Product details
Overview
1N4967US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, voidless-hermetically-sealed glass Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at TEC = 140 °C, with nominal Zener voltage 24 V ±5%, dynamic impedance 5.0 Ω at 50 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability military and aerospace power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4967US/TR datasheet, 1N4967US/TR pinout, 1N4967US/TR application, or 1N4967US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetic glass package, Category I metallurgical bond, −65 °C to +175 °C operation, 24 V regulation stability under wide current variation, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification for mission-critical systems.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage (24 V @ IZT = 50 mA), low dynamic impedance (5.0 Ω), and minimal voltage drift (αVZ = +0.090 %/°C). Its regulation holds across 10%–50% of IZM, delivering ΔVZ ≤ 2.0 V per specification.
The 1N4967US/TR uses a tungsten-slug, voidless hard-glass case with copper end caps (Sn/Pb finish), cathode band polarity marking, and EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging. Thermal resistance is 7 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap), enabling stable 5 W dissipation up to 140 °C end-cap temperature before linear derating to zero at 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 24 V ±5% at IZT = 50 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance | 5.0 Ω @ IZT = 50 mA - low AC impedance ensures stable regulation against load transients |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables operation in extreme environmental conditions without parameter shift |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 2 μA @ VR = 18.2 V - ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap) - determines required heatsinking for sustained 5 W operation |
| Surge Current | 6.5 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands short-duration transient overloads without degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4967US | Same electrical specs and package; differs only in packaging format (bulk vs. tape-and-reel) | No functional difference; identical use in PCB assembly | Select 1N4967US/TR for automated SMT placement; choose 1N4967US for manual or low-volume prototyping |
| 1N4967 | Axial-leaded version (no "US" suffix); same Zener voltage and power rating but different thermal path and mounting | Requires through-hole footprint and lacks hermetic glass seal; lower thermal resistance to ambient | Choose 1N4967 only if board layout mandates axial leads and MIL-spec hermeticity is not required |
Compared with 1N4967US and 1N4967, the 1N4967US/TR offers identical regulation performance plus EIA-481-B tape-and-reel compatibility for high-volume SMT production, while retaining full MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification and hermetic reliability unattainable with axial-leaded alternatives.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4967US/TR?
The 1N4967US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table at IZT = 50 mA. No suffix indicates this standard tolerance; tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require C or D suffixes not present in the 1N4967US/TR part number.
Does the 1N4967US/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements?
Yes, the 1N4967US/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 as a JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS device depending on screening level. Its voidless hermetic glass package, Category I metallurgical bond, triple-layer passivation, and −65 °C to +175 °C operation fully satisfy the specification's reliability and environmental requirements.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for the 1N4967US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for the 1N4967US/TR is 198 mA, calculated from P = V × I using its 5 W power rating and 24 V nominal Zener voltage. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and assumes operation at TEC = 140 °C with appropriate thermal management.
How does the 1N4967US/TR handle transient overcurrent events?
The 1N4967US/TR supports a nonrepetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 6.5 A for an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse, as defined in the Maximum Ratings table. This capability allows it to absorb common power-line transients without degradation, provided the average power remains within 5 W limits.
Is the 1N4967US/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
The 1N4967US/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps, making it incompatible with Pb-free reflow profiles. For RoHS-compliant assembly, Microsemi offers alternative part numbers with matte tin terminations; the 1N4967US/TR itself requires traditional Sn63/Pb37 soldering and must be segregated in mixed-technology lines.
