Product details
Overview
1N823/TR from Central Semiconductor (CDI Diodes) is a temperature-compensated, hermetically sealed MELF zener diode with nominal zener voltage 5.9–6.5 V, 7.5 mA test current, 48 Ω zener impedance, ±0.005 %/°C temperature coefficient, and 500 mW power rating at +50°C - used for precision voltage reference in military-grade power supply regulation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N823/TR datasheet, 1N823/TR pinout, 1N823/TR application, or 1N823/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low tempco, low dynamic impedance, high-temperature stability (−65°C to +175°C), and MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualification for ruggedized systems.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the CDLL82x/1N82xUR-1 series of double-plug, metallurgically bonded zener diodes optimized for stable voltage reference under wide thermal and load variation. It features hermetic DO-213AA (MELF/SOD-80/LL34) glass package and tin/lead lead finish.
Its temperature coefficient of ±0.005 %/°C and 48 Ω zener impedance at 7.5 mA reflect design intent for minimal voltage drift across −55°C to +100°C operating range per JEDEC 5, with reverse leakage limited to 2 µA at 3 Vdc.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N823A/TR | Zener impedance reduced to 10 Ω (vs. 48 Ω); same VZ, tempco, and package | Better dynamic regulation in fast-transient power supplies; identical thermal and environmental specs | Select when lower AC impedance is required without changing layout or thermal design |
| CDLL823 | Same electrical specs; non-MIL screened commercial version; identical DO-213AA package | Approved for industrial but not defense/aerospace programs; no JAN/JANTXV qualification | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-military applications requiring same performance envelope |
Compared with 1N823/TR, the 1N823A/TR offers superior dynamic regulation due to 10 Ω zener impedance, while CDLL823 provides identical electrical behavior without MIL-spec screening - enabling trade-offs between transient response, qualification level, and BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage range of the 1N823/TR?
The 1N823/TR has a specified zener voltage range of 5.9 V to 6.5 V at a test current of 7.5 mA. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures compatibility with circuits requiring a nominal 6.2 V reference. The actual measured VZ for any given 1N823/TR unit falls within this band under standard test conditions per JEDEC 5.
Is the 1N823/TR suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, the 1N823/TR is rated for continuous operation from −65°C to +175°C, with power derating starting above +50°C (4 mW/°C). Its hermetic DO-213AA glass package and metallurgical construction enable reliable performance in downhole, engine bay, and avionics applications where junction temperatures exceed 150°C - confirmed by MIL-PRF-19500/159 thermal testing.
Does the 1N823/TR have MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualification?
Yes, the 1N823/TR is explicitly listed in the CDI Diodes documentation as available in JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS versions per MIL-PRF-19500/159. This qualification covers environmental stress screening, lot traceability, and failure analysis protocols required for defense and space programs - distinguishing it from commercial equivalents like CDLL823.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N823/TR and why does it matter?
The 1N823/TR exhibits a zener impedance (ZZT) of 48 Ω at 7.5 mA test current. This value quantifies how much the output voltage varies with changes in current - critical for maintaining regulation accuracy under dynamic load conditions. Lower impedance improves line and load regulation; 48 Ω balances stability and cost for precision reference applications.
How is polarity identified on the 1N823/TR?
The 1N823/TR uses standard diode polarity marking: the banded end is the cathode and must be biased positively relative to the anode to achieve zener breakdown. This is consistent across all DO-213AA-packaged devices from CDI Diodes. Mounting orientation is unrestricted, but thermal management should account for its +6 ppm/°C axial coefficient of expansion.
