Product details
Overview
1N4135-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 100 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 1% voltage tolerance, 1600 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and max noise density of 1 µV/√Hz. It delivers stable reference voltage in high-reliability power supply regulation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4135-1 datasheet, 1N4135-1 pinout, 1N4135-1 application, or 1N4135-1 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, Zener impedance vs. current, noise performance at 100 V, and mil-spec qualification details critical for aerospace, defense, and radiation-hardened designs.
Technical Context
The 1N4135-1 operates as a reverse-biased Zener diode with precise 100 V breakdown at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting +0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient and 40 µA maximum reverse leakage at 76 V (VR). Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures low long-term drift and high reliability under thermal cycling.
Designed for operation up to +175 °C junction temperature, it features 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance with 3/8″ lead length and linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C - enabling predictable thermal management in sealed or conduction-cooled enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 100 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precision 100 V reference generation with tight tolerance for calibration circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - defines safe continuous operating envelope under thermal stress. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1600 Ω at 250 mA - indicates moderate regulation stiffness; suitable for low-current references but not high-precision shunt regulators. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz at 100 V - ultra-low broadband noise ideal for sensitive analog references and metrology-grade voltage standards. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤40 µA at 76 V - confirms sharp knee and low off-state conduction, critical for standby power integrity. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.100 %/°C - predictable positive drift allows compensation in multi-Zener reference stacks. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including space, downhole, and military avionics. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by band; banded end is positive during Zener regulation. Hermetically sealed, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, ~0.2 g weight, 1.0–1.5″ lead length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Ground-reference terminal | Connected to circuit common; reverse bias applied between cathode and anode to activate Zener conduction. |
| Cathode | Zener regulation output | Banded end; supplies regulated 100 V when reverse biased; must be held >100 V above anode for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal metallurgical bond | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal shock and long-term bias, ensuring parameter stability over 20+ years. |
| JANS-level qualification | Meets MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening for radiation hardness, hermeticity, and burn-in - required for flight-critical systems. |
| Ultra-low noise density | 1 µV/√Hz at 100 V enables use in low-noise voltage references where 1/f and thermal noise dominate error budgets. |
| 1% voltage tolerance option | Reduces need for external trimming in precision power supplies and ADC/DAC reference chains. |
| Non-ESD-sensitive design | Passes MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - simplifies handling in uncontrolled assembly environments without special grounding. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4135UR-1 | Same 100 V Zener, DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads; 1% tolerance retained. | Used where board space is constrained and reflow soldering replaces through-hole assembly. | Select 1N4135UR-1 when migrating to SMT layout or reducing mechanical stress on PCB from lead bending. |
| 1N4135-1e3 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead. | Required for commercial-grade designs targeting EU WEEE/RoHS compliance without mil-spec screening. | Choose 1N4135-1e3 only if RoHS compliance is mandatory and JAN/JANTXV/JANS qualification is not needed. |
Compared with 1N4135UR-1 and 1N4135-1e3, the 1N4135-1 offers legacy tin-lead termination and full mil-spec qualification path (JAN to JANS), making it the sole choice for programs requiring MIL-PRF-19500/435 conformance and through-hole reliability validation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N4135-1?
The 1N4135-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 100 V with ±1% tolerance, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tighter tolerance is achieved via post-process screening and applies under standard test conditions of 250 mA Zener test current and 25 °C ambient temperature. The 1N4135-1 achieves this spec without external trimming.
Does the 1N4135-1 meet MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements?
Yes, the 1N4135-1 is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 at JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS levels as stated in the DESCRIPTION section of the datasheet. Qualification includes hermeticity testing, temperature cycling, burn-in, and radiation hardness assurance per MicroNote 050 - all verified for the exact 1N4135-1 part number.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4135-1?
The 1N4135-1 exhibits ≤40 µA maximum reverse leakage current (IR) at VR = 76 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value reflects worst-case leakage near the regulation knee and is measured at 25 °C. At lower reverse voltages, leakage drops significantly - e.g., <0.01 µA below 50 V - supporting low-power standby modes in the 1N4135-1.
Can the 1N4135-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4135-1 is exclusively packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case. For surface-mount compatibility, Microsemi offers the functionally identical 1N4135UR-1 in DO-213AA package. The 1N4135-1 requires through-hole mounting and cannot be reflowed or placed using SMT equipment without mechanical adaptation.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for the 1N4135-1?
The 1N4135-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead when measured with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body, as listed in the Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard lead mounting and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load - for example, at 500 mW dissipation, ΔTJL = 125 °C, placing TJ at 150 °C when TL = 25 °C.
