Product details
Overview
1N4622-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 3.9 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 250 mA Zener test current, 1650 Ω dynamic impedance, and 2.5 µA max reverse leakage at 2.5 V for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4622-1/TR datasheet, 1N4622-1/TR pinout, 1N4622-1/TR application, or 1N4622-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military-grade qualification context, thermal derating behavior, noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and direct alternatives for aerospace, defense, and industrial power-supply reference designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering stable 3.9 V regulation across 1–250 mA current range and -65°C to +175°C junction temperature. Its metallurgical bond ensures low long-term drift and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Thermal resistance is 250°C/W junction-to-lead (at 10 mm lead length) and 300°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4; power derates linearly from 500 mW at 25°C to zero at 175°C. Noise density is specified at 1 µV/√Hz - among the lowest in the 1N46xx series for sub-4 V devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 3.9 V ±5% at 250 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ 25°C - supports robust biasing in discrete regulator and clamp circuits |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1650 Ω @ 250 mA - indicates moderate AC impedance affecting regulation ripple rejection |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 2.5 µA max @ 2.5 V - ensures low standby current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise voltage references in precision instrumentation front-ends |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | -0.060 %/°C - negative TC allows compensation pairing with positive-TC components |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - supports operation in extended-environment avionics and downhole electronics |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode identified by single black band; weight ≈ 0.2 g; body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm, length 3.56–5.08 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; used for forward-bias protection or clamping |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; reverse-biased to maintain 3.9 V reference; polarity critical for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical bond construction | Enables JANS-level reliability and <1000 FIT failure rate in high-vibration, high-radiation environments |
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification | Validated screening for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS levels - required for DoD and NASA flight hardware |
| Low noise density | 1 µV/√Hz at 3.9 V - superior to standard 1N47xx series, enabling use in low-noise analog references |
| Hermetic glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and parametric shift over 20+ year field life in sealed enclosures |
| ESD immunity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level design |
Applications
| Aerospace Reference Supply | Defense System Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 3.9 V reference for ADC drivers and op-amp offset calibration in satellite telemetry modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt voltage reference establishing DC operating point for signal chain components. Use Value: -0.060 %/°C tempco enables predictable drift compensation; 1 µV/√Hz noise avoids degrading ENOB in 16-bit converters. | Use Scenario: Regulating bias voltage for RF power amplifier stages in tactical radios operating from 28 V vehicle supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamp protecting amplifier input from transients while setting quiescent bias. Use Value: 500 mW rating sustains 250 mA test current under load; DO-35 axial leads allow through-hole mounting on ruggedized PCBs. |
| Industrial Sensor Excitation | Nuclear Instrumentation |
Use Scenario: Supplying excitation voltage to strain-gauge bridges in oilfield pressure transducers exposed to -40°C to +125°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Temperature-stable shunt regulator maintaining bridge excitation accuracy across wide thermal range. Use Value: -65°C to +175°C junction rating exceeds system requirements; metallurgical bond prevents parametric drift after thermal cycling. | Use Scenario: Generating calibrated reference in radiation-monitoring dosimeters deployed near reactor cores. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened Zener reference source for pulse-height analysis circuitry. Use Value: Inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 eliminates need for shielding or derating; JANS qualification validates TID tolerance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4730A | 3.9 V ±5%, 1 W, DO-41 package, 500 Ω ZZT, no military qualification | Higher power but lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening and radiation hardness | Select when commercial-grade cost sensitivity outweighs reliability and environmental requirements |
| 1N5227B | 3.6 V ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35, 1700 Ω ZZT, JANTX available | 0.3 V lower VZ; identical package and qualification level but higher impedance | Select when 3.6 V reference suffices and tighter VZ tolerance is not required |
Compared with 1N4622-1/TR, 1N4730A offers higher power but no radiation hardness or MIL qualification, while 1N5227B matches package and reliability level but trades 3.9 V accuracy for slightly higher dynamic impedance - both require revalidation of reference stability and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4622-1/TR?
The 1N4622-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 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 T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies at 250 mA test current and 25°C ambient temperature.
Is 1N4622-1/TR qualified to JANS level?
No - the 1N4622-1/TR is qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, as stated in the DESCRIPTION section on page 1. JANS qualification requires additional screening and is available only on non-TR variants (e.g., 1N4622-1 without suffix); the "TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging and does not affect qualification level.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4622-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4622-1/TR is 2.5 µA at 2.5 V reverse voltage, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value is measured at 25°C and reflects the device's low-leakage performance critical for high-impedance reference nodes.
Does 1N4622-1/TR have RoHS compliance?
Yes - the "e3" suffix in the full part number (1N4622-1/TR e3) indicates RoHS compliance, as defined in the PART NOMENCLATURE section on page 2. RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating is applied to commercial-grade units only; JANTX units may be non-RoHS unless explicitly ordered with e3.
What is the thermal resistance of 1N4622-1/TR?
The 1N4622-1/TR has a thermal resistance of 250°C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) at 10 mm lead length and 300°C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) on FR4 board with specified copper layout, per MAXIMUM RATINGS table on page 1. Derating begins at 50°C lead temperature.
