Product details
Overview
1N4128UR-1/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 of 60 V at 250 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and maximum Zener impedance of 400 Ω at IZT. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C and regulates voltage in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4128UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4128UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4128UR-1/TR application, or 1N4128UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V Zener voltage, 400 Ω dynamic impedance, hermetically sealed MELF package, low noise density (1 μV/√Hz), and compatibility with high-reliability industrial and aerospace systems requiring stable voltage clamping under wide temperature and current variation.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown mode, with regulation established by controlled avalanche mechanism above 6.8 V. Its thermal resistance is 150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board, enabling stable operation up to 175 °C storage temperature.
The 1N4128UR-1/TR features an internal metallurgical bond (denoted by "-1" suffix), enhancing mechanical robustness and thermal cycling reliability versus standard wire-bonded variants. Its cathode band marking and polarity-sensitive mounting require the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode during Zener regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 60 V at 250 mA test current - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W at TEC < 100 °C - limits continuous thermal load without derating on properly designed PCB footprint |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 400 Ω max at 250 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage deviation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.01 μA max at 45.6 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.090 %/°C - quantifies positive drift of Zener voltage with rising temperature, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Noise Density | 1 μV/√Hz typical at 25 °C - supports low-noise analog sensing and precision instrumentation applications |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) - hermetically sealed glass surface-mount package with 1.6–1.7 mm diameter and 3.3–3.7 mm length |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) is a cylindrical, hermetically sealed glass surface-mount package with axial symmetry and cathode identification via a single dark band. No discrete pins exist; terminals are the two metallized end caps - cathode (banded end) and anode (unmarked end).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output terminal | Must be held positive relative to anode to maintain Zener conduction; connects to protected node or reference point |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Reference/return terminal | Typically grounded or connected to lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates wire bond fatigue failure modes, improving reliability in high-vibration and thermal-cycling environments |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift, supporting 175 °C storage and extended field life |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Enables handling and assembly without special ESD controls, reducing manufacturing overhead |
| Low capacitance (typ. 2.5 pF at 0 V) | Maintains high-frequency response in RF detector and fast transient suppression circuits |
| Radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050 | Validated performance in total ionizing dose (TID) environments up to 100 krad(Si), suitable for space-grade designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128UR-1 | No TR tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only; identical electrical specs and metallurgical bond | Lacks automated SMT placement support; suited for hand-solder or low-volume prototyping | Select when reel packaging is unnecessary and cost-per-unit optimization is prioritized |
| BZX84-C62LT1G | 62 V nominal Zener, ±5% tolerance, SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating, higher ZZT (600 Ω) | Lower power rating and plastic package limit use in high-temp or radiation environments | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial applications where 62 V clamping and SMT compatibility outweigh hermeticity needs |
Compared with 1N4128UR-1/TR, the 1N4128UR-1 offers identical performance but lacks tape-and-reel convenience, while BZX84-C62LT1G trades hermetic reliability and 0.5 W capability for smaller size and lower cost in non-critical environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4128UR-1/TR?
The 1N4128UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 60 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification. No suffix indicates this default tolerance; tighter tolerances (±2% or ±1%) would require C or D suffixes not present in this part number. The 1N4128UR-1/TR maintains this tolerance across its full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C.
Does 1N4128UR-1/TR have a RoHS-compliant version?
Yes - the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, and the 1N4128UR-1/TR is explicitly listed in the e3 family documentation. Its end caps feature annealed matte-tin plating compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and all materials meet EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The "TR" suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging, fully compatible with RoHS-compliant SMT assembly.
What does the "-1" in 1N4128UR-1/TR signify?
The "-1" suffix in 1N4128UR-1/TR indicates internal metallurgical bond construction, a reliability enhancement replacing traditional wire bonding with direct metal-to-semiconductor interconnect. This improves thermal cycling endurance and vibration resistance. The "TR" suffix is separate and denotes tape-and-reel packaging - so 1N4128UR-1/TR combines both metallurgical bonding and automated placement readiness.
Can 1N4128UR-1/TR replace axial-leaded 1N4128 in existing designs?
No - the 1N4128UR-1/TR uses a DO-213AA (MELF) surface-mount package, whereas the legacy 1N4128 is axial-leaded DO-35. They share identical electrical specifications but differ mechanically: DO-213AA requires reflow-compatible footprint (0.080″ pad spacing, 0.200″ pad length), while DO-35 uses through-hole holes. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and solder process validation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4128UR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4128UR-1/TR is 0.01 μA at 45.6 V (76% of nominal 60 V Zener voltage), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and precision reference dividers where loading error must remain below 1 nA. The value remains stable across the full –65 °C to +125 °C operating range per characterization data.
