Product details
Overview
1N6352US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 150 V, ±5% tolerance, 0.5 W power rating, and 2.8 Ω dynamic impedance at 1000 mA test current-designed for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace and defense power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6352US/TR datasheet, 1N6352US/TR pinout, 1N6352US/TR application, or 1N6352US/TR equivalent, this part supports stable reference generation under wide temperature (–65 °C to +175 °C), high surge immunity (114 A @ 8.3 ms), and radiation-hardened operation per MicroNote 050-critical for avionics, satellite power conditioning, and hardened instrumentation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 7.00 V over 10–50% IZM at 25 °C) and low noise density (0.065 µV/√Hz, 1–3 kHz). Its internal Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and vibration.
The device uses a B-SQ MELF (glass cylindrical) package with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish, rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s), and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.110 %/°C) above 100 V-enabling predictable drift compensation in precision references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 150 V nominal at 1000 mA - provides stable reference for high-voltage DC-DC feedback loops |
| Power Rating (PD) | 0.5 W @ TEC = 150 °C - requires thermal management via end-cap mounting on heatsink or metal-core PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.8 Ω @ IZ = 1000 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 114 A @ 8.3 ms square wave - withstands lightning-induced surges in MIL-STD-461-compliant systems |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.110 %/°C - enables predictable voltage drift correction in wide-temperature-range designs |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - qualified for extreme-environment deployment without derating penalties |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA max @ VR = 122 V, 150 °C - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on safety monitors |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed B-SQ MELF glass package (0.070–0.085 in diameter × 0.165–0.195 in length); cathode indicated by single black band; copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish; weight: 0.0945 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-impedance return path | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail during normal forward bias operation |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal / high-impedance reference node | Connected to regulated voltage node; band-marked end must face higher potential in reverse-bias configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination-ensures >20-year reliability in vacuum or humid environments |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Guarantees mechanical integrity under 50 g shock and 20 g RMS vibration per MIL-STD-883 Method 2007 |
| JANS-level qualification | Fully compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/533 - certified for spaceflight and nuclear command/control systems |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) ≥ 100 krad(Si) per MicroNote 050 - no shielding required in LEO missions |
| ESD immunity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - survives >4 kV HBM without parameter shift |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6352US | Same electrical specs and package; TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging only | No functional difference-identical die, bond, and qualification level | Select 1N6352US/TR when automated SMT placement is required; use 1N6352US for manual or bulk assembly |
| SMF150A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 150 V, 1 W rating; ±5% tolerance; RoHS-only; no MIL-qualification | Lacks JANS qualification, radiation hardness, and hermetic seal-suitable only for commercial industrial use | Choose SMF150A only for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical applications where MIL-spec compliance is not required |
Compared with 1N6352US/TR, the 1N6352US offers identical performance in bulk form but lacks tape-and-reel logistics; SMF150A trades military reliability for surface-mount convenience and higher power, making it unsuitable for aerospace or defense deployments requiring MIL-PRF-19500/533 certification.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N6352US/TR?
The 1N6352US/TR has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 1000 mA test current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0193-1 datasheet. Tighter tolerances (±1%, ±2%) are available under different part number suffixes (e.g., D or C), but the /TR variant retains the base ±5% specification.
Is 1N6352US/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533?
Yes, the 1N6352US/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533 at JANS reliability level, as confirmed in the "Qualified Levels" section on page 1 of the datasheet. It meets all screening, testing, and documentation requirements for spaceflight and nuclear command applications.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N6352US/TR?
The 1N6352US/TR is rated for a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 114 A under an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value reflects its capability to absorb transient energy without degradation in high-reliability power systems.
Does 1N6352US/TR have radiation hardness specifications?
Yes, the 1N6352US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with documented tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) ≥ 100 krad(Si). This characteristic stems from its voidless glass construction and Category I metallurgical bond-not added process hardening.
What package type does 1N6352US/TR use?
The 1N6352US/TR uses the B-SQ MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) glass package-a cylindrical, hermetically sealed voidless glass body with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish, measuring 0.070–0.085 in diameter and 0.165–0.195 in length per page 6 of the datasheet.
