Zener Diode (15V) 0.5W 5pcs

The Zener Diode (15V) 0.5W is a through-hole zener diode with a zener voltage of 15 V and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. When it is reverse-biased through a series resistor, it holds the voltage across it close to 15 V, so it is used for simple voltage references, clamping spikes and protecting inputs.

Zener Diode (15V) 0.5W Specifications

• Zener voltage: 15 V (nominal)
• Power rating: 0.5 W
• Maximum zener current: about 33 mA (0.5 W ÷ 15 V)
• Type: through-hole, axial leads
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Zener Diode (15V) 0.5W Applications

• Simple 15 V shunt regulators for low-current circuits
• Clamping voltage spikes and protecting MOSFET gates
• Voltage references for comparators and test circuits
• Overvoltage protection on supply and signal lines

What's in the Box

• 5 × 15 V 0.5 W zener diodes

Tip: Connect the cathode (the end with the band) to the positive side and always use a series resistor. For example, from a 24 V supply a 1 kΩ resistor gives about 9 mA through the zener, well inside its rating.
