Product details
Overview
1N4133-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 87 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 1% voltage tolerance, 1000 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and max noise density of 1 µV/√Hz - used for precision voltage regulation in radiation-hardened aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4133-1 datasheet, 1N4133-1 pinout, 1N4133-1 application, or 1N4133-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal derating behavior, military qualification level, noise performance, and surface-mount alternatives for high-reliability analog reference design.
Technical Context
The 1N4133-1 operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with metallurgically bonded junction, enabling stable regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C. Its 87 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 250 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 1000 Ω and temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C.
It exhibits ultra-low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 0.01 µA at VR = 69.6 V), minimal capacitance (~3.5 pF), and inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. Noise density is 1 µV/√Hz - among the lowest in the 1N4099–1N4135 family for high-stability references.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4133UR-1 | Same electrical specs; DO-213AA surface-mount package instead of DO-35 axial lead | Required for automated SMT assembly; eliminates through-hole reflow concerns but reduces thermal mass | Select when board space is constrained and reflow profile supports glass-body SMT handling |
| 1PMT4133 | Same 87 V, 1% spec; DO-216 tabbed SMT package with higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 400 °C/W) | Suitable for low-power monitoring circuits where footprint and height are prioritized over power handling | Choose for compact designs needing <1.5 mm profile; verify derating at ambient >70 °C |
Compared with 1N4133-1, the 1N4133UR-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller SMT form factor ideal for high-density layouts, while the 1PMT4133 trades thermal capability for ultra-low profile - both require updated PCB land patterns and reflow validation.

Yes, the 1N4133-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, as stated in the DESCRIPTION section on Page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. JANS is the highest reliability grade for space applications, and the datasheet confirms qualification up to JANS for the entire 1N4099–1N4135 series, including 1N4133-1.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4133-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4133-1 is 0.01 µA at VR = 69.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision reference applications.
Does 1N4133-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N4133-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, as noted in the APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS section on Page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and JANS qualification confirm suitability for TID environments exceeding 100 krad in space systems.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for 1N4133-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for 1N4133-1 is 300 °C/W, measured on FR4 PCB with 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm track width (25 mm length), per the MAXIMUM RATINGS table on Page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value governs safe power derating above 25 °C ambient.
