Zener Diode BZX79-C15 (15Volt)

The 15V Zener Diode BZX79-C15 conducts in reverse once the voltage reaches about 15V, holding that voltage steady across its terminals. With a series resistor it makes a simple shunt regulator or reference, and it can clamp signal or supply lines to protect microcontroller inputs from overvoltage.

15V Zener Diode BZX79-C15 – Key Features

• Part number: BZX79-C15
• Zener voltage: 15V
• Power dissipation: 0.5W
• Package: DO-35 glass, through-hole
• Cathode marked with a black band

Applications

Makers, students and technicians use it in many kinds of projects, for example:

• Simple voltage regulators and references
• Overvoltage protection on inputs
• Level clamping in signal circuits
• Repair of power and charger boards

Usage Tips

Always use a series resistor to limit the zener current, and keep the dissipated power below 0.5W. The band marks the cathode, which connects towards the positive side in a regulator.
