Product details
Overview
1N4712UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 28.0 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MLL34) MELF glass package, tested at 50 µA, with 0.28 V regulation change between 10 µA and 100 µA, used for precision voltage reference and low-power regulation in industrial power supplies and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4712UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4712UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4712UR-1/TR application, or 1N4712UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at low test current, hermetic glass packaging for reliability, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end cap), minimal capacitance, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening compatibility.
Technical Context
The 1N4712UR-1/TR operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 28.0 V at 50 µA, exhibiting 0.28 V regulation deviation (∆VZ) between 10 µA and 100 µA test points. Its metallurgically bonded silicon die within a hermetically sealed DO-213AA glass body ensures stable breakdown characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Designed for low-current regulation, it delivers 17.0 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at rated 500 mW dissipation, with only 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 21.2 V (0.75 × VZ). The device's minimal junction capacitance supports high-frequency stability in feedback and reference paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.0 V at IZT = 50 µA - defines precise regulation point for low-power reference circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4712A-TR | Same 28 V rating and DO-213AA package but manufactured by ON Semiconductor; ±5% tolerance; 50 µA IZT; 0.3 V ∆VZ | Higher regulation deviation (0.3 V vs. 0.28 V); identical thermal and leakage specs | Preferred where second-source qualification is required; no PCB layout change needed |
| BZX55C27-TR | 27 V nominal (not 28 V); DO-35 axial package; 5% tolerance; 5 mA IZT; higher leakage (1 µA @ 20.3 V) | Lower voltage rating and axial through-hole mounting limit use in compact SMT designs | Select only if 27 V suffices and board supports axial components; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with 1N4712A-TR and BZX55C27-TR, the 1N4712UR-1/TR offers tighter regulation linearity (0.28 V ∆VZ) and superior hermetic reliability in MELF format, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-stability applications where voltage accuracy and environmental resilience are prioritized over cost or multi-source availability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for 1N4712UR-1/TR?
The 1N4712UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 28.0 V measured at a test current (IZT) of 50 µA. This low test current enables accurate voltage setting in ultra-low-power circuits. The device maintains this regulation point across its specified junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, and the 1N4712UR-1/TR datasheet confirms ±5% tolerance at this condition.
Is 1N4712UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4712UR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant version with matte-tin plating (designated by "e3" suffix in full nomenclature), but only for commercial-grade units. The RoHS-compliant 1N4712UR-1/TR meets lead-free assembly requirements and is solderable per MIL-STD-750, method 2026, with no compromise to hermetic sealing or electrical performance.
What package type does 1N4712UR-1/TR use?
The 1N4712UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA package-also known as SOD-80 or MLL34-a hermetically sealed glass MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) surface-mount package. Its cylindrical geometry with metallized end caps provides superior thermal conduction and reliability versus plastic SMD packages, and the 1N4712UR-1/TR marking includes a single black band indicating the cathode terminal.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N4712UR-1/TR?
The maximum dc Zener current (IZM) for the 1N4712UR-1/TR is 17.0 mA at 25 °C ambient, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 28.0 V Zener voltage. This value assumes proper thermal management via end-cap conduction; derating applies above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature, as defined in the 1N4712UR-1/TR power derating curve.
Does 1N4712UR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening?
Yes, the 1N4712UR-1/TR platform supports MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening-available under appropriate reliability level prefixes (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, MSP) per the part nomenclature guide. While the base 1N4712UR-1/TR is commercial-grade, the same die and package construction can be processed to meet military screening requirements, including extended temperature, life test, and hermeticity validation.
