Product details
Overview
1N4566AE3/TR from Microsemi is a 6.4 V temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package, rated for 0.5 mA test current, ±0.005%/°C temperature coefficient, 200 Ω dynamic impedance, and operating across –65°C to +175°C. It delivers high-stability voltage referencing in precision analog instrumentation and military-grade power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4566AE3/TR datasheet, 1N4566AE3/TR pinout, 1N4566AE3/TR application, or 1N4566AE3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low TC (0.005%/°C), hermetic DO-7 packaging, MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification readiness, and TR-tape-and-reel availability for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's zero-temperature-coefficient Zener family optimized for minimal drift over wide temperature ranges. Its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage leverages stacked junction compensation to achieve TC as low as 0.0005%/°C - the 1N4566A variant targets 0.005%/°C with 0.5 mA test current and 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 25°C.
The DO-7 package features internal metallurgical bonding, tin-lead plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and cathode band polarity marking. It supports operation up to 500 mW at 25°C ambient but is optimized for ≤30 mW dissipation to maintain voltage-temperature stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4 V ±5% at IZT = 0.5 mA - stable reference point for calibration-critical circuits |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.005%/°C - enables <0.5 mV drift over 0–75°C operating range |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω @ IZT = 0.5 mA - ensures low AC error contribution in feedback networks |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA @ 3 V - confirms low leakage for high-impedance reference node integrity |
| Operating Temp. Range | –65°C to +175°C - supports aerospace, downhole, and extended-temperature industrial use |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) - hermetically sealed glass axial package with MIL-STD-750 qualified leads |
| Tape & Reel | EIA-296 compliant with "TR" suffix - enables SMT-compatible automated placement |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are tin-lead plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity requires banded end to be positive relative to unbanded end during forward-biased reference operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground reference node | Connected to circuit common; establishes return path for Zener bias current |
| Cathode (banded end) | Stable 6.4 V output node | Provides regulated voltage source; must be biased positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature-compensated Zener structure | Stacked-junction design achieves ±0.005%/°C TC - critical for metrology-grade stability |
| Hermetic DO-7 glass package | Sealed construction ensures long-term parameter retention in humid or corrosive environments |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path | Add JAN/JANTX/JANTXV prefix + "-1" suffix - enables direct use in defense/aerospace BOMs |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for handling precautions in production |
| Tight tolerance options | Custom tolerances (e.g., –1%, –2%) available via suffix - supports high-accuracy system calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4566A-1 (JANTXV) | Identical electrical specs; adds JANTXV military qualification and –1 suffix per MIL-PRF-19500/452 | Required for DoD-specified designs where radiation-hardened or screened lots are mandated | Select when full MIL-spec compliance and lot traceability are contractually required |
| LM399H | Higher initial accuracy (±0.005%), oven-controlled (69°C), 10x higher power draw, TO-99 metal can | Suitable for lab-grade instruments; not viable for size-/power-constrained embedded systems | Choose only if absolute long-term stability (<2 ppm/√kHr) outweighs board space and thermal management cost |
Compared with 1N4566AE3/TR, the 1N4566A-1 offers identical performance with mandatory military screening, while LM399H trades DO-7 simplicity for oven-controlled precision - making 1N4566AE3/TR optimal for ruggedized embedded references where size, power, and cost are constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for 1N4566AE3/TR?
The 1N4566AE3/TR is specified at a Zener test current (IZT) of 0.5 mA per Microsemi's REV B datasheet. This current level is used to measure its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage and 200 Ω dynamic impedance. Operating significantly above or below this value increases voltage drift and impedance variation, so biasing circuits should target 0.5 mA for optimal TC performance.
Does 1N4566AE3/TR have military qualification?
The base 1N4566AE3/TR is commercially qualified but designed to accept military prefixes and suffixes. Adding "JANTXV" prefix and "-1" suffix yields JANTXV1N4566AE3/TR - a fully MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualified version. The "E3" in the part number indicates Pb-free termination, and "TR" confirms EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging - both compatible with JANTXV upgrade paths.
What is the maximum power dissipation for 1N4566AE3/TR?
The 1N4566AE3/TR has a maximum DC power dissipation of 500 mW at lead temperature (TL) = 25°C. However, Microsemi specifies that optimum voltage-temperature stability is achieved at dissipation <30 mW - corresponding to ~0.5 mA × 6.4 V. Exceeding 30 mW introduces self-heating effects that degrade its ±0.005%/°C TC performance, especially in confined layouts.
How does the temperature coefficient of 1N4566AE3/TR compare to standard Zeners?
Standard 6.2–6.8 V Zeners typically exhibit TC values of ±0.05%/°C to ±0.1%/°C, causing >3 mV/°C drift. In contrast, the 1N4566AE3/TR achieves ±0.005%/°C - a 10× improvement - due to its compensated stacked-junction design. This reduces drift to <0.4 mV over 0–75°C, enabling use in Class A instrumentation where drift budgets are sub-millivolt.
Is 1N4566AE3/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - the "E3" suffix in 1N4566AE3/TR denotes Pb-free (lead-free) termination per JEDEC J-STD-609. Its glass DO-7 package withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, complying with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The tin-lead plating referenced in legacy docs applies only to non-E3 variants; E3 uses matte tin finish compatible with standard lead-free profiles.
