Product details
Overview
1N6021UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 75 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) MELF package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 2.0 mA test current, and 265 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT; used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6021UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N6021UR-1/TR pinout, 1N6021UR-1/TR application, or 1N6021UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (300 °C/W), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 56 V), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with regulation established at 75 V ±5% under 2.0 mA test current. Its 265 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and +0.098 %/°C temperature coefficient ensure stable output across temperature and load variations.
The DO-213AA glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing, inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, and minimal junction capacitance (~6.7 pF). It is rated for 0.5 W dissipation at 25 °C with derating to zero at 175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V ±5% at 2.0 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on FR4 board with 1 oz Cu |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 265 Ω at IZT = 2.0 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.1 µA at 56 V - ensures negligible current draw in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 300 °C/W - defines temperature rise per watt on standard FR4 layout; critical for thermal design margin |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.098 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift with ambient temperature; enables compensation in precision circuits |
| Package | DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) - glass MELF surface-mount package with end-cap terminations and cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) is a cylindrical glass MELF package with two metallized end caps serving as anode and cathode terminals. Cathode is marked by a single black band; polarity must be observed for correct Zener operation (banded end positive in regulation mode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to higher potential node; reverse-biased to maintain 75 V reference across load |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference return terminal | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; completes Zener current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetically sealed glass construction | Enables operation from −65 °C to +175 °C with immunity to moisture-induced degradation |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Supports lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 s without delamination or bond failure |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 for use in space-qualified and high-reliability systems |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Enables military-grade reliability qualification via prefix addition (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, CDS) |
| Low junction capacitance | Typical 6.7 pF at 75 V - minimizes signal coupling and noise injection in high-frequency reference paths |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N6021UR-1/TR?
The 1N6021UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 2.0 mA. This tolerance ensures predictable regulation behavior in feedback and reference circuits, and the specified test condition aligns with JEDEC standards for consistent characterization across production lots.
Is the 1N6021UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N6021UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant with matte-tin plating on its end caps, qualified for lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. RoHS compliance applies to commercial-grade units only; military-screened variants (e.g., MQ/MX prefixes) follow different material specifications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for the 1N6021UR-1/TR?
The 1N6021UR-1/TR exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at 56 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and precision reference applications where parasitic current paths must be minimized.
Can the 1N6021UR-1/TR be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N6021UR-1/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from −65 °C to +175 °C. Its DO-213AA glass package and internal metallurgical bonds ensure reliable operation in extended-temperature industrial and aerospace systems, provided thermal derating per Figure 1 is applied.
Does the 1N6021UR-1/TR have documented radiation hardness?
Yes, the 1N6021UR-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. This characteristic stems from its hermetically sealed glass construction and material selection, making it suitable for space-qualified and nuclear instrumentation applications without additional shielding.
