Product details
Overview
1N4704UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package, rated for 17.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 50 µA test current, ±5% tolerance, with 0.17 V regulation change between 10 µA and 100 µA and 0.05 µA max reverse leakage at 12.9 V. It delivers stable voltage reference in precision power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4704UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4704UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4704UR-1/TR application, or 1N4704UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include low test current (50 µA), hermetic glass packaging, MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability, minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF), and radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
This Zener regulator operates in reverse breakdown with metallurgically bonded silicon die sandwiched between metal end caps, enabling high reliability and thermal stability. Its low 50 µA test current supports ultra-low-power biasing while maintaining tight regulation (ΔVZ = 0.17 V) across operating current range.
The DO-213AA package provides hermetic sealing and inherent radiation hardness, with thermal resistance of 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4. Polarity is marked by cathode band; device regulates with banded end positive relative to unmarked end.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 17.0 V at IZT = 50 µA - defines primary regulation point for feedback networks |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% - standard grade; 2% and 1% options available for tighter reference accuracy |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.17 V - difference between VZ at 100 µA and 10 µA, indicating knee sharpness |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 0.05 µA at 12.9 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W - derates linearly above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports extended industrial and aerospace environments |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF - hermetically sealed glass, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package: cylindrical glass body with metallized end caps; cathode identified by single black band on one end cap. No discrete pins - terminals are axial end caps soldered directly to PCB pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to higher potential in Zener mode; supplies stable reference voltage to feedback circuitry |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to lower potential; forms return path for Zener current and sets regulation polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift; enables >20-year field reliability |
| Metallurgical die bonding | Eliminates wire bonds and interfacial delamination risks under thermal cycling |
| MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening option | Supports high-reliability programs requiring screening to military specification levels |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently resistant to total ionizing dose (TID) per MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified designs |
| Low 50 µA test current | Enables use in micropower applications where bias current must remain below 100 µA |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N4704UR-1/TR?
The 1N4704UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 17.0 V at 50 µA test current with a standard tolerance of ±5%. Tighter tolerances of ±2% and ±1% are available under different part number suffixes. This voltage defines its primary regulation point in feedback and reference circuits.
Is the 1N4704UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4704UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (commercial grade only) with matte-tin plating on end caps, meeting exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature type solders. The "e3" designation in the full nomenclature confirms RoHS compliance per Microsemi documentation.
What package type does the 1N4704UR-1/TR use, and how is polarity marked?
The 1N4704UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package. Polarity is marked by a single black cathode band on one metal end cap; the device regulates with the banded end held positive relative to the unbanded anode end.
Can the 1N4704UR-1/TR be used in radiation-exposed environments?
Yes, the 1N4704UR-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 due to its metallurgically bonded silicon die and hermetic glass construction. It is qualified for use in low-earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation where total ionizing dose (TID) resistance is required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4704UR-1/TR, and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4704UR-1/TR is 0.05 µA, specified at a reverse voltage (VR) of 12.9 V. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference applications where even nanoamp-level currents would introduce measurable error.
