Product details
Overview
1N4129UR/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 62 V ±5%, Zener test current 250 μA, and maximum Zener impedance 500 Ω at IZT. It regulates voltage in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4129UR/TR datasheet, 1N4129UR/TR pinout, 1N4129UR/TR application, or 1N4129UR/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 62 V regulation level, low noise density (1 μV/√Hz), hermetic glass package, -65°C to +175°C operating range, and RoHS-compliant e3 marking with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining stable 62 V output across load current variations from 1 μA to 40 mA. Its Zener impedance of 500 Ω at 250 μA ensures predictable dynamic response under transient conditions.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it features inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, nonsensitivity to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and thermal resistance of 150°C/W junction-to-end-cap - enabling operation up to 175°C ambient when properly mounted on FR4 with recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 62 V ±5% at 250 μA - defines primary regulation point for precision biasing and clamping |
| Steady-State Power Dissipation | 0.5 W at TEC < 100°C - limits continuous thermal stress in compact SMT layouts |
| Zener Impedance | 500 Ω max at IZT = 250 μA - determines AC regulation stability under varying load currents |
| Maximum Reverse Current | 10 nA at VR = 47.1 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Noise Density | 1 μV/√Hz typical at IZT - supports low-noise analog references in instrumentation |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in aerospace, downhole, and military systems |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) glass body - provides hermetic sealing and superior thermal cycling reliability |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package with axial symmetry and cathode band marking. Polarity: banded end is cathode; device operates with cathode positive relative to anode during Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection point | Applied positive voltage relative to anode to enable reverse breakdown regulation at 62 V |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection point | Reference ground or return path; reverse current flows from cathode to anode during regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4748A-T | 62 V ±5%, 1 W power rating, DO-41 axial package, higher ZZT (700 Ω) | Requires through-hole PCB layout; better suited for high-energy transient absorption | Select when higher surge power handling is needed and SMT is not required |
| BZX84-C62-7-F | 62 V ±5%, 300 mW, SOT-23 package, higher ZZT (1 kΩ), 100 nA IR at 47.1 V | Smaller footprint but lower thermal mass; limited to low-power portable electronics | Select when board space is constrained and 0.5 W derating is acceptable |
Compared with 1N4129UR/TR, 1N4748A-T offers higher surge capability but lacks hermetic sealing and radiation tolerance, while BZX84-C62-7-F reduces size at the cost of thermal robustness and noise performance - making 1N4129UR/TR optimal for high-reliability, high-temperature, low-noise Zener reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4129UR/TR?
The 1N4129UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi datasheet. No suffix indicates this default tolerance; tighter tolerances (±2% or ±1%) require C or D suffixes respectively, which are not present in the 1N4129UR/TR part number.
Does 1N4129UR/TR support RoHS compliance?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N4129UR/TR confirms RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating on end caps, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and meets lead-free assembly requirements including peak reflow at 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4129UR/TR at rated voltage?
At VR = 47.1 V (75% of nominal 62 V), the 1N4129UR/TR exhibits a maximum reverse current of 10 nA. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference node stability in battery-powered and precision analog circuits.
Can 1N4129UR/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N4129UR/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance without parameter degradation - making it suitable for satellite, nuclear instrumentation, and high-altitude avionics where single-event effects must be minimized.
What is the thermal resistance specification for 1N4129UR/TR?
The 1N4129UR/TR has a thermal resistance of 150°C/W junction-to-end-cap and 300°C/W junction-to-ambient when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. This allows safe operation up to 175°C ambient if end-cap temperature remains below 100°C.
