Product details
Overview
1N4566E3/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 (±0.32 mV/°C), 200 Ω dynamic impedance, and operation from –65 °C to +175 °C. It delivers high-stability voltage reference for precision analog instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4566E3/TR datasheet, 1N4566E3/TR pinout, 1N4566E3/TR application, or 1N4566E3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low TC, hermetic glass packaging, MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification readiness, and TR tape-and-reel delivery format.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's zero-temperature-coefficient Zener family, using internal metallurgical bonding to achieve stable 6.4 V reference output across wide temperature extremes. Its 0.5 mA Zener test current and 200 Ω dynamic impedance are optimized for low-power, high-accuracy biasing and calibration circuits.
The 1N4566E3/TR exhibits ±0.005 %/°C TC over 0 °C to +75 °C, with reverse leakage ≤2.0 µA at 3 V and DC power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C lead temperature. Its cathode band marking and tin-lead plated leads comply with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 6.4 V ±5% nominal - provides stable reference point for analog signal conditioning and ADC/DAC biasing |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±0.005 %/°C (±0.32 mV/°C) - ensures minimal drift over 0 °C to +75 °C operating range |
| Zener Test Current | 0.5 mA - defines operating point where specified VZ and TC are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Impedance | 200 Ω @ IZT - limits AC ripple coupling into reference node in precision regulators |
| Max Reverse Current | ≤2.0 µA @ 3 V - enables low-error operation in high-impedance reference divider networks |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports aerospace, downhole, and military systems requiring extreme thermal resilience |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial - hermetically sealed, ESD-insensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 |
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 unmarked end during forward-biased reference use.
| 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 held at higher potential than anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature compensation | ±0.005 %/°C TC enables <±1 mV total drift over 0–75 °C in calibrated systems |
| Hermetic glass construction | DO-7 package ensures long-term parameter stability and immunity to humidity-induced degradation |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 readiness | Add JAN/JANTX/JANTXV prefix + "-1" suffix for qualified versions - supports defense/aerospace BOMs |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | "TR" suffix indicates EIA-296 compliant reel - enables automated SMT-compatible placement despite axial form factor |
| ESD insensitivity | Complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for handling precautions in production environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4566A | Same 6.4 V / 0.5 mA / ±0.005 %/°C spec, but without TR tape-and-reel packaging | Used in manual assembly or non-automated prototyping; lacks EIA-296 compliance | Select 1N4566A only when reel packaging is unnecessary and MIL-PRF-19500 qualification is not required |
| 1N4567 | Identical DO-7 package and 0.5 mA IZT, but tighter ±0.002 %/°C TC (±0.13 mV/°C) | Suitable for ultra-high-stability metrology systems where sub-mV drift is critical | Choose 1N4567 when TC budget demands <0.5 mV total drift over 0–75 °C, accepting same power and impedance trade-offs |
Compared with 1N4566E3/TR, 1N4566A omits tape-and-reel delivery and military suffix support, while 1N4567 improves TC by 2.5× at identical test current-enabling higher accuracy in calibration-critical systems without changing layout or bias network.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4566E3/TR?
The 1N4566E3/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.4 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered electrical characteristics table. Tighter tolerances (e.g., ±1%, ±2%) are available via custom ordering with hyphenated suffixes like "-1%", but the base 1N4566E3/TR part adheres to the ±5% specification at 0.5 mA test current and 25 °C.
Does 1N4566E3/TR require external current limiting?
Yes, the 1N4566E3/TR must be operated with a series current-limiting resistor to maintain its Zener test current at 0.5 mA. Without proper biasing, voltage regulation degrades due to insufficient junction conduction or thermal runaway. The resistor value is calculated based on supply voltage, desired 6.4 V output, and 0.5 mA target current - typical designs use 1–10 kΩ depending on system voltage rails.
Is 1N4566E3/TR suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the 1N4566E3/TR uses a DO-7 (DO-204AA) axial-leaded glass package and is not a surface-mount device. However, its "TR" suffix indicates EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging, enabling automated pick-and-place handling in through-hole insertion lines - it is not compatible with reflow soldering or SMT processes.
Can 1N4566E3/TR be used in radiation-prone environments?
The base 1N4566E3/TR is not radiation-hardened. For such applications, Microsemi offers RH-prefixed variants (e.g., RH4566A) designed to meet specific TID and SEE requirements. The standard 1N4566E3/TR should only be deployed in non-radiation environments unless validated per mission-specific radiation testing protocols.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for 1N4566E3/TR?
The 1N4566E3/TR is rated for 500 mW DC power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) of 25 °C. However, for optimal voltage-temperature stability, Microsemi specifies operation below 30 mW - achieved by biasing at its 0.5 mA test current. Exceeding 30 mW increases self-heating and compromises the ±0.005 %/°C TC performance.
