Product details
Overview
1N4627-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 6.2 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±1% voltage tolerance, 5 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), and +0.050%/°C temperature coefficient. It regulates voltage in precision reference circuits across military avionics power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4627-1 datasheet, 1N4627-1 pinout, 1N4627-1 application, or 1N4627-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, mil-grade reliability context, DO-35 terminal polarity, noise density (5 µV/√Hz), and direct alternatives for high-reliability voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering stable 6.2 V regulation at IZT = 250 mA - a test current that ensures low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 1200 Ω) and minimal voltage drift over temperature. Its metallurgical bond construction enables hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It exhibits low noise density (5 µV/√Hz), tight ±1% VZ tolerance, and a positive temperature coefficient (+0.050%/°C), making it suitable for low-drift references where thermal stability and ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750/1020) are critical - unlike lower-voltage variants with negative αVZ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V at 250 mA test current - defines precise regulation point for reference design |
| Power Rating | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports stable operation in compact axial-leaded layouts with 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1200 Ω at 250 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Noise Density (ND) | 5 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise analog references in instrumentation and ADC biasing |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.050%/°C - provides predictable, low-drift voltage shift over -65 to +175 °C operating range |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 µA at 5.0 V - confirms sharp knee behavior and low standby power loss |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 61.0 mA - sets safe continuous operating limit before thermal runaway at rated power |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode indicated by color band - device operated with banded end positive for Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; reverse voltage applied here relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Zener regulation output / voltage reference node | Banded end; supplies regulated 6.2 V to load when reverse biased - must be held at higher potential than anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification (JANS level) | Validated for space-grade and nuclear-hardened systems requiring zero failure-in-time (FIT) assurance |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal cycling and mechanical shock - critical for aerospace mounting |
| ±1% Zener voltage tolerance (D suffix) | Reduces calibration overhead in precision references - no post-manufacture trimming needed for 6.2 V target |
| Low 5 µV/√Hz noise density | Enables use in high-resolution analog front-ends without external filtering - directly supports 16-bit+ ADC references |
| Non-ESD-sensitive (MIL-STD-750/1020) | Withstands handling without protection circuitry - simplifies assembly in cleanroom and field-repair environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4627UR-1 | Same 6.2 V, ±1%, DO-213AA surface-mount package - no axial leads, 0.050" pitch, 1.3 mm body diameter | Used where PCB real estate is constrained and reflow soldering replaces through-hole assembly | Select when automated SMT placement required and thermal mass constraints allow lower peak power derating |
| 1N4627TR | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but supplied in EIA-296 tape-and-reel format (TR suffix) | Required for high-volume pick-and-place manufacturing - not for manual prototyping or repair | Choose for production runs >5k units where feeder compatibility and traceability outweigh hand-soldering convenience |
Compared with 1N4627-1, the 1N4627UR-1 enables miniaturized layouts but sacrifices lead-length thermal dissipation margin, while 1N4627TR maintains identical performance with optimized logistics for automated assembly - neither is pin-compatible in the mechanical sense, as all are discrete two-terminal devices with defined anode/cathode polarity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4627-1?
The 1N4627-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "D" suffix in its full nomenclature per MIL-PRF-19500/435. This tolerance is measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, ensuring tight regulation without post-production trimming in precision reference designs.
Is 1N4627-1 qualified for space applications?
Yes, the 1N4627-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, which includes screening for radiation hardness, thermal cycling, and mechanical shock - validated in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It is routinely used in satellite power telemetry and onboard computer reference circuits.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N4627-1?
The maximum Zener current for 1N4627-1 is 61.0 mA at 25 °C, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 6.2 V nominal voltage. Operation above this current requires linear derating starting at 50 °C case temperature, reaching zero at 175 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does 1N4627-1 have low-noise performance?
Yes, the 1N4627-1 specifies a noise density of 5 µV/√Hz at 250 mA test current and 25 °C, measured in the 1–3 kHz band. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and supports use in low-noise analog signal chains such as medical sensor front-ends and precision data acquisition.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4627-1 DO-35 package?
The cathode of the 1N4627-1 is marked by a distinct color band on the glass DO-35 body. For proper Zener regulation, the banded end must be held at a higher potential than the unmarked (anode) end - reverse biasing the junction to achieve 6.2 V breakdown conduction.
