Product details
Overview
1N4626-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 5.6 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 5.0 µA max reverse current at 4.0 V, 1400 Ω max dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and ±0.020%/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation in military power supplies and analog reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4626-1/TR datasheet, 1N4626-1/TR pinout, 1N4626-1/TR application, or 1N4626-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (5%), noise density (4 µV/√Hz), junction temperature range (–65°C to +175°C), thermal resistance (250°C/W junction-to-lead), and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable long-term voltage performance under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
It delivers 5.6 V regulation at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibits low noise density (4 µV/√Hz), and maintains tight dynamic impedance (1400 Ω) - enabling use in low-drift analog references where stability across –65°C to +175°C is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V at 250 mA - precise regulation point for low-voltage reference rails. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole designs with derating above 50°C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1400 Ω max at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 5.0 µA max at 4.0 V - guarantees low leakage before breakdown onset. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | –0.020%/°C to +0.040%/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature systems. |
| Noise Density (ND) | 4 µV/√Hz - suitable for low-noise analog references and sensor excitation circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4626US | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads. | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair. | Select when automated assembly and board space reduction are prioritized over manual serviceability. |
| 1N4626UR-1 | Identical Zener parameters but in tabbed DO-216 package; RoHS-compliant only. | Limited to commercial-grade use; lacks MIL-qualified screening (JAN/JANTXV/JANS levels). | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where military reliability is not mandated. |
Compared with 1N4626-1/TR, the 1N4626US offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical robustness and hand-soldering compatibility, while the 1N4626UR-1 reduces cost and meets RoHS but forfeits extended temperature validation and radiation hardness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N4626-1/TR?
The 1N4626-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by its JEDEC registration and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under standard test conditions at 25°C with 250 mA Zener test current (IZT). The 1N4626-1/TR does not carry tighter tolerance suffixes (e.g., 'C' for 2% or 'D' for 1%) in its nomenclature.
Is the 1N4626-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4626-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full part number variant (e.g., 1N4626-1e3/TR). Per the datasheet, RoHS compliance applies to commercial-grade versions only; MIL-qualified variants (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS) retain leaded terminations. The 1N4626-1/TR supplied by Aetrix Electronics carries the e3 designation unless otherwise specified.
What is the maximum Zener test current (IZT) for the 1N4626-1/TR?
The maximum Zener test current (IZT) for the 1N4626-1/TR is 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet. This current defines the operating point at which VZ = 5.6 V, ZZT = 1400 Ω max, and ND = 4 µV/√Hz are measured. Operation beyond 250 mA requires adherence to the 500 mW power derating curve shown in Figure 2.
Does the 1N4626-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N4626-1/TR is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/435 provide proven total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance suitable for low-earth orbit and avionics applications. Radiation test data is available upon request from Microchip's legacy Microsemi product support.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for the 1N4626-1/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for the 1N4626-1/TR is 250°C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the package body, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value assumes standard mounting on FR4 with 4 mm² copper pads and is critical for calculating safe operating current at elevated ambient temperatures.
