Product details
Overview
1N4114/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 20 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 150 Ω dynamic impedance, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C for aerospace power supply reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4114/TR datasheet, 1N4114/TR pinout, 1N4114/TR application, or 1N4114/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise performance at 20 V, and MIL-spec qualification level - all critical for high-reliability analog reference and biasing circuits.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain precise DC voltage under varying load and temperature. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical stability and low parameter drift, while the hermetically sealed DO-35 glass package supports operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity requirements.
Regulation occurs at IZT = 250 mA with VZ = 20.0 V, exhibiting αVZ = +0.090 %/°C and ZZT = 150 Ω. Noise density is specified at 1 µV/√Hz - among the lowest in the 1N41xx series - enabling use in low-noise reference designs where voltage stability and spectral purity are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.0 V at 250 mA - defines stable regulation point for precision biasing and reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous operation with linear derating to zero at 175 °C junction |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 150 Ω at 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise analog references in instrumentation and signal conditioning |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.090 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature for system-level accuracy budgeting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4114US | Same 20 V Zener, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention | Select 1N4114US only when board space constraints mandate SMT and thermal path supports 250 °C/W junction-to-pad dissipation |
| 1N4744A | 20 V Zener, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, commercial-grade only, ±5% tolerance, no MIL qualification | Lacks JANTX screening, higher noise (10 µV/√Hz), wider thermal resistance (500 °C/W), not radiation-hardened | Choose 1N4744A only for cost-sensitive industrial controls where MIL-spec reliability and low-noise performance are non-critical |
Compared with 1N4114US and 1N4744A, the 1N4114/TR uniquely combines JANTX-level reliability, ultra-low 1 µV/√Hz noise, and axial-leaded DO-35 form factor - making it irreplaceable in mission-critical analog references where parameter stability under thermal stress and radiation exposure is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4114/TR?
The 1N4114/TR 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 standard test conditions of 25 °C and IZT = 250 mA. The 1N4114/TR does not carry tighter tolerance suffixes (e.g., "C" for ±2% or "D" for ±1%) - those are available only on other variants in the same family.
Is 1N4114/TR qualified to JANTX level?
Yes, the 1N4114/TR is qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, as explicitly stated in the "Qualified Levels" section on page 1 of the datasheet. This includes full screening for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and hermeticity - distinguishing it from commercial-only equivalents like the 1N4744A. The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging but does not affect qualification level.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N4114/TR?
The maximum Zener current for 1N4114/TR is 40 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value corresponds to the current at which the device reaches its rated 500 mW power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature. Operation above this current requires strict thermal management due to linear derating above 50 °C.
Does 1N4114/TR have RoHS compliance?
The 1N4114/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4114-1e3/TR), as noted in the "PART NOMENCLATURE" section on page 2. However, RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade units; JANTX-qualified units retain traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements. Always verify the full part number suffix to confirm compliance status.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for 1N4114/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for 1N4114/TR is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as listed in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and confirms suitability for high-reliability mounting configurations where heat conduction through leads is the dominant thermal path.
