DESCRIPTION
DO-41
This Zener Voltage Regulator series is military qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/406 and is ideal
for high-reliability applications where a failure cannot be tolerated. These industry-
recognized 1.5 Watt Zener Voltage Regulators are hermetically sealed with voidless-glass
construction using an internal metallurgical bond. It includes Zener selections from 3.3 to 200
volts in standard 5% tolerances as well as tighter tolerances identified by different suffix
letters on the part number. They are also available in surface-mount packages (see separate
data sheet for 1N4460US thru 1N4496US and 1N6485US thru 1N6491US). Microsemi also
offers numerous other Zener products to meet higher and lower power ratings in both thru-
hole and surface mount packages.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com
