Product details
Overview
1N4614-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 1.8 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 1200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog references and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4614-1/TR datasheet, 1N4614-1/TR pinout, 1N4614-1/TR application, or 1N4614-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mil-qualified reliability data, thermal derating behavior, noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and RoHS-compliant commercial availability - all critical for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability industrial designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, requiring forward bias of the anode relative to the banded cathode for regulation. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures stable junction characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range and supports MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification up to JANS level.
Thermal resistance is 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (at 10 mm lead length) and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board. Power dissipation linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C ambient to zero at 175 °C, with maximum reverse leakage of 3.5 µA at 1.0 V and 120 mA maximum Zener current.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4614UR-1 | Same electrical specs, DO-213AA surface-mount package instead of DO-35 axial | Required for automated SMT assembly; lacks axial mounting flexibility | Select when board space constraints or reflow-only processes prohibit through-hole components |
| 1N4099-1 | 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage, same DO-35 package and MIL-qualification level | Used where higher reference voltage is needed; not interchangeable due to voltage mismatch | Choose only when system design requires 6.8 V regulation with identical reliability and thermal profile |
Compared with 1N4614-1/TR, the 1N4614UR-1 offers identical regulation performance in a surface-mount format ideal for high-density layouts, while 1N4099-1 serves distinct voltage requirements within the same qualified family - neither is a drop-in replacement, but both share the same metallurgical bond, noise, and qualification pedigree.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4614-1/TR?
The 1N4614-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 1.8 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with 250 mA test current.
Is 1N4614-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4614-1/TR is RoHS compliant (designated by the "e3" suffix in nomenclature), but RoHS compliance is available only on commercial-grade versions - not on JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS qualified variants. The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, separate from RoHS status.
What is the maximum Zener current for 1N4614-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N4614-1/TR is 120.0 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value corresponds to the current at which the device reaches its rated 500 mW power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, before thermal derating begins.
Does 1N4614-1/TR require heatsinking in typical applications?
No, 1N4614-1/TR does not require external heatsinking in typical applications because its 500 mW power rating is managed via junction-to-lead thermal resistance (250 °C/W) with standard 10 mm lead length. Heatsinking is unnecessary unless operating continuously near full power at elevated ambient temperatures above 50 °C.
How is polarity marked on 1N4614-1/TR?
Polarity on 1N4614-1/TR is marked by a single black cathode band on the glass body - the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node for proper Zener regulation. The non-banded end is the anode, and the diode conducts in reverse bias during regulation.
