Product details
Overview
1N825/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, 19 Ω zener impedance, ±0.002 %/°C temperature coefficient, and 500 mW power dissipation at +50°C - used for precision voltage reference in analog instrumentation and regulated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N825/TR datasheet, 1N825/TR pinout, 1N825/TR application, or 1N825/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, low dynamic impedance, ultra-low temperature coefficient, high-temperature operation up to +175°C, and MIL-qualified variants (JAN/JANTXV) for aerospace-grade stability.
Technical Context
This device employs metallurgically bonded, double-plug construction to achieve tight voltage regulation and exceptional thermal stability across -65°C to +175°C. Its DO-213AA (MELF/SOD-80/LL34) glass package enables high-reliability surface-mount operation with axial CTE of +6 ppm/°C for matched thermal expansion on PCBs.
The 1N825/TR delivers 19 Ω zener impedance at 7.5 mA, with reverse leakage limited to 2 µA at 3 V, and exhibits a flat temperature coefficient curve optimized near its nominal operating current - critical for low-drift reference designs requiring long-term calibration integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N825A/TR | Zener impedance reduced to 10 Ω at 7.5 mA; same voltage range and TC | Better dynamic regulation in fast transient loads; identical thermal and environmental specs | Select when lower impedance is required without changing layout or thermal design |
| CDLL825 | Same electrical specs; DO-213AA package but non-MIL, commercial-grade screening | No JAN/JANTXV qualification; suitable for cost-sensitive industrial use only | Choose for non-critical applications where MIL traceability and extended screening are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N825/TR, the 1N825A/TR offers improved dynamic regulation via lower impedance, while CDLL825 provides identical performance at lower cost and without military qualification - enabling tiered sourcing based on reliability and compliance requirements.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage range of the 1N825/TR?
The 1N825/TR has a nominal 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 designed for 6.2 V nominal regulation. The actual measured voltage for any given 1N825/TR unit falls within this band under specified test conditions.
Does the 1N825/TR require external heat sinking in standard operation?
No, the 1N825/TR does not require external heat sinking under typical conditions. It is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at +50°C ambient and derates linearly at 4 mW/°C above that temperature. At room temperature and ≤100 mW dissipation, junction temperature rise remains well within safe limits using standard PCB copper area.
Is the 1N825/TR compatible with reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N825/TR in DO-213AA (MELF) package is compatible with standard leaded reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 235°C for ≤60 seconds. Its hermetic glass construction and tin/lead lead finish support robust SMT assembly; however, thermal shock avoidance per J-STD-020 is recommended due to glass-body sensitivity.
How does the temperature coefficient of the 1N825/TR compare to standard zener diodes?
The 1N825/TR features a temperature coefficient of ±0.002 %/°C - over 10× tighter than typical 5% TC zeners and comparable to high-end compensated references. This ultra-low TC is achieved via double-plug construction and process optimization, enabling sub-millivolt drift over -55°C to +100°C - critical for metrology-grade designs.
Can the 1N825/TR be used as a direct replacement for CDLL825 in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N825/TR is electrically and physically identical to CDLL825 - same DO-213AA package, zener voltage, impedance, and temperature coefficient. The key distinction is qualification: 1N825/TR carries JAN/JANTXV screening per MIL-PRF-19500/159, whereas CDLL825 is commercial grade. Layout and schematic remain unchanged.
