Product details
Overview
1N829AUR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, temperature-compensated Zener reference diode in DO-213AA (MELF) glass package, delivering 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage ±5% at 7.5 mA test current, with ultra-low 0.0005 %/°C temperature coefficient and 10 Ω dynamic impedance - used for precision voltage references in high-stability instrumentation and aerospace power conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the 1N829AUR/TR datasheet, 1N829AUR/TR pinout, 1N829AUR/TR application, or 1N829AUR/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient stability over –55°C to +100°C, low dynamic impedance, RoHS compliance status, and MIL-PRF-19500/159 qualification level.
Technical Context
This device is a bonded-glass, double-plug construction Zener diode with hermetically sealed DO-213AA packaging, optimized for minimal voltage drift across wide temperature ranges. Its metallurgical bond and internal compensation structure enable stable regulation at IZT = 7.5 mA, where dissipation remains below 50 mW and thermal derating begins at 3.33 mW/°C above +25°C ambient.
The 1N829AUR/TR operates with cathode band positive polarity and exhibits ≤2 µA reverse leakage at 3 V, ≤5 mV total voltage deviation from –55°C to +100°C, and typical capacitance ≤100 pF - making it suitable for low-noise, high-PSRR analog reference paths in military-grade and space-constrained systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 5.89–6.51 V at 7.5 mA - ensures tight 6.2 V nominal reference with ±5% initial tolerance for calibration-critical circuits. |
| Temp. Coefficient | 0.0005 %/°C - enables sub-10 ppm/°C drift, critical for metrology-grade voltage standards over industrial temperature range. |
| Zener Impedance | 10 Ω at 7.5 mA - minimizes load-induced output variation, supporting stable regulation under dynamic current demands. |
| Max. Voltage Drift | ±5 mV from –55°C to +100°C - guarantees absolute reference stability without external trimming in sealed modules. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max at 25°C - allows operation up to 70 mA IZM, but optimal stability achieved at ≤7.5 mA (≤50 mW). |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤2 µA at 3 V - ensures negligible error contribution in high-impedance bias networks and precision dividers. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed, axial cylindrical form with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode identified by single black band; polarity requires banded end to be positive relative to opposite terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reference output node | Connected to regulated voltage rail; must be held at higher potential than anode for Zener conduction. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current return path | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; completes bias current loop through series resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature compensation | Active metallurgical design achieves 0.0005 %/°C TC - eliminates need for external thermistors or trimming in Class-S reference designs. |
| Bonded-glass construction | Hermetic DO-213AA seal prevents moisture ingress and parameter shift over 20+ year field life in harsh environments. |
| Double-plug architecture | Reduces thermal EMF and improves long-term voltage stability - validated per MIL-PRF-19500/159 for JANS-level reliability. |
| RoHS-compliant option | e3 marking indicates annealed matte-tin plating - meets commercial-grade environmental requirements without sacrificing solderability or shelf life. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N829UR/TR | Same DO-213AA package and 6.2 V nominal voltage, but 15 Ω Zener impedance vs. 10 Ω for 1N829AUR/TR. | Suitable where tighter impedance is not required; slightly higher output variation under load current changes. | Select 1N829UR/TR when cost sensitivity outweighs need for lowest possible dynamic impedance. |
| LM399H | Monolithic buried-Zener IC with 6.95 V output, oven-controlled (±0.3 ppm/°C), 30x higher power draw, TO-99 metal can. | Used in lab-grade instruments requiring sub-ppm stability; incompatible with MELF footprint or passive biasing. | Choose LM399H only when ultra-low TC (<0.1 ppm/°C) justifies board space, power, and complexity penalties. |
Compared with 1N829UR/TR and LM399H, the 1N829AUR/TR delivers best-in-class TC (0.0005 %/°C) and low impedance (10 Ω) in a compact, passive, RoHS-compliant MELF package - ideal for embedded systems needing MIL-qualified stability without active circuitry.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N829AUR/TR?
The 1N829AUR/TR has a Zener voltage range of 5.89 V to 6.51 V at a test current of 7.5 mA, corresponding to a nominal 6.2 V ±5% tolerance. This specification is measured 15 seconds after applying DC current, per Microsemi T4-LDS-0220-1 Rev. 2. The 1N829AUR/TR achieves this tight tolerance via temperature-compensated bonded-glass construction.
Is 1N829AUR/TR RoHS compliant and what does the "e3" marking indicate?
Yes, the 1N829AUR/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full nomenclature. It features annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and is qualified for commercial applications only. The 1N829AUR/TR is not offered in RoHS-compliant versions for JAN/JANTXV/JANS military grades.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for 1N829AUR/TR?
The 1N829AUR/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –55°C to +175°C. Its voltage stability is guaranteed over –55°C to +100°C, with total Zener voltage deviation limited to ±5 mV across that range. The 1N829AUR/TR uses double-plug construction to maintain performance under thermal cycling stress.
How does the 10 Ω Zener impedance of 1N829AUR/TR affect circuit design?
The 10 Ω dynamic impedance of the 1N829AUR/TR limits output voltage variation to ≤75 mV for a 7.5 mA load step, enabling stable regulation in precision bias networks. Designers must limit operating current to 7.5 mA for optimal TC performance; exceeding this increases impedance and degrades TC. The 1N829AUR/TR's low ZZT supports high-PSRR analog stages without additional filtering.
What qualification levels are available for 1N829AUR/TR and how do they differ from JAN/JANTXV versions?
The 1N829AUR/TR is a commercial-grade part with RoHS compliance (e3) and no military qualification. In contrast, the non-"A" variant 1N829UR/TR supports JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS levels per MIL-PRF-19500/159 - requiring extended screening, lot traceability, and different plating. The 1N829AUR/TR shares identical electrical specs but lacks military test documentation and screening.
