indicates +/-5% tolerance, no suffix indicates +/-10% tolerance. 1N2970 1N3015 series: suffix B

indicates +/- 5% tolerance, suffix A indicates +/-10%, no suffix indicates +/-20% tolerance. If tighter tolerance is required, consult

factory.

The electrical characteristics are measured after allowing the device to stabilize for 90 seconds with 30

C Base temperature.

The zener impedance (Z

) is derived from the 60 Hz ac voltage, which results when an ac current having an rms value equal to 10% of

the dc zener current (I

or I

) is superimposed on I

or I

. When making zener impedance measurements at the I

test point, it may

be necessary to insert a 60 Hz band pass filter between the diode and voltmeter to avoid errors resulting from low level noise signals. A
curve showing the variation of zener impedance vs. zener current for three representative types is shown in Figures 2 and 3. Also see
Microsemi MicroNote 202.

These values of I

may be exceeded in the case of individual diodes. The values shown are calculated for the worst case that is a unit

of +/-5% tolerance at the high voltage end of its tolerance range. Allowance has also been made for the rise in zener voltage above V

which results from zener impedance and the increase in junction temperature as power dissipation approaches 10 watts.
