Product details
Overview
1N4701UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 14.0 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MLL34) MELF package, tested at 50 µA Zener current, with 0.14 V voltage regulation and 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 10.6 V, used for precision voltage reference and low-power regulation in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4701UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4701UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4701UR-1/TR application, or 1N4701UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetically sealed glass construction, metallurgically bonded die, MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability, RoHS-compliant commercial version, and minimal 1.5 pF capacitance at zero bias - critical for noise-sensitive analog references and radiation-tolerant designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across wide temperature (–65°C to +175°C) and current ranges, with thermal resistance junction-to-end cap of 100°C/W and junction-to-ambient of 250°C/W on FR4 board. Its low 50 µA test current enables ultra-low-power biasing in battery-backed circuits.
The DO-213AA package uses end-cap terminations with tin-lead or matte-tin plating, cathode marked by band, and polarity defined for banded-end-positive operation. It delivers inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.0 V at 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for low-current reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - supports continuous operation up to 35 mA at 14 V without derating below 50°C ambient |
| Voltage Regulation (∆VZ) | 0.14 V - indicates tight knee behavior between 10 µA and 100 µA, enabling stable low-current regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA at 10.6 V - ensures negligible error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.5 V at 100 mA - confirms standard silicon PN junction behavior for forward conduction checks |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial, aerospace, and downhole systems |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MLL34) hermetically sealed glass MELF package with axial end-cap terminals; cathode indicated by colored band; polarity requires banded end to be positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node when regulating reverse voltage |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to regulated voltage rail; must be held positive relative to anode for Zener conduction |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4701A | Same 14 V nominal Zener voltage but in DO-41 through-hole package; ±5% tolerance; 1.0 W power rating | Requires PCB through-hole mounting and larger board area; higher power allows >70 mA regulation current | Select when mechanical robustness or higher dissipation is prioritized over size and surface-mount compatibility |
| BZX55C14 | 14 V Zener in DO-35 glass package; ±5% tolerance; 500 mW rating; 5 mA test current; higher 100 nA leakage at 11.2 V | Larger footprint than DO-213AA; less suitable for high-reliability or radiation-exposed environments | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial designs where hermetic sealing and MIL-PRF-19500 screening are not required |
Compared with 1N4701A and BZX55C14, the 1N4701UR-1/TR offers superior space efficiency via MELF SMD packaging, guaranteed hermeticity, and radiation tolerance - making it optimal for miniaturized, mission-critical, or extended-temperature deployments where reliability outweighs cost or power headroom.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4701UR-1/TR?
The 1N4701UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 14.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0240-1 Rev. 2. Tighter 2% (C suffix) and 1% (D suffix) tolerance variants are available upon request, but the base 1N4701UR-1/TR part carries the ±5% specification.
Is the 1N4701UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4701UR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant form with matte-tin plating on its end caps, designated by the "e3" suffix in the part nomenclature. RoHS compliance applies only to the commercial-grade version; up-screened versions per MIL-PRF-19500 retain tin-lead plating unless otherwise specified.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N4701UR-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-B standard, enabling automated SMT placement. This is a packaging option - not a functional variant - and does not affect electrical specifications. The "UR-1" portion identifies the metallurgically bonded, surface-mount DO-213AA construction.
Can the 1N4701UR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N4701UR-1/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi's MicroNote 050. Its hermetically sealed glass package and metallurgically bonded die structure provide proven resilience to total ionizing dose (TID), making it suitable for low-earth orbit satellite power monitors and nuclear instrumentation systems.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4701UR-1/TR?
The 1N4701UR-1/TR is rated for 0.5 W steady-state power dissipation at end-cap temperature (TEC) < 125°C or ambient temperature (TA) < 50°C on FR4 board with 1 oz copper. Derating begins linearly above these temperatures, reaching zero dissipation at 175°C junction temperature per the power derating curve on page 4.
