Product details
Overview
1N4465CUS/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, voidless glass MELF surface-mount Zener diode rated for 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 10.0 V at 25 mA test current, ±2% tolerance (indicated by 'C' suffix), and maximum dynamic impedance of 5 Ω at IZT. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature and is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/406 JANTXV level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4465CUS/TR datasheet, 1N4465CUS/TR pinout, 1N4465CUS/TR application, or 1N4465CUS/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified military-grade Zener specifications, thermal derating behavior, cathode-band polarity marking, tape-and-reel packaging (TR), and direct alternatives with documented voltage/tolerance/package alignment - all critical for radiation-hardened analog reference design and legacy avionics BOM sustainment.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision silicon Zener junction optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation under wide temperature and current variation. Its voidless glass/MELF construction with internal Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and low leakage (<0.25 µA at 8.0 V) even after thermal cycling and humidity exposure.
It exhibits a typical temperature coefficient near zero at 10 V (per Figure 1), enabling minimal drift in reference applications. Thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap is 20 °C/W, and its 8.3 ms non-repetitive surge rating supports transient overvoltage clamping in DC-DC converter feedback paths without degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.0 V ±2% at 25 mA - defines precise regulation setpoint for feedback networks and voltage references. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TA = 25 °C - enables compact, high-density layout without forced cooling in sealed enclosures. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω @ IZT = 25 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation under load transients. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including engine bays and space-grade electronics. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 µA @ VR = 8.0 V - guarantees negligible error current in high-impedance reference divider legs. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.0 V @ 200 mA - allows use as clamp diode in bidirectional protection schemes without excessive forward drop. |
| Package Type | D-5A MELF (glass, hermetic, voidless) - provides superior moisture resistance and long-term parameter stability vs. plastic SMD packages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-5A MELF (cylindrical glass body, cathode indicated by single black band; no discrete pins - terminals are axial end caps).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection in shunt regulator | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; carries full load current during regulation. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input supply via series resistor; maintains stable 10.0 V relative to anode under reverse bias. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates internal delamination risk and moisture ingress, ensuring >20-year parametric stability in sealed modules. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface contamination-induced leakage and enhances reliability in high-humidity or salt-fog environments. |
| JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/406 | Validated screening includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing for mission-critical systems. |
| Category I internal metallurgical bond | Guarantees mechanical integrity of chip-to-lead interface under shock/vibration up to 100 g peak acceleration. |
| RoHS-compliant option (commercial only) | Tin matte finish available for lead-free assembly compatibility without compromising solder joint reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4465US | Same 10.0 V ±5% (no suffix), identical D-5A MELF package and JANTXV qualification. | Looser tolerance acceptable where cost-sensitive or calibration-adjustable designs allow post-assembly trimming. | Select when ±5% initial accuracy suffices and tighter tolerance adds no system benefit. |
| 1N4740A | 10 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole package, commercial grade only (no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification). | Limited to non-military industrial controls; lacks radiation hardness, hermeticity, and extended temperature capability. | Choose only for cost-driven, non-safety-critical prototypes where surface-mount constraint is absent. |
Compared with 1N4465CUS/TR, 1N4465US trades ±2% tolerance for broader availability and lower unit cost while retaining identical military qualification and thermal performance; 1N4740A offers basic 10 V regulation but sacrifices hermetic reliability, surge capability, and high-temperature operation required in certified systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4465CUS/TR?
The 1N4465CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 10.0 V with a tolerance of ±2%, as indicated by the 'C' suffix in the part number. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-trim screening and is maintained across the full –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, making it suitable for precision reference applications where calibration margin is constrained.
Is the 1N4465CUS/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N4465CUS/TR is not RoHS compliant; the 'CUS' suffix denotes a commercial-grade version with Sn/Pb termination and non-RoHS construction. RoHS-compliant variants (e3 marking) are available only in commercial-grade versions without military qualification - the 1N4465CUS/TR itself retains traditional tin-lead plating for optimal solder joint reliability in high-reliability reflow profiles.
What does the 'TR' suffix mean in 1N4465CUS/TR?
The 'TR' suffix in 1N4465CUS/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard, with 2,000 units per reel. This format supports automated SMT placement and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment used in high-mix aerospace PCB assembly lines.
Can the 1N4465CUS/TR replace the 1N4465US in a JANTXV-designated board?
Yes - the 1N4465CUS/TR is fully compatible with 1N4465US in JANTXV-qualified designs, sharing identical electrical specs, D-5A MELF package dimensions, and MIL-PRF-19500/406 qualification level. The only difference is the tighter ±2% tolerance; no PCB or layout changes are required for substitution.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4465CUS/TR?
The 1N4465CUS/TR has a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) rating of 1.4 A for an 8.3 ms square wave pulse, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This enables transient suppression in power supply rails without degradation, provided average power remains within the 1.5 W steady-state limit.
