Product details
Overview
1N6322US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 8.2 V ±5%, 0.5 W power rating, and MELF (B-SQ) surface-mount package. It regulates voltage across wide current (20 mA test, 6.0 A max surge) and temperature (−65 °C to +175 °C) ranges in high-reliability aerospace and defense power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6322US/TR datasheet, 1N6322US/TR pinout, 1N6322US/TR application, or 1N6322US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/533 qualification (JANTXV level), low dynamic impedance (5 Ω @ 20 mA), tight thermal resistance (RθJEC = 21 °C/W), and radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and shunt regulator in DC bias networks, leveraging a metallurgically bonded tungsten slug within a voidless glass envelope for stable breakdown characteristics. Its Category I internal bond structure ensures mechanical integrity under shock/vibration, while RoHS-compliant tin finish (commercial grade only) supports modern assembly requirements.
The 1N6322US/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.075 %/°C) and low noise density (20 µV/√Hz), enabling use in low-drift analog references and ESD-immune signal conditioning. Derating follows RθJEC = 21 °C/W up to 150 °C end-cap temperature, with full 0.5 W dissipation maintained below 75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V ±5% at 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage with predictable tolerance band for supply rail clamping. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W @ TEC = 150 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating on PCB. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω @ 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in feedback loops. |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A (8.3 ms square wave) - supports transient overvoltage suppression in MIL-STD-1275 compliant systems. |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables operation in extreme environments including space-grade and engine bay electronics. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.075 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree, critical for temperature-stable reference design. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA @ 1 V - confirms low standby current in battery-backed monitoring circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6322US | Tape-and-reel packaging omitted; same electrical specs and MIL qualification. | Requires manual placement or bulk feed; unsuitable for high-volume SMT lines. | Select 1N6322US/TR when automated pick-and-place integration is required. |
| SMZ8.2A | Commercial-grade SOD-123 package; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; 5% tolerance only. | Limited to non-mission-critical industrial controls; lacks radiation hardness and ESD immunity. | Choose SMZ8.2A only for cost-sensitive, non-aerospace applications with relaxed reliability requirements. |
Compared with 1N6322US/TR, the 1N6322US requires discrete handling but matches all electrical and environmental specs, while SMZ8.2A trades military reliability for lower cost and smaller footprint in benign environments.

The 1N6322US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZ2) of 20 mA. This tolerance aligns with standard JEDEC specifications for the 1N6309US–1N6355US series and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet.
Is the 1N6322US/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533, and which reliability levels apply?
Yes, the 1N6322US/TR is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/533 and available in JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS reliability levels. The "US" suffix denotes the MELF package, and the part falls under Category I internal metallurgical bonding, as specified in the Features section of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the 1N6322US/TR?
The 1N6322US/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 21 °C/W and a junction-to-ambient value (RθJA) of 240 °C/W. Full 0.5 W power dissipation is rated up to 75 °C ambient; above that, linear derating applies per Figure 2, reaching zero power at 150 °C end-cap temperature.
Does the 1N6322US/TR have radiation hardness documentation, and where is it verified?
Yes, the 1N6322US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. This document confirms its suitability for low-earth orbit applications due to material selection and hermetic construction, not requiring additional shielding or testing for TID levels up to 100 krad(Si).
What packaging and plating options are offered for the 1N6322US/TR?
The 1N6322US/TR is supplied in tape-and-reel per EIA-481-B standard. End caps feature copper with either Sn/Pb or RoHS-compliant matte tin plating (commercial grade only). The "TR" suffix explicitly denotes tape-and-reel packaging, distinguishing it from the bulk version 1N6322US.
