1N4108/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 14.0 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 5% voltage tolerance, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and max reverse leakage of 0.05 µA at 11.2 V. It delivers stable voltage regulation in precision reference and power supply feedback circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4108/TR datasheet, 1N4108/TR pinout, 1N4108/TR application, or 1N4108/TR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, military-grade qualification status, thermal derating behavior, noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and RoHS-compliant commercial availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures high reliability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure, supporting operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
The 1N4108/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C and maintains low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) across its operating range. Its 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 250 mA enables stable regulation under varying load currents in analog and power control systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4108-1 | Same electrical specs but bulk packaging (no TR suffix); non-tape-and-reel | Not suitable for automated SMT placement; requires manual loading or tube feeders | Select 1N4108-1 only for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| 1N4108UR-1 | DO-213AA surface-mount package; identical Zener voltage and tolerance | Requires rework of PCB layout; eliminates axial leads but reduces thermal mass and power handling margin | Choose 1N4108UR-1 when board space constraints mandate SMT or when mixed-technology assembly is standardized |
Compared with 1N4108/TR, the 1N4108-1 lacks tape-and-reel convenience for pick-and-place, while 1N4108UR-1 trades axial thermal performance and repairability for footprint reduction-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4108/TR?
The 1N4108/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 14.0 V with a standard ±5% tolerance, consistent with JEDEC registration for the 1N4099–1N4135 family. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with the device in thermal equilibrium and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test protocols.
Is 1N4108/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, 1N4108/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), featuring annealed matte-tin plating on commercial-grade units. Compliance is confirmed per Microsemi documentation T4-LDS-0245-2, and the device meets lead-free soldering requirements up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N4108/TR?
The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standards, enabling automated surface-mount assembly. The 1N4108/TR is supplied in reels optimized for pick-and-place equipment, distinguishing it from bulk or tube-packaged variants like 1N4108-1.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4108/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4108/TR is 0.05 µA at 11.2 V (80% of VZ). This ultra-low leakage is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet and supports high-impedance biasing applications.
Does 1N4108/TR support high-temperature operation?
Yes, 1N4108/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C. Its DO-35 glass package and metallurgical bond construction maintain parameter stability across this full range, with linear power derating applied above 50 °C lead temperature per Figure 2.
