DESCRIPTION
This popular series of 500 mW Zener voltage regulators provides a selection from 2.4 to 12
volts in a standard 5% tolerance as well as available tighter 2% and 1% tolerances. These
axial-leaded, glass DO-35 Zeners feature an internal metallurgical bond and are military
qualified to the JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV level. A RoHS compliant commercial grade only
version is also available.
