DL4742A

LGE · Zener Diodes · MELF

DL4742A from LGE, in a MELF. 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 band on the MELF glass case; zener voltage for DL4742A is 12 V nominal at 21 mA test current (±5% tolerance with suffix A).
2 A passive Anode terminal at the end of the MELF glass case opposite the cathode band; forward voltage is max 1.2 V at IF=200 mA.
