Product details
Overview
1N4691UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 6.2 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package, tested at 50 µA Zener current, with 10.0 V maximum voltage regulation and 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 10.0 V, used for precision low-power voltage reference and regulation in space-constrained analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4691UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4691UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4691UR-1/TR application, or 1N4691UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low 50 µA test current, hermetically sealed glass construction, MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating option, and minimal 1.5 V forward voltage at 100 mA.
Technical Context
The 1N4691UR-1/TR operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device relying on silicon Zener breakdown, not avalanche, with a nominal 6.2 V regulation point defined at IZT = 50 µA. Its internal metallurgical bond between silicon die and metal end caps ensures high thermal and mechanical reliability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
Designed for stable operation across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, it delivers consistent regulation with only 0.95 V voltage regulation (∆VZ), 10.0 µA reverse leakage at VR = 10.0 V, and 90 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), enabling use in low-current bias networks and sensor excitation circuits where power budget is sub-1 mW.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A-T | Same 6.2 V nominal, but 1 W power rating, DO-41 through-hole package, 10 mA IZT | Requires PCB through-hole mounting and higher bias current; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT layouts | Select when higher power margin or legacy through-hole compatibility is required |
| BZX84-C6V2 | 6.2 V SOT-23 package, 350 mW rating, 5 mA IZT, ±5% tolerance, non-hermetic plastic | Lacks hermetic seal and radiation hardness; higher leakage (1 µA @ VR) and less stable ∆VZ (1.5 V) | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where environmental ruggedness is not critical |
Compared with 1N4691UR-1/TR, the 1N4735A-T offers higher power headroom but sacrifices SMT compatibility and low-current operation, while the BZX84-C6V2 reduces size and cost but compromises reliability, leakage, and radiation performance-making 1N4691UR-1/TR optimal for high-integrity, low-power, hermetically sealed designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for the 1N4691UR-1/TR?
The 1N4691UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V, specified at a Zener test current (IZT) of 50 µA. This ultra-low test current enables stable regulation in micro-power circuits where supply current is tightly constrained. The device maintains this voltage within ±5% tolerance across its operating temperature range, making the 1N4691UR-1/TR ideal for precision low-current reference applications.
Is the 1N4691UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4691UR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions with matte-tin plating on the end caps, designated by the "e3" suffix in the full part number (e.g., 1N4691UR-1/TR e3). RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade units; up-screened versions per MIL-PRF-19500 retain SnPb plating unless otherwise specified. Always verify the specific reel label or datasheet revision for compliance status of your 1N4691UR-1/TR shipment.
What package type does the 1N4691UR-1/TR use?
The 1N4691UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA package, also known as SOD80 or MLL34, a hermetically sealed glass MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) surface-mount package. It features metallurgically bonded metal end caps, a cathode band marking, and weighs 0.04 grams. This package provides superior moisture resistance and thermal performance compared to plastic SMT Zeners, and is fully compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Can the 1N4691UR-1/TR be used in high-reliability aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N4691UR-1/TR supports MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening for high-reliability aerospace applications. While the base commercial version is qualified per JANS/JANTXV standards, up-screened lots undergo additional testing including burn-in, life test, and radiation hardness verification per Microsemi's MicroNote 050. This makes the 1N4691UR-1/TR suitable for flight-critical power monitoring and reference functions where long-term stability under radiation and thermal stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4691UR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N4691UR-1/TR is 5.0 µA, measured at a reverse voltage (VR) of 10.0 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal error injection in high-impedance reference networks and bias circuits. The value remains stable across the full –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, supporting reliable operation in extreme environments without significant drift in the 1N4691UR-1/TR's regulation performance.
