Product details
Overview
CDLL4115 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 150 Ω maximum Zener impedance, 16.72 V minimum Zener voltage at 17 mA, and operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +175°C; used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4115 datasheet, CDLL4115 pinout, CDLL4115 application, or CDLL4115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% Zener tolerance, low-leakage performance (≤10 nA at 16.72 V), thermal stability up to +175°C, and compatibility with high-reliability MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening levels.
Technical Context
The CDLL4115 operates as a two-terminal voltage-reference device relying on controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown in a metallurgically bonded silicon junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at 250 µA test current with 150 Ω dynamic impedance, enabling stable regulation under low-current bias conditions typical in sensor excitation and reference divider networks.
Designed for hermetic glass encapsulation in DO-213AA, the CDLL4115 exhibits a thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap) and axial coefficient of expansion (~6 ppm/°C), requiring matched PCB substrate selection to minimize mechanical stress during thermal cycling in avionics and space-grade assemblies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4115UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (22 V), identical DO-213AA package, but screened to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 | Required for programs mandating radiation-hardened or enhanced screening beyond standard CDLL grade | Select 1N4115UR-1 when full MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTXV qualification is contractually required |
| BZX84-C22LT1G | 22 V Zener, SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, but plastic encapsulation and max 150 °C junction temp | Suitable for commercial/industrial designs where hermeticity and extended temperature are not mandatory | Choose BZX84-C22LT1G only for cost-sensitive, non-military applications with ambient < +125°C |
Compared with CDLL4115, 1N4115UR-1 offers higher reliability screening without electrical change, while BZX84-C22LT1G trades hermeticity and temperature range for smaller size and lower cost - making CDLL4115 the sole choice for extended-temperature, high-reliability deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4115?
The CDLL4115 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as specified in Note 1 of the official Microsemi datasheet. This tolerance applies when measured at 25°C ambient with the device in thermal equilibrium. No suffix (e.g., "C" or "D") is present on the CDLL4115 marking, confirming the standard ±5% grade.
Does CDLL4115 meet MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements?
Yes, CDLL4115 is manufactured and tested per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS levels. It is explicitly listed alongside the 1N4099UR-1 through 1N4135UR-1 series in the specification document, confirming its qualification for high-reliability military and aerospace applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL4115?
The CDLL4115 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 nA at a reverse voltage of 16.72 V (the minimum Zener voltage). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects its suitability for ultra-low-power reference and sensing applications.
Can CDLL4115 be used in surface-mount assembly processes?
Yes, CDLL4115 uses the DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) leadless glass package, which is explicitly designated for surface-mount applications. Its dimensions (D: 1.60–1.70 mm, G: 3.30–3.70 mm) and tin/lead lead finish are compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles for high-reliability SMT assembly.
What is the thermal resistance of CDLL4115 and how does it affect layout?
The CDLL4115 has a maximum junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJC) of 100 °C/W at L = 0 inch. This requires careful PCB pad design and substrate COE matching (~6 ppm/°C) to avoid mechanical stress-induced failure during thermal cycling - especially critical in avionics and downhole applications.
