Product details
Overview
1N6345US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed glass Zener diode with nominal 75 V zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 0.5 W power rating, and B-SQ MELF surface-mount package. It delivers stable voltage regulation across -65°C to +175°C for high-reliability power supply reference and overvoltage protection in aerospace avionics and radiation-hardened systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6345US/TR datasheet, 1N6345US/TR pinout, 1N6345US/TR application, or 1N6345US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/533 qualification (JAN/JANTXV levels), 5.7 Ω dynamic impedance at 180 mA, 0.125 V voltage regulation (∆VZ), and 100 µA max reverse leakage at 56 V - critical for precision biasing and fault-tolerant voltage clamping.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a specified test current IZT of 180 mA and knee current IZK of 250 µA. Its internal metallurgical bond (Category I) ensures robust thermal and mechanical stability under shock, vibration, and rapid thermal cycling.
Designed for DC voltage regulation, it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.103 %/°C above 7 V and maintains low noise density (≤80 µV/√Hz, 1–3 kHz), making it suitable for low-noise analog references where long-term parametric drift must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75.0 V nominal at 180 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at TEC = 150 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1,600 Ω at 180 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Voltage Regulation (∆VZ) | 3.40 V - measured change between 10% and 50% of IZM at 25 °C, indicating regulation linearity |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR1) | 10 µA at 56 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - enables operation in extreme environments including space-grade and engine-bay electronics |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 21 °C/W - junction-to-end-cap path optimized for conduction cooling via PCB copper pads |
Pinout & Package
Package: B-SQ MELF (glass cylindrical surface-mount) with copper end caps, tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte tin finish; cathode indicated by band; weight 0.0945 g; dimensions BD = 0.070–0.085 in (1.78–2.16 mm), BL = 0.165–0.195 in (4.19–4.95 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Category I metallurgical bond | Enables survivability under MIL-STD-883 mechanical shock (1,500 g) and thermal cycling (-65/+175 °C) |
| MIL-PRF-19500/533 qualification | Validated reliability levels (JAN, JANTXV) with lot traceability and screening per military standards |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per MicroNote 050 - no additional shielding required |
| ESD immunity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - withstands >4 kV HBM without parameter shift |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6345US | Same die, identical electrical specs, but supplied in bulk (not tape-and-reel); no TR suffix | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies | Select 1N6345US/TR for automated SMT placement; choose 1N6345US for bench evaluation or repair kits |
| SMZ75AG | Surface-mount Zener with 75 V, ±5%, 0.5 W, but plastic DO-213AA package; not hermetic or MIL-qualified | Suitable for commercial industrial controls, not aerospace/defense | Use SMZ75AG only where cost and RoHS compliance outweigh reliability and radiation requirements |
Compared with 1N6345US/TR, the 1N6345US offers identical performance without tape-and-reel packaging, while SMZ75AG trades hermeticity and military qualification for lower cost and lead-free compatibility - making the 1N6345US/TR the sole choice for mission-critical, high-temperature, radiation-exposed applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N6345US/TR?
The 1N6345US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0193-1 Rev. 1. Tighter tolerances (±1% or ±2%) are available under different part number suffixes (e.g., D or C), but the TR-suffixed version uses the standard 5% tolerance.
Is the 1N6345US/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533?
Yes, the 1N6345US/TR is explicitly qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/533, supporting JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS reliability levels. This qualification is documented in the DESCRIPTION section on page 1 and verified through full military screening including temperature cycling, burn-in, and parameter testing.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N6345US/TR?
The 1N6345US/TR has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 0.5 W at an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 150 °C, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Derating is required above this temperature per Figure 2 (RθJEC = 21 °C/W), reaching zero power at 255 °C junction temperature.
Does the 1N6345US/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N6345US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its voidless hermetic glass construction and Category I metallurgical bond provide proven tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID), eliminating the need for external shielding in space or nuclear environments.
What package type does the 1N6345US/TR use?
The 1N6345US/TR uses the B-SQ MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) surface-mount package - a voidless hermetically sealed glass cylinder with copper end caps and cathode band marking. Dimensions are BD = 0.070–0.085 in and BL = 0.165–0.195 in, per Package Dimensions on page 6.
