Product details
Overview
1N4698UR-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package, rated for 11.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, ±5% tolerance, with 0.11 V regulation change between 10 µA and 100 µA. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature and is used for precision low-current voltage reference and regulation in space-constrained analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4698UR-1 datasheet, 1N4698UR-1 pinout, 1N4698UR-1 application, or 1N4698UR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low Zener test current (50 µA), hermetically sealed glass construction, metallurgically bonded die, minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF), and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability for high-reliability programs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown, where regulation stability relies on controlled avalanche conduction at precisely defined current and temperature conditions. Its 50 µA test current enables stable operation in micropower circuits, while the metallurgical bond between silicon die and metal end caps ensures thermal robustness and long-term parameter stability under thermal cycling.
The DO-213AA package provides hermetic sealing and low parasitic capacitance-critical for noise-sensitive references-and supports solder reflow per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Voltage regulation performance is specified at 25 °C with 20-second thermal stabilization, and derating begins above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.0 V at IZT = 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for low-power biasing and reference generation |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% - standard grade; tighter 2% (C) or 1% (D) options available per part nomenclature |
| Voltage Regulation (∆VZ) | 0.11 V - difference between VZ at 100 µA and 10 µA, indicating low dynamic impedance in microcurrent range |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA at VR = 8.4 V - ensures negligible error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - rated at TEC < 125 °C or TA < 50 °C on FR4 board with 1 oz Cu |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including aerospace and downhole instrumentation |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 250 °C/W - determines required board copper area and airflow for thermal management |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4698US-1 (Microsemi) | Same electrical specs but in DO-35 (through-hole) package; no MELF form factor | Requires PCB through-hole footprint; unsuitable for automated SMT assembly or high-density layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX55C11 (ON Semiconductor) | 11 V, ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35; higher leakage (5 µA @ 8.4 V) and larger ∆VZ (0.25 V) | Lacks hermetic seal and metallurgical bonding; not qualified to MIL-PRF-19500 | Acceptable for commercial-grade industrial controls where cost outweighs long-term stability |
Compared with 1N4698UR-1, the 1N4698US-1 offers identical regulation performance but requires through-hole assembly, while BZX55C11 trades lower cost for reduced reliability, higher leakage, and non-hermetic construction-making 1N4698UR-1 the only choice for high-stability, high-reliability, or space-constrained SMT designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4698UR-1 as shipped?
The 1N4698UR-1 is manufactured with a standard ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 50 µA test current. Tighter tolerances-2% (marked with 'C') and 1% (marked with 'D')-are available as configurable options per the part nomenclature guide; the base 1N4698UR-1 carries the default 5% band without additional suffix.
Can 1N4698UR-1 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, 1N4698UR-1 supports lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its DO-213AA glass body and matte-tin (RoHS) or tin-lead terminations are qualified for standard SMT reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
Does 1N4698UR-1 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, 1N4698UR-1 must be derated above 50 °C ambient temperature when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper. Its 500 mW power rating applies only below that threshold; above 50 °C, dissipation linearly decreases to zero at 125 °C end-cap temperature, per the published power derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
Is 1N4698UR-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes-1N4698UR-1 is eligible for MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening (MQ/JAN, MX/JANTX, MV/JANTXV, MSP/JANS levels) and exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. When procured with appropriate screening, it meets requirements for low-Earth orbit and geosynchronous satellite payload subsystems.
How does the metallurgical bond in 1N4698UR-1 improve reliability compared to wire-bonded Zeners?
The metallurgical bond in 1N4698UR-1 eliminates thermomechanical stress points associated with aluminum or gold wire bonds. This prevents interfacial fatigue failure under thermal cycling, enabling >1 million cycles between –65 °C and +175 °C without parameter shift-critical for automotive under-hood or downhole oilfield electronics where 1N4698UR-1 delivers proven long-term stability.
