Product details
Overview
1N4134-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 91 V, ±5% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4134-1 datasheet, 1N4134-1 pinout, 1N4134-1 application, or 1N4134-1 equivalent, this part delivers stable 91 V regulation with 4.2 mA maximum Zener current, 1200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), critical for precision reference and radiation-hardened systems.
Technical Context
The 1N4134-1 operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 91 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and maximum reverse leakage of 0.01 µA at 73 V (80% of VZ). Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness under thermal cycling and shock.
Designed for operation at lead temperature (TL) up to 175 °C, it features linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, with junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 250 °C/W when mounted with 10 mm lead length, enabling reliable performance in high-temperature avionics environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4134UR-1 | Same 91 V Zener voltage and 500 mW rating, but in DO-213AA surface-mount package | Enables automated SMT assembly; lacks axial-lead flexibility for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mounting | Select when board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is required |
| 1N4134-1e3 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (commercial grade only) | Not qualified to JAN/JANTXV/JANS levels; unsuitable for military/aerospace programs requiring MIL-PRF-19500 certification | Select for commercial industrial systems where RoHS compliance is mandated and mil-spec is not required |
Compared with 1N4134UR-1 and 1N4134-1e3, the 1N4134-1 uniquely combines JANS-level qualification, axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical robustness, and radiation hardness-making it the sole choice for flight-critical voltage references where traceable mil-spec pedigree is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4134-1?
The 1N4134-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 91 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with 250 mA test current (IZT), and no tighter tolerance option (e.g., 2% or 1%) is listed for this specific part number in the datasheet.
Is 1N4134-1 qualified to JANS level?
Yes, the 1N4134-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, as explicitly stated in the DESCRIPTION section on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This qualification covers all reliability levels including JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS, confirming its suitability for spaceflight and nuclear-hardened applications.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N4134-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N4134-1 is 69.2 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value corresponds to the current at which the device dissipates its rated 500 mW at 91 V, and must be respected to avoid thermal runaway under sustained DC operation.
Does 1N4134-1 have RoHS compliance?
The base 1N4134-1 is not RoHS compliant; RoHS compliance is only available in the commercial-grade variant designated as 1N4134-1e3, which uses annealed matte-tin plating. The standard 1N4134-1 retains tin-lead plating and is intended for mil-spec applications where RoHS exemption applies per MIL-PRF-19500/435.
What is the noise density specification for 1N4134-1?
The noise density for 1N4134-1 is 1 µV/√Hz, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value is measured at 25 °C ambient using a 1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass filter and 250 mA Zener test current (IZT), and reflects its ultra-low-noise performance among high-voltage Zener diodes.
