Product details
Overview
1N4105-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 11.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 200 Ω dynamic impedance and +0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient, used in precision reference and power supply feedback circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4105-1 datasheet, 1N4105-1 pinout, 1N4105-1 application, or 1N4105-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), maximum reverse leakage (0.05 µA @ 9.1 V), and military-grade reliability qualification.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse breakdown mode, with cathode band indicating polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise and high reliability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure, supporting operation from –65 °C to +175 °C.
The 1N4105-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.080 %/°C), enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-Zener networks. Its 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA and minimal capacitance (<2 pF typical) support stable regulation across varying load currents without oscillation in feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 11.0 V ±5% at 250 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for reference accuracy |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins at 50 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω at 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients (ΔV = Iload × ZZT) |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.05 µA at 9.1 V - ensures negligible current draw in standby, critical for low-power bias networks |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - enables use in low-noise analog references where broadband voltage stability is required |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.080 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature, allowing accurate system-level error budgeting |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode indicated by single black band; weight ≈ 0.2 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit common or ground; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal / voltage reference output | Banded end; supplies regulated 11.0 V when reverse-biased above breakdown; must be held >11.0 V relative to anode |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, +0.075 %/°C TC, 17 Ω ZZT | Higher power, lower impedance, but commercial-only qualification and no MIL-spec screening | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 1 W headroom and lower impedance outweigh reliability requirements |
| 1N5232B | 5.6 V ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35, +0.03 %/°C TC, 17 Ω ZZT, 1 µA IR | Different voltage grade; tighter TC but higher leakage and no military qualification | Choose only if 5.6 V reference is acceptable and ultra-low TC dominates over leakage and reliability needs |
Compared with 1N4105-1, the 1N4740A offers higher power and lower impedance but lacks military qualification and uses a larger DO-41 package; the 1N5232B provides superior temperature stability at 5.6 V but cannot replace 1N4105-1 in 11 V systems due to voltage mismatch and unqualified reliability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for the 1N4105-1?
The 1N4105-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 11.0 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at 250 mA Zener test current (IZT) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tolerance reflects the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4099–1N4135 series and applies to all reliability levels including JANTX.
Is the 1N4105-1 suitable for high-reliability aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N4105-1 is qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with full screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing. Its metallurgically bonded DO-35 construction and –65 °C to +175 °C operating range make it appropriate for flight-critical avionics power references and satellite subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4105-1, and at what voltage is it specified?
The 1N4105-1 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 µA, specified at a reverse voltage (VR) of 9.1 V - 82% of its nominal Zener voltage. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-powered systems.
Does the 1N4105-1 have radiation hardness, and is it documented?
Yes, the 1N4105-1 is inherently radiation-hardened as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its glass-encapsulated, metallurgically bonded structure provides tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) and displacement damage, making it suitable for space and nuclear environments without additional shielding.
Can the 1N4105-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the standard 1N4105-1 is axial-leaded DO-35. However, Microsemi offers surface-mount equivalents: the 1N4105UR-1 in DO-213AA and 1PMT4105 in DO-216 packages. These share identical electrical specs but require different PCB footprints and reflow profiles.
