Product details
Overview
1N4125UR/TR from Microsemi is a glass-encapsulated surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package, rated for 0.5 W steady-state power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage 47 V ±5%, 250 mA test current, 250 Ω maximum Zener impedance at IZT, and −0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient. It regulates voltage in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4125UR/TR datasheet, 1N4125UR/TR pinout, 1N4125UR/TR application, or 1N4125UR/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, hermetic packaging details, RoHS-compliant plating, and JEDEC-registered 1N-series compatibility - all critical for high-reliability analog design and long-lifecycle BOM planning.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its 47 V nominal voltage is specified at 250 mA test current under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C, with Zener impedance measured using 25 µA RMS AC superimposed on IZT.
The device exhibits low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical), minimal capacitance (<1 pF at 47 V), and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. It maintains stable regulation from −65 °C to +175 °C, with thermal resistance of 150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | 47 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 100 Ω ZZT, +0.075 %/°C TC | Higher power but larger footprint and positive TC - less suitable for tight thermal zones or low-drift references | Select 1N4125UR/TR when space-constrained SMT layout, negative TC matching, or hermetic reliability is required |
| BZX84-C47 | 47 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOT-23 package, 150 Ω ZZT, −0.075 %/°C TC, 100 nA IR @ 37.6 V | Plastic package, lower surge capability, higher leakage - limited to commercial-grade consumer electronics | Select 1N4125UR/TR for extended temperature operation, hermetic sealing, or MIL-STD-750 qualified ESD immunity |
Compared with 1N4750A and BZX84-C47, the 1N4125UR/TR offers superior thermal stability (−0.090 %/°C), hermetic DO-213AA packaging for harsh environments, and JEDEC-registered compatibility - making it optimal for industrial, aerospace, and telecom infrastructure where long-term parametric drift and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for the 1N4125UR/TR?
The 1N4125UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current (IZT) under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C ambient. This tolerance applies to the base part number without C or D suffixes; tighter 2% or 1% tolerances require suffix C or D respectively.
Does the 1N4125UR/TR have RoHS-compliant packaging options?
Yes, the 1N4125UR/TR is RoHS compliant and designated with the "e3" suffix per the datasheet. It features annealed matte-tin plating on end caps, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements without lead or hazardous substances.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the 1N4125UR/TR?
The 1N4125UR/TR is rated for 0.5 W steady-state power dissipation at end-cap temperature below 100 °C or ambient temperature below 25 °C on FR4 board. Derating begins linearly beyond those points, with thermal resistance of 150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient per recommended footprint.
How is polarity marked and interpreted on the 1N4125UR/TR?
The 1N4125UR/TR uses a single black cathode band to indicate polarity. For Zener regulation, the banded (cathode) end must be held positive relative to the non-banded (anode) end. Reversing polarity places the device in forward conduction mode with 1.1 V drop at 200 mA.
Is the 1N4125UR/TR suitable for high-reliability or military applications?
Yes - the 1N4125UR/TR is JEDEC-registered, hermetically sealed in glass DO-213AA, nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and inherently radiation-hard per MicroNote 050. Internal metallurgical bond variants (e.g., 1N4125UR-1) support JAN/JANTX/JANTXV qualification upon request.
