Product details
Overview
1N4115-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 22.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial 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, 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 17.6 V, and +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient - used in precision reference and power supply feedback circuits for aerospace avionics.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4115-1 datasheet, 1N4115-1 pinout, 1N4115-1 application, or 1N4115-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (250 °C/W), noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz), MIL-qualified reliability level, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, biased in reverse breakdown with cathode band indicating polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise and radiation hardness, while the hermetically sealed glass DO-35 package supports operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.090 %/°C), enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references. The 150 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA and 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 17.6 V define its regulation accuracy under varying load and line conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4748A | 22 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, no MIL qualification | Higher power but non-hermetic plastic package; unsuitable for vacuum or high-reliability mil-aero use | Select only for commercial industrial designs where cost and power margin outweigh reliability requirements |
| SMF22A | 22 V ±5%, 400 W peak power, SOD-123 surface-mount package, TVS-rated not Zener-regulator optimized | Designed for transient suppression, not precision regulation; higher dynamic impedance (>500 Ω) and wider VZ distribution | Use only for overvoltage clamping - not as a voltage reference or regulator in feedback loops |
Compared with 1N4115-1, the 1N4748A offers higher power but lacks hermeticity and MIL screening, while SMF22A trades regulation precision for surge robustness - neither matches the 1N4115-1's combination of low-noise, radiation-hardened, JANTXV-qualified performance in DO-35.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N4115-1?
The 1N4115-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5% at 250 mA test current (IZT). This value is measured under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C ambient and reflects the device's regulation point in shunt configuration. The 1N4115-1 maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range when properly heatsinked.
Is the 1N4115-1 suitable for high-reliability aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N4115-1 is qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, including full screening for vibration, thermal shock, and burn-in. Its hermetically sealed DO-35 glass package and metallurgical bond construction meet stringent requirements for aerospace avionics and satellite subsystems. The 1N4115-1 is explicitly referenced in Microsemi MicroNote 050 for radiation-hardened applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4115-1?
The 1N4115-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at 17.6 V (80% of nominal VZ). This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference designs where error currents must be minimized - such as in precision voltage dividers or op-amp feedback networks. The 1N4115-1 achieves this performance due to its controlled diffusion process and hermetic sealing.
Does the 1N4115-1 have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
The 1N4115-1 has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature. This behavior is typical for Zener diodes above ~5 V and enables temperature-compensated reference designs when paired with negative-TC components. The 1N4115-1's coefficient is tightly controlled and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet.
What package type does the 1N4115-1 use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The 1N4115-1 uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by a band. RoHS compliance is available only on commercial-grade versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4115-1e3); JANTXV-qualified units retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750. The 1N4115-1's mechanical dimensions and solderability are fully specified in the Package Dimensions section (page 5) of the datasheet.
