Product details
Overview
1N458/TR from Microsemi is a 6.4 V temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-7 (DO-204AA) glass axial-leaded package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with ±5% nominal voltage tolerance, 0.0005%/°C temperature coefficient, and 25 Ω dynamic impedance at 4.0 mA test current. It delivers ultra-stable voltage reference performance in precision instrumentation and military-grade analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N458/TR datasheet, 1N458/TR pinout, 1N458/TR application, or 1N458/TR equivalent, this part supports high-reliability voltage referencing where minimal drift over -65°C to +175°C operating range, low ESD sensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and hermetic glass sealing are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4565–1N4584A-1 series of zero-temperature-coefficient Zener diodes, engineered using internal metallurgical bonding to achieve ultra-low TC down to 0.0005%/°C. Its 6.4 V nominal Zener voltage is stabilized across wide temperature ranges via compensated junction design.
It operates at a specified Zener test current of 4.0 mA, yielding 25 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and maintains ≤2.0 µA reverse leakage at 3 V. The DO-7 package supports axial-leaded mounting with tin-lead plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.

Pinout & Package
DO-7 (DO-204AA) hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are tin-lead plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity: banded end is anode (positive) when operated as reference diode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Reference output terminal | Connected to positive rail in shunt reference configuration; defines 6.4 V potential relative to cathode |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Reference return terminal | Connected to system ground or regulated node; completes current path through external resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4574A/TR | Zener test current = 1.0 mA; dynamic impedance = 100 Ω; same 0.0005%/°C TC and DO-7 package | Better suited for low-power biasing where <1 mA supply current is constrained | Select 1N4574A/TR when system power budget limits reference current to ≤1 mA |
| 1N4579A/TR | Zener test current = 2.0 mA; dynamic impedance = 50 Ω; identical TC and voltage rating | Optimized for medium-current references requiring lower impedance than 1N458/TR but higher than 1N4574A/TR | Choose 1N4579A/TR for balanced trade-off between impedance (50 Ω), power (12.8 mW), and thermal stability |
Compared with 1N4574A/TR and 1N4579A/TR, the 1N458/TR achieves lowest dynamic impedance (25 Ω) at highest test current (4.0 mA), making it ideal for high-accuracy, low-noise reference nodes where board-level power dissipation permits 25.6 mW operation.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current specification for 1N458/TR?
The 1N458/TR is characterized at a Zener test current (IZT) of 4.0 mA, which is the recommended operating point to achieve its specified 25 Ω dynamic impedance and 0.0005%/°C temperature coefficient. Operating significantly above or below this current increases impedance and degrades TC performance, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics Table on page 2 of the Microsemi datasheet.
Does 1N458/TR meet military specifications?
The base 1N458/TR is not inherently qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/452, but Microsemi offers fully screened versions: adding the JANTXV prefix and "-1" suffix (e.g., JANTXV1N458/TR-1) yields a device qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/452 with enhanced screening, lot traceability, and extended temperature validation - all documented in the same datasheet revision.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N458/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N458/TR denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated placement despite the DO-7 axial-leaded form factor. This packaging option is explicitly called out in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the Microsemi datasheet and does not alter electrical specifications or reliability ratings.
How is polarity marked on the 1N458/TR package?
The 1N458/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body: the banded end is the anode (positive terminal) when used as a shunt reference diode, and the unbanded end is the cathode (negative/return terminal). This polarity convention is defined in the "POLARITY" section of the datasheet and must be observed to avoid reverse-bias damage during circuit operation.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for 1N458/TR?
The 1N458/TR has a maximum DC power dissipation of 500 mW at lead temperature (TL) of 25°C. However, the datasheet notes that optimum voltage-temperature stability occurs at power levels below 30 mW - i.e., when biased near its 4.0 mA IZT - making thermal design critical for precision applications where long-term drift must remain within specification.
