Product details
Overview
1N822/TR from Central Semiconductor is a temperature-compensated, hermetically sealed MELF (DO-213AA) Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 5.9–6.5 V at 7.5 mA test current, 15 Ω zener impedance, ±0.01 %/°C temperature coefficient, and 500 mW power dissipation at +50°C. It serves as a precision voltage reference in analog power supply feedback loops and low-drift sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N822/TR datasheet, 1N822/TR pinout, 1N822/TR application, or 1N822/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its double-anode construction enabling bidirectional voltage regulation, tight thermal stability over –65°C to +175°C, and MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualification readiness via related UR-1 variants.
Technical Context
The 1N822/TR uses metallurgically bonded, double-plug construction for enhanced thermal stability and low noise. Its zener impedance of 15 Ω is measured at 7.5 mA with 10% AC superimposition per JEDEC 5, and its temperature coefficient remains bounded within ±0.01 %/°C across –55°C to +100°C.
Designed for high-reliability analog references, it operates with cathode-positive polarity, supports any mounting orientation, and requires matched thermal expansion (≈+6 ppm/°C) on PCB surfaces to minimize mechanical stress-induced parameter drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.9–6.5 V @ IZT = 7.5 mA - defines stable regulation range under standard test conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω - low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Temp. Coefficient | ±0.01 %/°C - enables <1 mV drift over full industrial temperature span (–55°C to +100°C) |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ +50°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before derating begins |
| Operating Temp. | –65°C to +175°C - supports aerospace, downhole, and military environments without derating limits |
| Reverse Leakage | 2 µA @ VR = 3 V - confirms low off-state current critical for high-impedance reference nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AA (MELF, SOD-80, LL34), hermetically sealed glass case with tin/lead lead finish. Axial symmetry allows either end to serve as anode or cathode due to double-anode construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (bidirectional) | Current entry/exit point | Double-anode design permits operation with either polarity - no fixed anode/cathode assignment required |
| Banded End | Cathode marker | When used unidirectionally, banded end must be held positive relative to other terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Double-anode construction | Enables bidirectional voltage clamping or dual-polarity reference generation without external inversion |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Guarantees long-term parametric stability and moisture immunity in harsh environments |
| Metallurgically bonded plug | Reduces thermal resistance and minimizes voltage drift during thermal cycling |
| MIL-PRF-19500/159 compatibility path | CDLL822 and related 1N82xUR-1 variants support JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS screening for defense programs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDLL822 | Same electrical specs, identical DO-213AA package, but commercial-grade (non-MIL screened) | No JAN/JANTXV qualification; suitable for non-defense industrial use only | Select CDLL822 when MIL-PRF-19500 compliance is not required and cost sensitivity is higher |
| 1N822A | Lower zener impedance (10 Ω vs. 15 Ω) at same 7.5 mA test current; otherwise identical VZ, TC, and packaging | Better dynamic regulation in fast-transient applications such as switching regulator feedback | Choose 1N822A where tighter AC regulation is prioritized over marginal cost increase |
Compared with CDLL822 and 1N822A, the 1N822/TR offers identical core regulation performance but includes tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) for automated SMT placement, making it optimal for high-volume production versus manual or MIL-bench use cases.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1N822/TR?
The 1N822/TR has a specified zener voltage range of 5.9 V to 6.5 V at 7.5 mA test current. This ±5% nominal spread reflects manufacturing tolerance for the 6.2 V nominal rating and is verified per JEDEC 5 test conditions. The 1N822/TR maintains this range across its full operating temperature span without additional drift beyond its ±0.01 %/°C coefficient.
Does the 1N822/TR support bidirectional operation?
Yes - the 1N822/TR features double-anode construction, meaning both terminals are functionally symmetric and can serve as anode or cathode depending on applied polarity. This allows the 1N822/TR to regulate voltage in either direction, eliminating the need for dual-diode configurations in AC-clamp or dual-rail reference designs.
What package type is used for the 1N822/TR?
The 1N822/TR is housed in a DO-213AA (MELF) glass package - hermetically sealed, cylindrical, and leadless. Dimensions are D = 1.60–1.70 mm diameter and G = 3.30–3.70 mm length. Its axial symmetry and tin/lead finish support reflow-compatible surface-mount assembly.
Is the 1N822/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/159?
The 1N822/TR itself is not a screened MIL-spec part, but it shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the 1N822UR-1 series, which is available in JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS grades per MIL-PRF-19500/159. Customers requiring MIL qualification should specify the UR-1 variant instead of the 1N822/TR.
How does the 1N822/TR handle thermal stress during PCB mounting?
With a coefficient of expansion of ≈+6 ppm/°C, the 1N822/TR requires matching CTE on the mounting surface to avoid mechanical strain. Its DO-213AA glass body is brittle under shear stress, so PCB materials like FR-4 or polyimide with CTE near 12–18 ppm/°C are recommended. Mounting position is unrestricted, but thermal relief patterns must accommodate axial expansion.
