Product details
Overview
1N4575AE3 from Microsemi is a 6.4 V temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package, rated for 2.0 mA test current, ±0.01%/°C temperature coefficient, 50 Ω dynamic impedance, and operating across –65°C to +175°C. It delivers stable voltage reference in precision instrumentation and military-grade analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4575AE3 datasheet, 1N4575AE3 pinout, 1N4575AE3 application, or 1N4575AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, low TC stability over wide temperature range, hermetic DO-7 packaging, and MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification readiness via prefix/suffix options.
Technical Context
The 1N4575AE3 uses internal metallurgical bonding to achieve tight thermal coupling between complementary Zener and forward-biased junctions, enabling temperature compensation down to ±0.01%/°C. Its 6.4 V nominal voltage aligns with silicon bandgap reference fundamentals, minimizing curvature error across –55°C to +100°C.
Rated at 2.0 mA Zener test current (IZT), it operates below 30 mW to maintain optimal voltage-temperature stability. The device is polarity-sensitive-cathode band must be biased negative-and exhibits <2.0 µA reverse leakage at 3 V, supporting low-power reference designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.4 V ±5% at 2.0 mA - defines primary reference level for calibration and feedback loops |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.01%/°C - ensures ≤0.77 mV/°C drift over operating range, critical for high-stability analog systems |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 2.0 mA - specified bias point for guaranteed VZ and TC performance; power dissipation <30 mW |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 50 Ω at IZT - limits output voltage variation under load transients in regulated supplies |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 2.0 µA at 3 V - confirms low leakage for high-impedance reference node integrity |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - supports aerospace, downhole, and extended industrial environments |
| Package | DO-7 (DO-204AA) - hermetically sealed glass axial package with tin-lead leads per MIL-STD-750 |
Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) hermetically sealed glass package with axial leads; cathode identified by color band. Leads are tin-lead plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Weight: 0.2 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground reference node | Connected to circuit common; establishes reference potential baseline |
| Cathode (banded end) | Positive reference output | Biased positive relative to anode; delivers stable 6.4 V output under reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature-compensated Zener structure | Internal metallurgical bond enables ±0.01%/°C TC - reduces calibration drift in wide-temperature deployments |
| Hermetic DO-7 glass package | Sealed construction ensures long-term parameter stability and resistance to humidity/moisture ingress |
| MIL-PRF-19500/452 qualification path | Add JAN/JANTX/JANTXV prefix + "-1" suffix (e.g., JANTX1N4575A-1) for screened military-grade versions |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and assembly |
| Flexible mounting | Axial-leaded DO-7 allows through-hole PCB, socket, or chassis mount - supports legacy and ruggedized designs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4575A | Same electrical specs but lacks E3 suffix - no specified lead finish compliance (e.g., RoHS exemption status) | Acceptable where commercial-grade lead plating suffices; not suitable for programs requiring MIL-STD-750-compliant tin-lead finish | Select 1N4575AE3 when full MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability and traceable finish are required |
| 1N4574AE3 | Identical DO-7 package and finish, but 1.0 mA IZT and ±0.0005%/°C TC - tighter TC, lower bias current | Better for ultra-low-drift applications below 1 mA bias; requires redesign of bias network impedance | Choose 1N4574AE3 only if system-level TC budget demands <0.001%/°C and bias current can be reduced to 1.0 mA |
Compared with 1N4575AE3, the 1N4575A omits documented lead finish compliance, while the 1N4574AE3 trades higher TC tolerance for ultra-low drift at halved test current - neither is pin-compatible drop-in; both require validation of bias network and thermal layout.

The 1N4575AE3 belongs to Microsemi's legacy 1N4565–1N4584A-1 series of temperature-compensated Zener references, engineered for minimal voltage drift in mission-critical analog systems where long-term stability outweighs cost sensitivity.
FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4575AE3?
The 1N4575AE3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.4 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 2.0 mA test current and 25°C. This tolerance is inherent to the base part number; tighter tolerances (e.g., ±1%) require suffixes like "-1%" added to the order code, per Microsemi's datasheet note 1.
Is the 1N4575AE3 suitable for military applications?
Yes - the 1N4575AE3 is built on the MIL-PRF-19500/452-qualified 1N4565–1N4584A-1 platform. While the base 1N4575AE3 is commercial-grade, adding prefixes such as JANTX or JANTXV plus the "-1" suffix (e.g., JANTX1N4575AE3-1) yields fully screened military versions meeting environmental and reliability requirements.
What does the "E3" suffix indicate in 1N4575AE3?
The "E3" suffix on 1N4575AE3 specifies compliance with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for tin-lead plated leads - confirming solderability, finish thickness, and plating adhesion per military standards. It distinguishes this variant from the non-suffixed 1N4575A, which lacks documented finish compliance.
Can the 1N4575AE3 operate at 175°C continuously?
Yes - the 1N4575AE3 is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +175°C per its maximum ratings table. However, for optimal voltage-temperature stability, Microsemi recommends limiting power dissipation to <30 mW, which typically requires derating IZT at elevated temperatures per thermal resistance guidelines in the datasheet.
How does the 1N4575AE3 differ from the 1N4575A?
The 1N4575AE3 and 1N4575A share identical electrical parameters and DO-7 packaging, but the E3 suffix certifies MIL-STD-750 Method 2026-compliant tin-lead plating. This ensures verified solderability and finish reliability - critical for high-assurance programs where lead finish traceability and process control are mandated.
