Product details
Overview
1N4112-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 18.0 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current and ±5% voltage tolerance. It delivers stable voltage regulation in high-reliability power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across military and aerospace systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4112-1/TR datasheet, 1N4112-1/TR pinout, 1N4112-1/TR application, or 1N4112-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 18.0 V nominal Zener voltage, 100 Ω Zener impedance at IZT, 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at 14.4 V, -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 construction.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference by maintaining a stable 18.0 V across its terminals under reverse bias, with regulation validated at 250 mA test current (IZT) and characterized by low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V) and a +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures long-term stability under thermal cycling.
The 1N4112-1/TR is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C, and exhibits 0.2 g mass, 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and cathode band polarity marking per JEDEC DO-35 mechanical standard.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4112US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires SMT reflow process; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is used |
| 1N4746A | 18 V, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance, 25 Ω ZZT; not MIL-qualified | Lacks JANTXV screening, higher power, lower impedance - suited for commercial power supplies, not avionics | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where military qualification is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4112-1/TR?
The 1N4112-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V with a standard ±5% tolerance, as defined by JEDEC registration and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with the diode in thermal equilibrium and is consistent across all reliability levels including JANTXV.
Is 1N4112-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4112-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full nomenclature (1N4112-1e3/TR). Per the datasheet, RoHS compliance is available on commercial-grade versions only; JANTXV-qualified units retain tin-lead plating unless otherwise specified at order time.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4112-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4112-1/TR is 0.05 µA at 14.4 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at 25 °C and reflects the device's ultra-low leakage performance critical for high-impedance reference networks.
Does 1N4112-1/TR require derating above 25 °C?
Yes, the 1N4112-1/TR must be linearly derated starting at 25 °C ambient temperature, decreasing from 500 mW to zero at 175 °C, per Figure 2 in the datasheet. Derating follows a slope of approximately 3.57 mW/°C, and thermal design must account for RθJA = 300 °C/W on FR4 board with 4 mm² copper pads.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N4112-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N4112-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. As noted in the Mechanical and Packaging section, this option is standard for commercial and qualified versions, and quantity requirements should be confirmed with the factory prior to ordering.
