DL4746A

LGE · Zener Diodes · MELF

DL4746A 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; the zener diode is reverse-biased at this terminal for voltage regulation (DL4746A: VZ 18 V nominal at 14 mA test current, ±5% tolerance).
2 A passive Anode terminal of the MELF zener diode, opposite the cathode band; power dissipation up to 1.0 W at Tamb 50 °C with forward voltage max 1.2 V at IF=200 mA.
