Product details
Overview
1N4111 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 17.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with dynamic impedance of 100 Ω at 250 mA and temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C - used for precision voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4111 datasheet, 1N4111 pinout, 1N4111 application, or 1N4111 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (250 °C/W), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), max reverse current (0.05 µA at 13.0 V), and JANTXV qualification for high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener test current fixed at 250 mA and specified regulation over -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable long-term voltage drift under thermal cycling.
The 1N4111 exhibits low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) and minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF at 17 V), making it suitable for low-noise analog references and precision biasing where spectral purity and fast transient response are required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4111US | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads. | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting. | Select 1N4111US only when board space constraints mandate SMT and vibration environment permits. |
| 1N4111-1 | Identical specifications and DO-35 packaging; "-1" suffix denotes JAN/JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/435. | No functional difference; "-1" version is the qualified military-grade part - same pinout, same performance. | Choose 1N4111-1 for programs requiring formal qualification documentation and lot traceability. |
Compared with 1N4111US and 1N4111-1, the base 1N4111 offers identical Zener regulation performance in DO-35 form but lacks formal military qualification documentation and SMT compatibility - optimal for commercial-grade prototypes and cost-sensitive production where full MIL-spec traceability is not mandated.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4111?
The 1N4111 has a nominal Zener voltage of 17.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5% at 250 mA test current, as defined in the JEDEC-registered electrical characteristics table. This tolerance applies to the commercial-grade version; tighter tolerances (2% or 1%) require alternate part numbers with C or D suffixes.
Is 1N4111 qualified to military standards?
Yes, the 1N4111 is available in JANTXV-qualified versions (e.g., 1N4111-1) compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/435, including full lot traceability, burn-in, and environmental stress screening. The base 1N4111 part number refers to the commercial-grade variant unless otherwise specified with reliability-level suffixes.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4111?
The 1N4111 specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 0.05 µA at 13.0 V (75% of VZ), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes power loss in battery-powered instrumentation using the 1N4111 as a reference source.
Does 1N4111 have low-noise performance?
Yes, the 1N4111 delivers 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 250 mA, verified per Microsemi's noise measurement methodology (1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass). This makes the 1N4111 suitable for low-noise analog circuits such as precision ADC references and low-current op-amp biasing where spectral purity is essential.
What package type does 1N4111 use?
The 1N4111 uses the hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package with cathode band marking. Lead finish is tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte tin (commercial grade only), and the package is rated for soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
