Product details
Overview
1N4125/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 47 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 5% voltage tolerance, 250 mA test current, and 250 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 °C - used for precision voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4125/TR datasheet, 1N4125/TR pinout, 1N4125/TR application, or 1N4125/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal derating behavior, noise density (1 µV/√Hz), RoHS-compliant plating option, and military-grade reliability data required for high-reliability analog reference design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with metallurgically bonded junction for low-noise, stable breakdown. Its 47 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient and maintains regulation across 1–40 mA reverse current range.
Designed for hermetic axial-leaded mounting, it delivers 500 mW power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C, with 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance under 10 mm lead length conditions.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4125/TR?
The 1N4125/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tolerance reflects the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4125-1 series, and the "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging - it does not affect voltage tolerance. The 1N4125/TR maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the 1N4125/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4125/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full qualified part number (e.g., 1N4125-1e3). RoHS compliance applies to commercial-grade versions only and features annealed matte-tin plating. The device remains fully compatible with MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTXV qualification while meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N4125/TR at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, the 1N4125/TR must be derated linearly from 500 mW starting at 50 °C, reaching zero at 175 °C. Thus, at 70 °C, its maximum allowable power dissipation is 433 mW. This derating is based on junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 300 °C/W on FR4 board with specified copper pad geometry, and assumes proper lead length and mounting per datasheet conditions.
Does the 1N4125/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N4125/TR is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded junction structure provides tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) and displacement damage, supporting use in space and nuclear environments. Radiation hardness is a built-in property of the process and does not require separate test reporting for each lot.
What is the noise density specification for the 1N4125/TR?
The 1N4125/TR has a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz, measured at 25 °C ambient using a 1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass filter and 250 mA Zener test current. This value is consistent across the 47 V variant and reflects the low-noise performance enabled by its metallurgical bond construction - critical for precision analog reference applications.
