Product details
Overview
1N4624-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 4.7 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 5.0 µA max reverse current at 3.0 V, 1550 Ω max dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and ±1% voltage tolerance option available. It serves as a precision voltage reference in military-grade power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4624-1/TR datasheet, 1N4624-1/TR pinout, 1N4624-1/TR application, or 1N4624-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mil-spec qualification status, thermal derating behavior, noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and RoHS-compliant commercial availability - all critical for high-reliability analog design and obsolescence-sensitive programs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 4.7 V output across wide current (250 mA IZT) and temperature (-65°C to +175°C) ranges. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures low leakage (≤3.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V) and minimal capacitance, supporting low-noise analog references.
It exhibits a temperature coefficient of -0.050 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in regulated supplies. The DO-35 package provides hermetic sealing and meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements, making it suitable for aerospace and defense systems requiring long-term stability under thermal cycling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4624US-1 | Same electrical specs; DO-213AA surface-mount package instead of DO-35 axial | Requires SMT reflow process; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is used |
| 1N4624-1e3 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical performance; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating vs. tin-lead | Required for EU/ROHS-regulated deployments; may require requalification for legacy tin-lead solder processes | Select for new designs targeting global compliance without lead exemption |
Compared with 1N4624-1/TR, the 1N4624US-1 offers identical regulation but demands SMT layout changes, while the 1N4624-1e3 maintains full mechanical compatibility with RoHS-compliant finish - enabling drop-in replacement only when solder chemistry and qualification allow.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4624-1/TR?
The standard 1N4624-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V with ±5% tolerance per JEDEC registration. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available under different suffixes (e.g., 1N4624C-1/TR), but the base 1N4624-1/TR variant is specified at ±5%. This tolerance applies at 25°C with the device in thermal equilibrium and tested at 250 mA Zener current.
Is 1N4624-1/TR qualified to JANS level?
No, the 1N4624-1/TR is qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. JANS qualification requires additional screening and testing beyond JANTXV and is available only on special-order variants (e.g., 1N4624-1JANS). The TR-suffixed commercial version retains JANTXV qualification but not JANS-level screening.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for 1N4624-1/TR?
The 1N4624-1/TR has a maximum reverse current (IR) of 3.0 µA at VR = 3.0 V, measured at 25°C. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power reference designs and ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance feedback networks used with op-amps or ADC references.
Can 1N4624-1/TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4624-1/TR uses the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) package and is intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the 1N4624US-1 in DO-213AA package. Substituting 1N4624-1/TR into an SMT footprint would require mechanical adaptation and is not recommended.
Does 1N4624-1/TR meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4624-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant form as 1N4624-1e3/TR, featuring annealed matte-tin plating. The base 1N4624-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating; RoHS compliance requires explicit ordering of the "e3" suffix variant, which is documented in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet revision.
