Product details
Overview
1N4482US/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, voidless glass MELF (D-5A) surface-mount Zener diode rated for 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation, with a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V at 5.0 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and maximum dynamic impedance of 60 Ω at IZT. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature and is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/406 at JANTXV level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4482US/TR datasheet, 1N4482US/TR pinout, 1N4482US/TR application, or 1N4482US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its military-grade hermetic glass construction, 51 V regulation stability over wide temperature and current ranges, low leakage (<0.25 µA at 40.8 V), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator in feedback loops and reference circuits where failure tolerance is critical. Its internal Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness under thermal cycling and shock, while triple-layer passivation enhances long-term reliability in harsh environments.
The 1N4482US/TR exhibits a Zener knee current (IZK) of 0.05 mA and corresponding knee impedance (ZZK) of 1100 Ω, enabling stable regulation even near breakdown threshold. Its thermal resistance junction-to-end cap is 20 °C/W, supporting operation up to 175 °C with appropriate PCB copper area for heat spreading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51.0 V at IZT = 5.0 mA - precise regulation point for mid-range high-voltage references |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TA = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact SMT layouts with adequate thermal relief |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω @ IZT - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.25 µA @ VR = 40.8 V - negligible current draw in standby, critical for low-power bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature avionics and downhole electronics |
| Tolerance | ±5% (no suffix) - standard industrial/military grade accuracy without tighter-tolerance cost premium |
| Package | D-5A MELF - cylindrical glass body with tungsten slugs, optimized for high-reliability reflow and hermetic sealing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4482US | Same electrical specs and package, but supplied in bulk (not tape-and-reel); no TR suffix | Requires manual placement or custom feeding; unsuitable for high-speed SMT lines | Select 1N4482US/TR when automated pick-and-place integration and EIA-481-B compliance are required |
| SMF51A (ON Semiconductor) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 51 V, 1.0 W, ±5%, but not MIL-qualified or hermetically sealed | Limited to commercial-grade industrial controls; lacks radiation hardness and extended temperature capability | Choose SMF51A only for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical applications where JANTXV screening is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4482US/TR, the bulk 1N4482US sacrifices SMT automation support for simpler logistics, while SMF51A trades military reliability and hermeticity for lower cost and smaller footprint-neither is a drop-in replacement due to package and qualification differences.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4482US/TR?
The 1N4482US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the absence of a tolerance suffix (e.g., 'C' for ±2% or 'D' for ±1%). This tolerance is specified at 25 °C case temperature and applies across the full operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C per MIL-PRF-19500/406 test conditions.
Is 1N4482US/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N4482US/TR is available in both RoHS-compliant and non-RoHS versions. RoHS compliance is indicated by the 'e3' suffix in the full part marking (e.g., 1N4482US/TR e3), and applies only to commercial-grade units. JANTXV-qualified units retain Sn/Pb terminations per MIL-PRF-19500/406 requirements and are not RoHS compliant.
What does the 'TR' suffix mean in 1N4482US/TR?
The 'TR' suffix in 1N4482US/TR denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standards, enabling compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment. It specifies carrier tape width, sprocket hole pitch, component orientation, and reel quantity-distinct from the bulk-packaged 1N4482US variant which lacks this SMT-ready format.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4482US/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4482US/TR is 0.25 µA when measured at a reverse voltage (VR) of 40.8 V (80% of nominal VZ) and TA = 25 °C. This value remains valid across the full junction temperature range and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/406 test method 3012.
Can 1N4482US/TR be used in place of 1N4482US?
Yes, 1N4482US/TR is electrically and thermally identical to 1N4482US-the only difference is packaging format. The 'TR' version is supplied on EIA-481-B tape-and-reel for automated assembly, while 1N4482US is bulk-packed. Both share identical Zener voltage, power rating, hermetic glass construction, and JANTXV qualification.
