Product details
Overview
1N4372ARL from ON Semiconductor is a 500 mW, 3.0 V ±5% hermetically sealed glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for –65°C to +200°C operation, with 29 Ω max zener impedance at 20 mA and 50 µA max reverse leakage at 1 V, used for precision voltage reference and low-power regulation in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4372ARL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal stability up to +200°C, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and DO-35 mechanical robustness in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This device employs silicon-oxide passivated junction technology to achieve stable breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance. Its double-slug, metallurgically bonded construction ensures reliable thermal transfer and hermetic sealing against moisture and contaminants.
The 1N4372ARL operates with a nominal zener voltage of 3.0 V measured at 20 mA (IZT), exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero in the 3 V range (per Figure 4a), and maintains regulation under steady-state power dissipation up to 500 mW at lead temperature ≤75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.85–3.15 V @ IZT = 20 mA - tight ±5% tolerance enables accurate reference generation without trimming |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - supports continuous regulation in compact, unheatsinked layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤29 Ω @ IZT = 20 mA - low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤50 µA @ VR = 1 V - low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - robust handling during manual assembly and field operation |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +200°C - validated for aerospace, downhole, and high-temp industrial use |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4728A | Same 3.3 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance, 1.0 W rating, DO-41 package | Higher power dissipation supports higher current loads; larger DO-41 footprint requires PCB redesign | Select when >500 mW regulation or improved thermal margin is required |
| BZX55C3V0 | 3.0 V nominal VZ, ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35, but only rated to +150°C and lacks documented >16 kV HBM ESD | Lower max temperature and unverified ESD performance limit use in aerospace or downhole designs | Select for commercial-grade cost-sensitive applications where full 200°C and ESD specs are not mandatory |
Compared with 1N4372ARL, the 1N4728A offers higher power capacity but requires layout change, while the BZX55C3V0 matches form factor and voltage but sacrifices high-temperature reliability and ESD robustness-making 1N4372ARL optimal for mission-critical, high-reliability deployments.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for 1N4372ARL?
The 1N4372ARL has a nominal zener voltage of 3.0 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual VZ falls between 2.85 V and 3.15 V when measured at IZT = 20 mA and lead temperature of 30°C ±1°C. This tolerance is standardized across the entire 1N4370A Series and confirmed in the "Tolerance and Type Number Designation" section of the datasheet.
Does 1N4372ARL support operation above 150°C?
Yes, the 1N4372ARL is fully specified for continuous operation from –65°C to +200°C, as stated in the "Maximum Ratings" table. Its hermetically sealed glass package and silicon-oxide passivated junction enable stable electrical performance across this full range, unlike standard Zeners limited to +150°C.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4372ARL at 1 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4372ARL is 50 µA when tested at VR = 1 V and TA = 25°C, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 166. This value is confirmed for the 1N4372A variant and applies identically to the 1N4372ARL tape-and-reel version.
Is 1N4372ARL compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
No-1N4372ARL is intended for wave or hand soldering only, with a maximum lead temperature of 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case. It is not qualified for lead-free reflow (typically >260°C peak), as its glass package and internal construction are not rated for those thermal profiles.
What packaging options are available for 1N4372ARL?
The 1N4372ARL is supplied in tape-and-reel format with 5000 units per reel, using 26 mm tape spacing (denoted by the "2" suffix in alternate part numbers like 1N4372ARL2). This format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly while preserving the DO-35 mechanical integrity.
