Product details
Overview
1N4687UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 4.3 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MLL34) MELF glass package, rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C and tested at 50 µA Zener current; used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and bias circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4687UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4687UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4687UR-1/TR application, or 1N4687UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 50 µA test current, 0.99 V regulation deviation (ΔVZ), 4.0 µA max reverse leakage at 1.0 V, hermetic glass construction, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-bias breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at 4.3 V ±5% under 50 µA test current (IZT). Its regulation deviation of 0.99 V between 10 µA and 100 µA reflects stable knee behavior suitable for low-current biasing.
The DO-213AA package uses metallurgically bonded metal end caps sealed to glass, delivering hermeticity, radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - critical for aerospace and high-reliability industrial control systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V ±5% at IZT = 50 µA - defines nominal regulation point for low-current reference design. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at TEC ≤ 125 °C - supports continuous operation in compact, unheatsinked PCB layouts. |
| Regulation Deviation (ΔVZ) | 0.99 V (100 µA – 10 µA) - quantifies voltage stability across operating current range. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 4.0 µA max at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature avionics and downhole instrumentation. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W on FR4 - informs derating requirements when ambient exceeds 50 °C. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MLL34) MELF glass package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with metallurgically bonded tin-lead or matte-tin plated end caps; cathode indicated by single band; polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; carries forward current or reverse leakage path. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation output / reference voltage node | Provides stabilized 4.3 V relative to anode; must be biased positive w.r.t. anode for breakdown operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments. |
| Metallurgical die bonding | Ensures mechanical robustness and thermal reliability under thermal cycling and vibration stress. |
| Low 50 µA Zener test current | Enables use in ultra-low-power sensor biasing and battery-operated reference circuits. |
| MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening option | Supports qualification for military/aerospace applications requiring enhanced screening and traceability. |
| Non-ESD-sensitive design | Withstands handling without special ESD controls per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C4V3 (Vishay) | Same 4.3 V ±5%, but DO-35 through-hole package; higher RθJA (350 °C/W); no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option. | Limited to commercial-grade PCBs without hermetic sealing or radiation hardening requirements. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-military designs where surface-mount assembly is not required. |
| MMBZ5225BS (ON Semiconductor) | SOT-23 package; 4.3 V ±5%; 200 mW rating; 10 µA IZT; higher leakage (10 µA @ 1 V). | Higher board density but reduced power margin and temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C). | Prefer for space-constrained consumer electronics where full 0.5 W dissipation is unnecessary. |
Compared with BZX55C4V3 and MMBZ5225BS, the 1N4687UR-1/TR delivers superior thermal performance in surface-mount form, hermetic reliability for harsh environments, and qualification pathways for high-reliability programs - making it the only choice when DO-213AA mechanical robustness and extended temperature compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N4687UR-1/TR?
The 1N4687UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, measured at a Zener test current (IZT) of 50 µA and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This tolerance applies to the commercial-grade version; tighter 2% and 1% options are available under different suffixes per the part nomenclature guide.
Does 1N4687UR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening?
Yes, the 1N4687UR-1/TR is available with MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening upon request - including additional environmental, electrical, and quality assurance testing beyond commercial specifications. Screening levels (e.g., JAN, JANTX, JANTXV) are designated via prefix codes in the full part number, not in the base 1N4687UR-1/TR designation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4687UR-1/TR at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N4687UR-1/TR is 4.0 µA when measured at VR = 1.0 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision analog circuits where load currents are sub-microampere.
Is 1N4687UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4687UR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4687UR-1/TR e3), featuring matte-tin plating on end caps. RoHS compliance is limited to commercial-grade devices; screened versions follow legacy MIL-spec plating requirements.
What package type and dimensions does 1N4687UR-1/TR use?
The 1N4687UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MLL34) MELF glass package: cylindrical, hermetically sealed, with overall dimensions of 1.60–1.70 mm diameter (A) and 3.30–3.70 mm length (B). The cathode is marked by a single band; polarity is critical - banded end is cathode.
