Product details
Overview
CDLL4129 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 62 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 500 Ω maximum Zener impedance, and 6.1 mA maximum Zener current, used for precision voltage regulation in aerospace and industrial power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4129 datasheet, CDLL4129 pinout, CDLL4129 application, or CDLL4129 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% Zener tolerance, 100 °C/W thermal resistance at L = 0 inch, -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range, low-leakage operation (<0.01 µA at 47.1 V), and MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification for high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
The CDLL4129 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with metallurgically bonded construction 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 hermetic glass package (DO-213AA) ensures long-term stability and moisture resistance, while thermal derating begins at +125°C ambient (10 mW/°C), supporting operation up to +175°C junction temperature without external heatsinking in low-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 62 V ±5% at 250 µA - defines stable reference point for feedback loops in regulated power supplies |
| Zener Impedance | 500 Ω max at 250 µA - limits output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | <0.01 µA at 47.1 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference networks |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TEC = +125°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in extreme-environment avionics and downhole electronics |
| Package | DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) - provides hermetic sealing and superior thermal performance vs. plastic SMD packages |
Pinout & Package
CDLL4129 is a two-terminal axial device in DO-213AA (MELF) glass package with cathode band marking; no PCB footprint pins - terminals are end-cap contacts requiring symmetric soldering to matching-expansion substrates.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction during regulation |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / Output reference node | Banded end; carries regulated voltage referenced to anode; requires stable thermal path per COE matching guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 Qualified | Meets military screening requirements for reliability, burn-in, and environmental stress testing |
| Hermetic Glass Construction | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over decades in sealed systems |
| Low Test Current Operation | Stable regulation at 250 µA enables ultra-low-power biasing in battery-backed references |
| Matched Thermal Expansion | +6 ppm/°C COE allows direct mounting on alumina or Kovar substrates without mechanical stress failure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4129UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (62 V), identical DO-213AA package, but qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 | Higher screening grade supports mission-critical flight hardware where CDLL4129 may be limited to ground support equipment | Select 1N4129UR-1 when full JANTXV screening and extended lot traceability are required |
| BZX84-C62 | 62 V Zener, SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, but plastic encapsulation and 250 mW rating - not hermetic or high-temp rated | Suitable only for commercial-grade, non-military applications below +150°C ambient | Choose BZX84-C62 only for cost-sensitive, non-hermetic, low-reliability consumer designs |
Compared with CDLL4129, 1N4129UR-1 offers higher reliability assurance via JANTXV screening while sharing identical electrical specs and package; BZX84-C62 trades hermeticity and temperature capability for compact size and lower cost in benign environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4129?
The CDLL4129 has a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 250 µA test current and 25°C ambient temperature. This tolerance is defined per Note 1 in the official Microsemi specification sheet and applies to all CDLL4129 units unless marked with a 'C' (±2%) or 'D' (±1%) suffix - which CDLL4129 does not carry.
Is CDLL4129 hermetically sealed and what package does it use?
Yes, CDLL4129 is hermetically sealed in a DO-213AA glass case - also known as MELF or LL34 - with metallurgically bonded construction. This package provides moisture resistance and long-term parametric stability, distinguishing it from plastic-packaged Zener diodes like the BZX84 series.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL4129 and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL4129 is 0.01 µA, specified at a reverse voltage of 47.1 V (76% of nominal Zener voltage). This low leakage supports high-impedance reference applications where error currents must be minimized, such as in precision sensor bias networks.
Does CDLL4129 meet any military specifications?
Yes, CDLL4129 complies with MIL-PRF-19500/435 for passive semiconductor devices and is qualified for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS levels. Its qualification covers environmental stress screening, burn-in, and electrical testing per the specification, making it suitable for defense and space applications.
What is the thermal resistance and derating behavior of CDLL4129?
CDLL4129 has a maximum junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJC) of 100 °C/W at L = 0 inch. Power dissipation is rated at 500 mW up to +125°C end-cap temperature, then derates linearly at 10 mW/°C above that point - reaching zero dissipation at +175°C junction temperature.
