Product details
Overview
1N4131UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a glass-encapsulated, hermetically sealed, 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 75 V at 250 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and maximum Zener impedance of 700 Ω at IZT. It operates across -65°C to +175°C and is used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability analog power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4131UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4131UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4131UR-1/TR application, or 1N4131UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75 V Zener voltage, low noise density (1 μV/√Hz), radiation-hardened construction, hermetic glass MELF package, and suitability for aerospace, military, and industrial power conditioning where thermal stability and long-term parameter drift are critical.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown mode, with regulation maintained over wide current (250 mA IZT, 40 mA IZM) and temperature (-65°C to +175°C) ranges. Its Zener impedance (700 Ω) and temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C) are specified at 25°C under thermal equilibrium conditions.
The 1N4131UR-1/TR features an internal metallurgical bond (denoted by "-1" suffix), enhancing mechanical robustness and thermal cycling reliability versus standard die-attach variants. Its cathode band marking and polarity-banded end positive during Zener operation-define unambiguous orientation for PCB layout and functional testing.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with axial symmetry; no discrete pins - terminals are end-cap metallized ends. Cathode identified by single black band; banded end must be held positive relative to unbanded end during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential rail; voltage referenced to anode; polarity-critical for correct breakdown conduction |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF package | Prevents moisture ingress and parametric shift over decades; qualified for space-grade reliability |
| Internal metallurgical bond | Eliminates epoxy die attach; improves thermal conductivity and resistance to thermal shock |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently radiation-tolerant per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for TID-sensitive environments |
| ESD immunity | Nonsensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling |
| Low capacitance | Typical ~5 pF (per Figure 3) - minimizes signal coupling in RF-adjacent bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4131UR-1 | No TR tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only; identical electrical specs and metallurgical bond | Lacks automated SMT placement support; requires manual or semi-automated assembly | Select when production volume does not justify reel logistics or when prototyping with hand-soldering |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4131UR-1/TR?
The 1N4131UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration and confirmed in Microsemi's datasheet revision D. No suffix indicates this default tolerance; tighter tolerances (±2% or ±1%) require C or D suffixes not present in this part number. The 1N4131UR-1/TR maintains this tolerance across its full operating temperature range when properly mounted and thermally stabilized.
Does 1N4131UR-1/TR have radiation-hardened characteristics?
Yes, the 1N4131UR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050, due to its hermetic glass package and silicon process. This makes it suitable for total ionizing dose (TID) environments common in space and nuclear applications. The 1N4131UR-1/TR does not require additional shielding or derating for typical low-earth orbit missions up to 100 krad(Si).
What does the "-1" suffix signify in 1N4131UR-1/TR?
The "-1" suffix in 1N4131UR-1/TR denotes internal metallurgical bonding between the silicon die and package end caps - a construction method that replaces organic adhesives with direct metal-to-metal bonds. This improves thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and resistance to thermal cycling failure. The 1N4131UR-1/TR retains this feature while adding tape-and-reel packaging ("TR") for automated assembly.
Is 1N4131UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, the 1N4131UR-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Its end caps use tin-lead (Sn/Pb) plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, as stated in the datasheet. RoHS-compliant versions carry the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4131UR-1/TR-e3), which is a distinct orderable part. The 1N4131UR-1/TR is intended for applications where Sn/Pb solder compatibility and legacy qualification take priority over RoHS requirements.
What is the maximum Zener test current for 1N4131UR-1/TR?
The maximum Zener test current for 1N4131UR-1/TR is 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet. This current establishes the 75 V Zener voltage measurement condition at 25°C under thermal equilibrium. Continuous operation above this current risks exceeding the 0.5 W power limit unless end-cap temperature is actively controlled below 100°C.
