Product details
Overview
1N4117/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 25 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±5% voltage tolerance, 150 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 19 V, used for precision voltage regulation in military-grade power supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4117/TR datasheet, 1N4117/TR pinout, 1N4117/TR application, or 1N4117/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal derating behavior, noise density (1 µV/√Hz), junction temperature range (–65°C to +175°C), and RoHS-compliant commercial availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with metallurgical bonding ensuring stable Zener characteristics across temperature extremes. Its 25 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 250 mA test current (IZT), and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in high-reliability analog references.
The 1N4117/TR maintains low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) and minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF), enabling use in low-noise bandgap references and precision instrumentation. Its DO-35 package provides hermetic sealing and meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements, supporting operation up to 175 °C junction temperature with 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4117US | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Used where board space is constrained and reflow assembly is required | Select 1N4117US only when SMT placement and footprint compatibility are mandatory |
| 1N4117-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical parameters; differs only in part numbering suffix indicating JAN/JANTXV qualification level | Same use cases but requires formal military procurement documentation | Choose 1N4117-1 when compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTXV screening is contractually required |
Compared with 1N4117/TR, the 1N4117US offers identical regulation performance in a smaller surface-mount form factor, while 1N4117-1 provides the same DO-35 mechanical interface with formal military screening documentation - neither is pin-compatible in the sense of direct substitution without verifying procurement and qualification requirements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4117/TR?
The 1N4117/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 25.0 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 the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tolerance applies at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature.
Is 1N4117/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4117/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with annealed matte-tin plating on commercial-grade units. RoHS compliance is explicitly stated in the FEATURES section and PART NOMENCLATURE table of the datasheet, though JANTXV-qualified versions may follow different material specifications depending on screening level.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4117/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4117/TR is 0.01 µA at 19 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value reflects worst-case leakage under rated conditions and supports low-power reference designs where standby current must be minimized.
Does 1N4117/TR require heatsinking in typical applications?
No, 1N4117/TR does not require external heatsinking in typical applications due to its 500 mW power rating and 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. When mounted with 3/8″ lead length from body on standard FR4 PCB, it safely dissipates full rated power at ambient temperatures up to 50 °C before linear derating begins.
What is the noise performance of 1N4117/TR?
The 1N4117/TR has a measured noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 250 mA Zener test current, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 1 test circuit description. This low noise enables use in high-accuracy analog references where broadband noise would degrade system resolution.
