Product details
Overview
1N6347US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, hermetically sealed, voidless-glass MELF Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 91.0 V ±5%, 0.5 W power rating, 270 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), and 4.7 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZ2. It serves as a precision voltage reference or regulator in high-reliability power supply and protection circuits across aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6347US/TR datasheet, 1N6347US/TR pinout, 1N6347US/TR application, or 1N6347US/TR equivalent, this part delivers stable 91 V regulation over -65 °C to +175 °C, supports MIL-PRF-19500/533 JAN/JANTXV reliability levels, and offers RoHS-compliant commercial variants - critical for radiation-hardened, ESD-insensitive, and long-lifecycle embedded designs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low dynamic impedance (4.7 Ω), and minimal voltage regulation drift (∆VZ = 4.20 V). Its internal Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness under thermal cycling and shock.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-end-cap resistance of 21 °C/W (for 1N6321US–1N6355US series), enabling reliable 0.5 W dissipation up to 150 °C end-cap temperature. Reverse leakage remains ≤10 µA at 69 V and ≤80 µA at 150 °C, supporting stable biasing in wide-temperature environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91.0 V ±5% at 1.4 mA test current - defines precise clamping/reference point in feedback or protection paths |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W @ TEC = 150 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating on standard PCBs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 4.7 Ω @ IZ2 = 270 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 270 mA - determines safe DC operating limit before thermal runaway risk |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extreme environmental conditions without parameter shift |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.108 %/°C - quantifies positive drift rate for system-level compensation planning |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 69 A (8.3 ms square wave) - defines transient overvoltage absorption capability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6347US | 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 1N6347US/TR when automated SMT placement and traceable reel logistics are required |
| SMF91A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 91 V ±5%; 1.0 W PD; higher RθJA (300 °C/W); non-hermetic polymer body | Suitable for commercial industrial controls where cost and board space outweigh radiation/longevity needs | Choose SMF91A only if MIL qualification, hermeticity, and −65 °C operation are not required |
Compared with 1N6347US/TR, the bulk 1N6347US lacks tape-and-reel packaging but matches all electrical and reliability specs, while SMF91A trades hermetic sealing and military qualification for lower cost and smaller footprint - making it viable only in non-critical, temperature-moderate applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N6347US/TR?
The 1N6347US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 91.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table at 25 °C. Tighter tolerances (±1% or ±2%) are available under different part number suffixes (e.g., "D" or "C"), but the "TR" suffix denotes the standard 5% version in tape-and-reel packaging.
Is 1N6347US/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533?
Yes, the 1N6347US/TR is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/533 to JANTXV reliability level, confirmed in the official Microsemi datasheet revision T4-LDS-0193-1. This includes screening for temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing required for high-reliability defense and space applications.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N6347US/TR?
The 1N6347US/TR supports a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 69 A under an 8.3 ms square-wave waveform, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating enables robust transient suppression in high-energy power supply fault conditions.
Does 1N6347US/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N6347US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with documented tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) exceeding 100 krad(Si). This characteristic stems from its voidless hermetic glass construction and Category I metallurgical bond, not added process steps.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap for 1N6347US/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap (RθJEC) for 1N6347US/TR is 21 °C/W, consistent with the 1N6321US–1N6355US series group. This value applies under DC operation and is used to calculate allowable power dissipation versus end-cap temperature per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
