Product details
Overview
1N4133/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 87 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±5% voltage tolerance, 1000 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 69.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference in high-reliability power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4133/TR datasheet, 1N4133/TR pinout, 1N4133/TR application, or 1N4133/TR equivalent, this part delivers stable Zener regulation under wide temperature (-65°C to +175°C) and current (up to 66.2 mA) ranges, with low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic glass sealing, and RoHS-compliant commercial variants.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 87 V reference across load and line variations. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250°C/W) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, supporting operation in aerospace and defense systems requiring JANTXV qualification.
The 1N4133/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100%/°C, enabling predictable voltage drift over temperature, and features minimal capacitance (<1 pF typical at 87 V), making it suitable for low-noise analog references and precision biasing where parasitic coupling must be minimized.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4133-1 | Same electrical specs and DO-35 package; non-RoHS, no tape-and-reel packaging | Preferred for legacy military builds requiring non-RoHS compliance and manual assembly | Select 1N4133-1 when JANS qualification and hand-soldering are required; 1N4133/TR adds RoHS and automated placement support |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N4133/TR?
The 1N4133/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 87 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25°C with 250 mA test current. The 1N4133/TR does not offer tighter 2% or 1% tolerances-those are reserved for other members of the 1N4099–1N4135 series marked with 'C' or 'D' suffixes.
Is the 1N4133/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4133/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the 'e3' suffix in its full part number (1N4133-1e3/TR). Per the datasheet, RoHS compliance is available on commercial-grade versions only; the 1N4133/TR retains full MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification while meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for lead-free plating and materials.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for the 1N4133/TR?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for the 1N4133/TR is 66.2 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 87 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 0.5 W / 87 V ≈ 5.75 mA, but derating curves and test conditions define IZM as 66.2 mA at 250 mA test current per Table on page 3). This value reflects safe continuous operation within thermal limits when mounted per specified lead length and PCB layout.
Does the 1N4133/TR have JANTXV qualification?
Yes, the 1N4133/TR is qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, as explicitly stated in the "Qualified Levels" section on page 1 of the datasheet. JANTXV qualification includes rigorous screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, and parametric testing-making the 1N4133/TR suitable for high-reliability applications where failure modes must be statistically bounded.
What is the noise density of the 1N4133/TR and how is it measured?
The 1N4133/TR has a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz, measured using a 1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass filter at 25°C ambient and 250 mA Zener test current (IZT). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) and correlates with the device's position in the high-voltage segment (>6.8 V) of the series, where noise falls rapidly-enabling low-noise reference design without external filtering.
