180 V Zener in a hand-solderable DO-35
The 1N6030C is a 180 V Zener diode rated for 500 mW continuous power dissipation in a DO-35 axial-lead package — a through-hole footprint that fits standard breadboards and perfboards, and is easy to hand-solder without hot air or a reflow oven. With a ±2% tolerance on the nominal Zener voltage, this part is tighter than the common 5% grade — useful when the bias or reference voltage needs to stay within a narrow window without trimming.
Temperature range and leakage profile
Rated for operation from -65°C to 175°C, the 1N6030C covers the full military temperature band — it can sit in an engine-bay sensor supply or a satellite power rail without derating for ambient extremes.
