Product details
Overview
CDLL4125 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 250 Ω maximum Zener impedance, and 8.1 mA maximum Zener current, used for precision voltage regulation in aerospace and industrial power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4125 datasheet, CDLL4125 pinout, CDLL4125 application, or CDLL4125 equivalent, key selection factors include its ±5% Zener tolerance, 35.75 V minimum reverse breakdown voltage, -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range, low-leakage performance (<0.01 µA at 35.75 V), and hermetic glass MELF construction for high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
The CDLL4125 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with metallurgically bonded junction and axial coefficient of expansion (~+6 ppm/°C) matched for stable mounting on compatible substrates. It delivers regulated output under reverse-biased conditions with specified Zener impedance measured using 25 µA AC superimposed on 250 µA DC test current.
Its thermal resistance is 100 °C/W at L = 0 inch, and thermal impedance is 35 °C/W, enabling operation up to 175°C junction temperature with appropriate derating above +125°C ambient - supporting use in high-temperature avionics and downhole instrumentation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V nominal at 250 µA; ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping in reference designs |
| Minimum Breakdown Voltage (VR) | 35.75 V at IR = 0.01 µA; defines reliable turn-on threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 250 Ω max at 250 µA; limits regulation error under varying load current |
| Maximum Zener Current (IZM) | 8.1 mA; sets upper limit for continuous power dissipation without thermal runaway |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4125UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (47 V), identical DO-213AA package, but MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualified with JANTXV screening | Required for defense programs mandating MIL-spec testing and traceability | Select CDLL4125 for commercial high-reliability use; choose 1N4125UR-1 when MIL-qualified documentation and lot traceability are mandatory |
| BZX85C47 | 47 V Zener, ±5% tolerance, but plastic DO-41 package with 200 °C/W thermal resistance and only -65°C to +150°C rating | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where hermeticity and extended temperature are not required | Use BZX85C47 only in non-critical, non-hermetic, lower-temperature applications - not interchangeable in aerospace or downhole designs |
Compared with 1N4125UR-1, CDLL4125 offers identical electrical specs but lacks MIL qualification documentation; versus BZX85C47, CDLL4125 provides superior thermal performance, hermetic reliability, and extended temperature capability - critical for mission-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4125?
The CDLL4125 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 25°C ambient temperature with the device junction in thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is defined per Note 1 in the official Microsemi specification sheet and applies across the full operating temperature range without additional derating.
Is CDLL4125 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, CDLL4125 is designed for surface-mount assembly in its DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package. The leadless, hermetically sealed glass construction supports reflow soldering per standard JEDEC profiles, and its axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) is optimized for compatibility with common PCB substrate materials.
What is the maximum power dissipation for CDLL4125 at +125°C?
The CDLL4125 has a maximum DC power dissipation of 500 mW at an end-cap temperature (TEC) of +125°C. Above this temperature, power must be linearly derated at 10 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at +175°C - consistent with its rated junction temperature limit.
Does CDLL4125 have a cathode band marking?
Yes, CDLL4125 features a visible cathode band on the glass body, indicating the cathode terminal. Per Microsemi documentation, the diode must be operated with the banded (cathode) end at the higher potential to achieve proper Zener breakdown and regulation behavior.
Can CDLL4125 replace CDLL4124 in a 43 V reference design?
No - CDLL4125 is rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage and is not a functional replacement for CDLL4124 (43 V). Substituting CDLL4125 would raise the regulated voltage by ~9%, potentially exceeding downstream component ratings and invalidating system-level calibration. Always verify Zener voltage match before interchange.
