Product details
Overview
1N4371A-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 2.7 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, -0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient, and rated for -65°C to +175°C operation. It provides precision voltage regulation in military-grade power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4371A-1/TR datasheet, 1N4371A-1/TR pinout, 1N4371A-1/TR application, or 1N4371A-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.7 V nominal Zener voltage, 30 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 20 mA, MIL-qualified reliability, DO-35 mechanical form factor, and TR tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference diode with metallurgically bonded junction, delivering stable 2.7 V regulation across -65°C to +175°C ambient. Its 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current ensures low output variation under load transients.
The 1N4371A-1/TR exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -0.080 %/°C at 25°C and +150°C, indicating predictable voltage drift with temperature rise. It supports 155 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at 50°C lead temperature and derates linearly to zero at 175°C.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4371AUR-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA (MELF) surface-mount package; RoHS compliant only | Requires PCB redesign for SMT layout; unsuitable for through-hole or wire-wrap prototyping | Select when automated reflow assembly and space-constrained layouts are required |
| 1N4371A-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical specs but without TR tape-and-reel packaging | Lacks standardized feeding for pick-and-place machines; requires manual or bulk loading | Select for low-volume prototyping or repair where reel packaging adds no value |
Compared with 1N4371AUR-1 and 1N4371A-1, the 1N4371A-1/TR offers identical Zener performance and MIL qualification while adding TR packaging for production-line compatibility-no electrical trade-offs, but enables scalable manufacturing without changing circuit design.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N4371A-1/TR?
The 1N4371A-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number per JEDEC nomenclature. This tolerance applies at 25°C with IZT = 20 mA, and the device maintains regulation across its full -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range. The 1N4371A-1/TR is tested and binned to meet this specification under MIL-PRF-19500/127 requirements.
Is the 1N4371A-1/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N4371A-1/TR is not RoHS compliant; it uses traditional tin-lead plating on its leads. RoHS-compliant versions are available only in the commercial-grade UR-suffixed variants (e.g., 1N4371AUR-1) and are not qualified to JAN/JANTX levels. The 1N4371A-1/TR retains tin-lead terminations to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements for military applications.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N4371A-1/TR?
"TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated handling and placement in high-volume manufacturing. The 1N4371A-1/TR contains the same DO-35 glass axial device as the bulk version but is supplied wound on reels compatible with pick-and-place equipment. This packaging format does not affect electrical or thermal specifications of the 1N4371A-1/TR.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for the 1N4371A-1/TR?
The 1N4371A-1/TR has a maximum Zener current (IZM) of 155 mA at TL = 50°C with 0.375 inch lead length. This rating assumes linear derating to zero at 175°C. At ambient temperature (TA = 55°C) on a typical FR4 PCB, the usable IZM reduces to approximately 125 mA due to higher thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (300 °C/W). Exceeding IZM risks permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure of the 1N4371A-1/TR.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4371A-1/TR?
The 1N4371A-1/TR uses a cathode band painted on the glass body to identify the cathode terminal; the banded end must be held at a higher potential than the unbanded (anode) end for proper Zener regulation. This marking complies with industry-standard diode polarity conventions and is verified per MIL-STD-750 method 2011. Reversing polarity subjects the 1N4371A-1/TR to forward conduction with VF ≈ 1.1 V at 200 mA, not regulation.
