Product details
Overview
1N4114-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 20.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 150 Ω dynamic impedance, low 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 16.8 V, and +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient - used in precision reference and power supply feedback circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4114-1 datasheet, 1N4114-1 pinout, 1N4114-1 application, or 1N4114-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), radiation hardness, and MIL-spec qualification level for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode indicated by band and rated for operation from –65 °C to +175 °C. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal cycling and shock, while hermetic glass sealing prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift.
The 1N4114-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.090 %/°C), enabling predictable voltage drift over temperature, and maintains low noise density (<1 µV/√Hz) due to optimized semiconductor junction design - critical for low-noise analog references and sensor excitation circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A | 20 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, no MIL qualification, higher 20 µA leakage at 16 V | Commercial industrial power supplies where radiation hardness and extended temperature range not required | Select 1N4744A only for cost-sensitive non-military designs with adequate derating margin |
| CMZ20B | 20 V ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123 surface-mount package, AEC-Q200 qualified, 0.1 µA leakage at 16 V | Automotive engine control modules needing reflow-compatible packaging and automotive qualification | Choose CMZ20B for space-constrained PCBs and automotive production, not for hermetic or radiation-hardened use |
Compared with 1N4114-1, the 1N4744A offers higher power but lacks MIL-spec reliability and low-leakage performance, while the CMZ20B provides surface-mount compatibility and automotive qualification but trades hermetic sealing and radiation tolerance for AEC-Q200 compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N4114-1?
The 1N4114-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 20.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with 250 mA test current. The 1N4114-1 does not carry tighter tolerance suffixes (e.g., 'C' for 2% or 'D' for 1%) in its base nomenclature.
Is the 1N4114-1 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the 1N4114-1 is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and is designed for through-hole mounting. Surface-mount variants exist in the same family (e.g., 1N4114UR-1 in DO-213AA), but the 1N4114-1 itself requires axial lead insertion and wave or hand soldering. Its 0.2 g weight and 25–38 mm lead length are optimized for leaded board assembly.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4114-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N4114-1 is 0.01 µA at 16.8 V, 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 divider networks. The 1N4114-1 achieves this via metallurgical bonding and hermetic glass encapsulation.
Does the 1N4114-1 meet RoHS requirements?
The 1N4114-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions only for commercial-grade units, marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4114-1e3). Standard 1N4114-1 units use tin-lead plating and are not RoHS compliant. MIL-spec variants (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS) retain tin-lead terminations per qualification requirements and are exempt from RoHS under applicable exemptions.
What is the thermal resistance specification for the 1N4114-1?
The 1N4114-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) when mounted with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) on FR4 board with specified copper pad geometry. These values govern safe power derating - the 1N4114-1 linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
