(Pack of 5) 10V 1/2W 1N4740A Zener Diode

(Pack of 5) 10V 1/2W 1N4740A Zener Diode 

The 10V 1/2W Zener Diode is a compact voltage-regulation component designed to produce a stable 10-volt reference when reverse-biased. With a 0.5W (½ Watt) power dissipation rating, it is suitable for low- to medium-power circuits that require precise voltage control, signal conditioning, or over-voltage protection. Its small DO-35 axial package makes it ideal for breadboards, PCBs, and general-purpose electronic designs.
