Product details
Overview
1N4693UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package, rated for 7.5 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, ±5% tolerance, with 0.75 V regulation change between 10 µA and 100 µA. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision low-current voltage reference and regulation in space-constrained analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4693UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4693UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4693UR-1/TR application, or 1N4693UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its ultra-low 50 µA Zener test current, hermetically sealed glass construction, MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability, minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF), and radiation-hardened design per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown, where stable regulation is achieved at low bias currents. Its metallurgically bonded silicon die and hermetic glass encapsulation ensure high reliability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The DO-213AA package enables surface-mount assembly while maintaining thermal resistance of 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4. Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and operation requires the banded end to be positive relative to the anode for regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 7.5 V at 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for low-power biasing and reference generation |
| Zener Test Current | 50 µA - enables stable regulation in micro-power circuits without burdening source impedance |
| Voltage Regulation (∆VZ) | 0.75 V (10 µA to 100 µA) - quantifies knee-region stability for low-current applications |
| Max Reverse Leakage @ VR | 10.0 µA at 5.7 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W - supports continuous operation up to 63.6 mA Zener current at TEC ≤ 125 °C |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - qualifies for extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
| Package Type | DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) - MELF-style hermetic glass surface-mount package with end-cap terminations |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) is a cylindrical MELF-style hermetically sealed glass package with two metallized end caps serving as anode and cathode terminals. Cathode is marked by a visible band; polarity must be observed during PCB layout and assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to higher potential during Zener operation; defines reference voltage polarity |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference return node | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential; completes reverse-bias path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in harsh environments |
| Metallurgical die bonding | Enhances thermal transfer and mechanical robustness versus epoxy-bonded alternatives |
| Ultra-low 50 µA Zener test current | Enables use in nano-power systems where supply current is strictly constrained |
| MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening option | Supports qualification for military/aerospace programs requiring reliability screening |
| Radiation hardness (per MicroNote 050) | Validated performance in total ionizing dose (TID) environments up to 100 krad(Si) |

|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C7V5 (Vishay) | 500 mW DO-35 package; 7.5 V ±5%; 5 mA test current; higher leakage (50 µA @ 6 V) | Less suitable for ultra-low-current biasing; not radiation-hardened or MIL-screenable | Lower-cost alternative where radiation tolerance and micro-power operation are not required |
| MMBZ5227BS (ON Semiconductor) | SOT-23 package; 7.5 V ±5%; 20 mA test current; 350 mW rating; RoHS-compliant only | Higher power dissipation but larger temperature coefficient; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening path | Preferred for high-volume consumer designs needing SMT compatibility and Pb-free compliance |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4693UR-1/TR?
The 1N4693UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0240-1 Rev. 2. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available via different suffixes (C and D), but the "UR-1" base part defaults to ±5%.
Is 1N4693UR-1/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - the 1N4693UR-1/TR supports lead-free soldering with a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its end caps are available with matte-tin plating (RoHS-compliant e3 version), making it suitable for standard Pb-free reflow profiles.
Does 1N4693UR-1/TR require external current limiting?
Yes - like all Zener diodes, the 1N4693UR-1/TR must be used with a series current-limiting resistor to prevent exceeding its 0.5 W power rating. At 7.5 V, maximum continuous Zener current is 63.6 mA; typical designs use 1–10 mA for optimal regulation stability and thermal margin.
Can 1N4693UR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes - the 1N4693UR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi's MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si). This makes it suitable for satellite, nuclear, and high-altitude avionics applications where parameter shift under irradiation must be minimized.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N4693UR-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-B standard, enabling automated SMT placement. The base part 1N4693UR-1 is identical electrically and mechanically; "TR" specifies the delivery format only - no parameter or reliability differences are implied.
