Product details
Overview
1N4111-1 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 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 13.0 V. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges in precision reference and power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4111-1 datasheet, 1N4111-1 pinout, 1N4111-1 application, or 1N4111-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal derating behavior, noise density, junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and military qualification status - all critical for high-reliability analog design and aerospace-grade voltage reference selection.
Technical Context
The 1N4111-1 operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable Zener voltage under thermal cycling and radiation exposure, supporting operation from –65 °C to +175 °C.
It exhibits +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient and 1 µV/√Hz typical noise density at 17.0 V, enabling low-drift references in instrumentation and avionics. Power dissipation linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C ambient to zero at 175 °C on standard FR4 PCB layout.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | 12 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance, no military qualification | Higher power but lower voltage; lacks JANTXV screening and radiation hardness | Select when commercial-grade 12 V regulation suffices and thermal margin exceeds 500 mW requirement |
| 1N5247B | 17 V nominal, 500 mW, DO-35, ±5%, commercial-only, no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification | Same voltage and package but unqualified for high-reliability environments | Choose only for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where military screening is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4111-1, the 1N4742A offers higher power but lower voltage and no military qualification, while the 1N5247B matches voltage and power but omits JANTXV screening and radiation tolerance - making 1N4111-1 uniquely suitable for mission-critical aerospace voltage references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N4111-1?
The 1N4111-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 17.0 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with JEDEC-standard 1N-series Zener diodes. This tolerance applies at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, and is confirmed in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet revision 1.
Is the 1N4111-1 qualified to military standards?
Yes, the 1N4111-1 is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 at JANTXV reliability level, verified in the official Microsemi datasheet. This includes screening for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and long-term parametric stability - essential for flight-critical and defense electronics applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4111-1?
The 1N4111-1 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 µA at 13.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference node integrity in precision analog circuits.
Does the 1N4111-1 have radiation hardness?
Yes, the 1N4111-1 is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 package provide proven resilience against total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects - a key reason for its use in satellite and nuclear instrumentation systems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead for the 1N4111-1?
The 1N4111-1 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 250 °C/W when mounted with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, per the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This value guides heatsinking decisions in high-duty-cycle shunt regulator designs.
