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 with 15.2 mA Zener test current, 150 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.01 µA max reverse leakage at 16.0 V.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4114-1 datasheet, 1N4114-1 pinout, 1N4114-1 application, or 1N4114-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its military-grade reliability, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C, and hermetic glass package suited for high-reliability power supply and reference circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability across -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
The device exhibits linear power derating from 500 mW at 25°C ambient to zero at 175°C on a typical FR4 board, and maintains low capacitance (typical <2 pF at 20 V) and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 20.0 V ±5% at 250 mA test current - defines nominal regulation point under standard thermal conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at TC = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 150 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.01 µA max at VR = 16.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.090 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; critical for precision reference designs |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise analog references in instrumentation and sensing circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - supports operation in aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal to be at lower potential than cathode |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; held at stable 20.0 V above anode when reverse-biased above knee voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification | JANTXV-level screening ensures performance consistency in high-reliability systems |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Enhances thermal cycling endurance and long-term parameter stability vs. epoxy-bonded alternatives |
| Low noise density | 1 µV/√Hz enables use in precision analog references where signal integrity is critical |
| Hermetic glass encapsulation | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter shift over time in harsh environmental conditions |
| ESD insensitivity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 - reduces handling risk during assembly and field service |

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 in the JEDEC-registered specification 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.
Is the 1N4114-1 qualified to JANS level?
No, the 1N4114-1 is qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, as stated in the DESCRIPTION section on page 1. JANS qualification is available for other members of the same series but not for the 1N4114-1 variant per the documented reliability level nomenclature and qualification listing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4114-1?
The 1N4114-1 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at VR = 16.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value reflects worst-case leakage under rated reverse voltage and is measured at 25°C ambient temperature.
Does the 1N4114-1 have RoHS compliance?
Yes, RoHS-compliant versions of the 1N4114-1 are available with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4114-1e3), as noted in the PART NOMENCLATURE section on page 2. These versions feature RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and are offered for commercial-grade applications only.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for the 1N4114-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for the 1N4114-1 is 250°C/W when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as listed in the MAXIMUM RATINGS table on page 1. This value assumes standard mounting conditions per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test methodology.
