Product details
Overview
CDLL4117 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 25 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 150 Ω maximum Zener impedance, 19.00 V minimum Zener voltage at 15 mA, and −65°C to +175°C junction temperature range - used in precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits in aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4117 datasheet, CDLL4117 pinout, CDLL4117 application, or CDLL4117 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low-leakage reverse current (≤0.01 µA at 19.00 V), thermal resistance (100 °C/W max), MELF package compatibility with high-reliability reflow profiles, and MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification for space-grade designs.
Technical Context
The CDLL4117 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with metallurgically bonded construction and glass-encapsulated DO-213AA case. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides stable regulation under low-current conditions (250 µA IZT) and maintains tight voltage control across −65°C to +175°C ambient extremes.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it features 100 °C/W maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance, axial coefficient of expansion (~+6 ppm/°C) matched to ceramic and Kovar substrates, and hermetic sealing compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/435 Class JANTXV requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4117UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (25 V), identical DO-213AA package, but qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 Class JANTXV with full lot traceability | Required for DoD procurement where UR-1 suffix denotes certified military-grade screening | Select 1N4117UR-1 when formal MIL-spec compliance documentation and lot-level test reports are mandatory |
| BZX84-C24LT1G | 24 V nominal Zener, SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, 100 Ω ZZT, but not hermetically sealed or MIL-qualified | Suitable only for commercial industrial use; lacks radiation tolerance and extended temperature capability | Choose BZX84-C24LT1G only for cost-sensitive terrestrial applications where −65°C to +175°C operation is unnecessary |
Compared with CDLL4117, 1N4117UR-1 offers identical electrical performance with enhanced traceability for defense programs, while BZX84-C24LT1G trades reliability and temperature range for compact size and lower cost in non-mission-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4117?
The CDLL4117 has a nominal Zener voltage of 25 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as specified in Note 1 of the official Microsemi datasheet. This tolerance applies to the base CDLL4117 part number without any suffix; a "C" suffix would indicate ±2%, and a "D" suffix ±1%. The CDLL4117 is tested at 25°C ±3°C with the device junction in thermal equilibrium.
Is CDLL4117 hermetically sealed and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435?
Yes, CDLL4117 is hermetically sealed in a DO-213AA glass package and fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 per the manufacturer's documentation. It meets Class JANTXV screening requirements, including temperature cycling, burn-in, and parameter verification - making CDLL4117 suitable for spaceflight and high-reliability defense applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL4117 and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL4117 is 0.01 µA, measured at a reverse voltage of 19.00 V - which corresponds to the minimum specified Zener voltage (VZ) at 15 mA. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient biasing in always-on monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
Can CDLL4117 be used in surface-mount reflow processes?
Yes, CDLL4117 uses a DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) leadless surface-mount package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles. Its glass body and tin/lead lead finish support peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds. Thermal impedance is 35 °C/W maximum, and its +6 ppm/°C axial CTE minimizes stress during thermal cycling on ceramic substrates.
What is the power derating behavior of CDLL4117 above +125°C?
CDLL4117 has a DC power dissipation rating of 500 mW at TEC = +125°C, with linear derating of 10 mW/°C above that temperature. At +150°C end-cap temperature, its usable power drops to 475 mW; at +175°C, it is 450 mW. This derating curve is defined in Figure 2 of the official datasheet and assumes proper thermal path design to limit junction temperature rise.
