BZX85B15-TR

Vishay Intertech · Zener Diodes · DO-41

BZX85B15-TR from Vishay Intertech, in a DO-41. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode, marked by the cathode identification band on the DO-41 body; connects to the positive side in reverse-biased Zener operation (BZX85B15 VZ 14.7 to 15.3 V at IZT1 = 15 mA).
2 A passive Anode terminal at the opposite axial lead from the cathode band; BZX85B15 power dissipation is max 1300 mW with leads at 4 mm from case kept at ambient temperature.
