Product details
Overview
1N6316US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, hermetically sealed 4.7 V ±5% Zener diode in B-SQ MELF package, rated for 0.5 W steady-state power dissipation at 150 °C end-cap temperature, with 17 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 90 mA maximum Zener current - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6316US/TR datasheet, 1N6316US/TR pinout, 1N6316US/TR application, or 1N6316US/TR equivalent, this part supports high-reliability voltage stabilization across -65 °C to +175 °C, requires no external biasing, delivers stable regulation under wide current variation (5–90 mA), and meets MIL-PRF-19500/533 for JAN/JANTXV reliability levels.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at 4.7 V ±5% at 20 mA (IZ2), 2.8 V minimum at 250 µA (IZ1), and 0.50 V regulation error (∆VZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM. Its voidless glass construction and internal metallurgical bond ensure mechanical robustness and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-end-cap resistance of 35 °C/W (1N6309US–1N6320US group), enabling operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -0.028 %/°C, making it suitable for temperature-compensated reference designs where drift must be minimized.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6316US | Same electrical specs, but supplied in bulk (not tape-and-reel); identical MELF package and MIL-PRF-19500/533 qualification | No automated placement support; suited for manual prototyping or low-volume repair | Select 1N6316US/TR when SMT production line compatibility and traceable reel packaging are required |
| SMF4.7A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 4.7 V ±5%; 1 W rating; non-military; RoHS-only; 30 Ω Zz @ 25 mA | Lacks MIL qualification, radiation hardness, and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 | Choose SMF4.7A only for commercial-grade cost-sensitive applications where reliability requirements are less stringent |
Compared with 1N6316US/TR, the 1N6316US offers identical performance but lacks tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly, while SMF4.7A trades military reliability and thermal robustness for higher power rating and lower cost in non-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N6316US/TR?
The 1N6316US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZ2) of 20 mA and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This tolerance is standard for the series unless tighter 1% or 2% variants are selected via part nomenclature (e.g., "D" or "C" suffix). The 1N6316US/TR uses the base "blank" tolerance designation.
Does 1N6316US/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/533 requirements?
Yes, the 1N6316US/TR is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/533 for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS reliability levels. Its voidless hermetic glass construction, internal metallurgical bond, and screening per military standards make it suitable for use in defense and space applications requiring certified high-reliability components.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for 1N6316US/TR?
The 1N6316US/TR has a junction and storage temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap is 35 °C/W (for the 1N6309US–1N6320US group), allowing safe operation at full 0.5 W power dissipation only when end-cap temperature is maintained at or below 150 °C per derating curves in the datasheet.
Is 1N6316US/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N6316US/TR is available in both RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) and non-RoHS versions. RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade units; military-grade variants (JAN/JANTXV/JANS) retain Sn/Pb terminations per exemption. Confirm RoHS status via the full part number suffix when ordering.
How does the temperature coefficient affect 1N6316US/TR performance?
The 1N6316US/TR has a Zener voltage temperature coefficient of -0.028 %/°C, meaning its regulated voltage decreases by approximately 1.32 mV/°C near 4.7 V. This negative drift must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating across wide temperature ranges, especially when paired with positive-coefficient devices for compensation.
