Product details
Overview
1N824/TR from Central Semiconductor is a temperature-compensated, hermetically sealed MELF (DO-213AA) 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 dissipation at +50°C. It serves as a precision voltage reference in analog power supply feedback loops and instrumentation front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the 1N824/TR datasheet, 1N824/TR pinout, 1N824/TR application, or 1N824/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its low tempco, double-anode construction for bidirectional stability, DO-213AA package thermal performance, and MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualification path via related UR-1 variants.
Technical Context
This device uses metallurgically bonded, double-plug construction to achieve stable voltage regulation across -55°C to +100°C. Its double-anode configuration ensures identical electrical specifications under both forward and reverse bias polarities, enabling symmetrical clamping or dual-reference use cases.
The 48 Ω zener impedance at 7.5 mA and ±0.005 %/°C tempco are measured per JEDEC Std No. 5, with derating to 4 mW/°C above +50°C. Reverse leakage is specified at 2 µA @ 3 Vdc, supporting low-power standby regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 5.9–6.5 V @ 7.5 mA - tight tolerance band enables precise feedback setpoint in regulated DC-DC converters |
| Zener Impedance | 48 Ω @ 7.5 mA - low dynamic resistance maintains output voltage stability under load transients |
| Tempco | ±0.005 %/°C - ultra-low drift supports high-accuracy references in industrial sensor signal chains |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ +50°C - sufficient headroom for continuous operation in compact surface-mount layouts |
| Package | DO-213AA (MELF, SOD-80) - hermetic glass seal ensures long-term reliability in harsh environments |
| Reverse Leakage | 2 µA @ 3 Vdc - minimal quiescent current preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (MELF) glass package: cylindrical, leadless, axial symmetry; cathode identified by single black band; no discrete pins-terminals are axial leads with tin/lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current sink during reverse breakdown | Connected to lower-potential node in shunt regulator topology |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current source during reverse breakdown | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed for correct biasing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Double-anode construction | Enables identical zener characteristics under either polarity-supports bidirectional transient suppression or dual-reference designs |
| Hermetic DO-213AA glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and parametric shift over time-critical for aerospace and military-grade longevity |
| Metallurgically bonded junction | Reduces thermal resistance and improves long-term voltage stability under thermal cycling |
| MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualification path | Direct lineage to 1N824UR-1 variants allows drop-in qualification for defense programs requiring JAN/JANTXV screening |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N824UR-1 | MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualified; same electrical specs but screened to JANTXV level | Required for DoD procurement; includes extended temp testing and lot traceability | Select when program mandates MIL-spec compliance and full screening documentation |
| CDLL824 | Same die, DO-213AA package, identical electrical specs; commercial-grade variant | No MIL qualification; suitable for non-defense industrial use with same footprint | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where hermetic reliability is needed but MIL screening is not required |
Compared with 1N824/TR, the 1N824UR-1 adds military screening without altering electrical behavior, while CDLL824 offers identical performance at commercial-grade cost-both retain the DO-213AA thermal and mechanical advantages critical for high-stability reference design.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1N824/TR?
The 1N824/TR has a zener voltage range of 5.9 V to 6.5 V at 7.5 mA test current. This ±5% nominal spread reflects the inherent process variation of the double-plug Zener structure. For tighter tolerance requirements, the 1N824UR-1 variant offers the same voltage range but with full MIL-PRF-19500/159 screening and lot-level characterization data for the 1N824/TR.
Is the 1N824/TR compatible with surface-mount reflow processes?
Yes, the 1N824/TR in DO-213AA (MELF) package is rated for standard SnPb and Pb-free reflow profiles. Its hermetic glass body withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Mounting position is unrestricted, but thermal expansion matching with the PCB substrate is recommended per the stated +6 ppm/°C COE to avoid mechanical stress on the 1N824/TR.
Does the 1N824/TR support bidirectional operation?
Yes-the 1N824/TR features double-anode construction, meaning its zener voltage, impedance, and tempco specifications apply identically under both forward and reverse bias. This allows the 1N824/TR to function as a symmetrical clamp or dual-reference element without polarity constraints, unlike standard single-junction Zeners.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use of the 1N824/TR?
The 1N824/TR is rated for continuous operation from -65°C to +175°C storage and operating temperature. However, power derating begins at +50°C: 500 mW maximum at +50°C, decreasing linearly by 4 mW/°C up to +175°C. At +125°C ambient, the 1N824/TR supports only 200 mW dissipation-designers must verify thermal margins in the final layout.
How does the 1N824/TR differ from the CDLL824 variant?
The 1N824/TR and CDLL824 share identical electrical specifications, DO-213AA packaging, and double-anode construction. The distinction lies in qualification: 1N824/TR is the commercial/trade version, while CDLL824 is Central's internal part number for the same die and assembly-both are interchangeable in non-MIL applications. Neither is a direct replacement for the screened 1N824UR-1 unless MIL compliance is waived.
