Product details
Overview
CDLL4102 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 8.7 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 200 Ω Zener impedance, and 44 mA maximum Zener current, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4102 datasheet, CDLL4102 pinout, CDLL4102 application, or CDLL4102 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), junction temperature range (–65°C to +175°C), thermal resistance (100 °C/W), low-leakage performance (1.0 µA at 6.61 V), and MELF package compatibility with automated reflow assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, relying on controlled reverse-biased Zener breakdown. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures stable long-term voltage regulation under thermal cycling and high-reliability environments.
The DO-213AA glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing and axial coefficient of expansion (~6 ppm/°C), requiring matched PCB substrate selection. Electrical behavior is specified at 25°C ambient with thermal derating above +125°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.7 V ±5% at IZT = 250 µA - defines stable regulation point for biasing or clamping |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω max - limits output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 µA max at VR = 6.61 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby mode |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 44 mA - sets upper limit for continuous power dissipation (500 mW @ TEC = +125°C) |
| Junction Temp Range | –65°C to +175°C - enables operation in aerospace, downhole, or military-grade thermal environments |
| Package | DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) - surface-mount, hermetically sealed glass case with axial symmetry |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (MELF) package: cylindrical, leadless, hermetically sealed glass body with cathode band marking; no discrete pins - terminals are axial end caps.

|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated output reference point |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4102UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (8.7 V), identical DO-213AA package, but qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 Class JANTXV | Required for defense/aerospace programs mandating military screening and traceability | Select when full MIL-spec compliance and extended reliability testing are contractually required |
| BZX84-C8V2 | Lower Zener voltage (8.2 V), SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, 150 Ω ZZT, not hermetically sealed | Suitable only for commercial-grade, non-hermetic, PCB-space-constrained designs | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical applications where thermal and humidity robustness are secondary |
Compared with CDLL4102, 1N4102UR-1 offers enhanced screening for mission-critical systems, while BZX84-C8V2 trades hermeticity and temperature range for compact size and lower cost-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages and voltage grades.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4102?
The CDLL4102 has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.7 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 250 µA test current and 25°C ambient temperature. This tolerance is inherent to the base CDI type designation; tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require suffixes "C" or "D", which do not apply to the standard CDLL4102 part number.
Is CDLL4102 suitable for surface-mount reflow assembly?
Yes, CDLL4102 is packaged in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34), a leadless, cylindrical glass case explicitly rated for surface-mount reflow soldering. Its hermetic construction and axial symmetry allow reliable placement and solder joint formation using standard SnPb or Pb-free reflow profiles, provided thermal mass and ramp rates comply with Microsemi's recommended guidelines.
What is the maximum power dissipation for CDLL4102 at +125°C case temperature?
CDLL4102 has a DC power dissipation rating of 500 mW at TEC = +125°C. Above this temperature, power must be linearly derated at 10 mW/°C - for example, at +150°C case temperature, maximum allowable dissipation drops to 475 mW. This derating ensures junction temperature remains within the –65°C to +175°C operational limit.
Does CDLL4102 have a defined polarity marking, and how is it oriented in circuit?
Yes, CDLL4102 features a visible cathode band on one axial end of the glass MELF body. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node in reverse-bias Zener operation. The unbanded end is the anode and connects to the lower-potential node - correct orientation is essential to achieve 8.7 V regulation rather than forward conduction.
Can CDLL4102 replace CDLL4101 in a design requiring 8.2 V regulation?
No, CDLL4102 cannot directly replace CDLL4101 because it is rated for 8.7 V nominal Zener voltage versus CDLL4101's 8.2 V. Substituting CDLL4102 would shift the regulation point by +0.5 V, potentially violating downstream voltage margin requirements. For 8.2 V regulation, CDLL4101 or its MIL-spec counterpart 1N4101UR-1 remains the appropriate selection.
