Product details
Overview
1N4625-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 5.1 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 5% voltage tolerance, 1500 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and 3.0 µA max reverse leakage at 3.8 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference in military-grade power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4625-1/TR datasheet, 1N4625-1/TR pinout, 1N4625-1/TR application, or 1N4625-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetically sealed axial-leaded construction, metallurgical bond reliability, low noise density (2 µV/√Hz), and linear derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 5.1 V regulation across wide current (250 mA IZT) and temperature (-65 to +175 °C) ranges. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The 1N4625-1/TR exhibits a bipolar temperature coefficient of -0.045/+0.030 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog references. Its 1500 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT and 3.0 µA IR @ VR = 3.8 V define regulation accuracy and leakage-limited low-power operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4625US-1 | Same electrical specs, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package instead of axial DO-35 | 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 |
| 1N4733A | 5.1 V, 1 W rating, 10% tolerance, TO-92 plastic package, no military qualification | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification and hermetic seal; higher noise (10 µV/√Hz) and wider tolerance reduce precision | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial applications where reliability and noise are secondary |
Compared with 1N4625US-1 and 1N4733A, the 1N4625-1/TR uniquely combines JANTXV reliability, hermetic glass packaging, and 2 µV/√Hz noise-making it irreplaceable in aerospace reference chains where parameter stability under thermal/radiation stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4625-1/TR?
The 1N4625-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 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. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with the device in thermal equilibrium and tested at IZT = 250 mA.
Is the 1N4625-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4625-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full part number variant (e.g., 1N4625-1e3/TR). Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions use annealed matte-tin plating and are available for commercial-grade units only-not for JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS reliability levels.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4625-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N4625-1/TR is 3.0 µA at VR = 3.8 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value is measured at 25 °C and defines the upper bound of parasitic current in high-impedance reference networks.
Does the 1N4625-1/TR require special ESD handling?
No, the 1N4625-1/TR is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, as stated in the Applications/Benefits section. Its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic glass package eliminate the need for ESD-safe workstations or wrist straps during standard handling and soldering.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for the 1N4625-1/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for the 1N4625-1/TR is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as listed in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value guides heatsinking design when operating near maximum power dissipation.
