Product details
Overview
CDLL4131 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount silicon Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/LL34) package, rated for 75 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 µA test current, 700 Ω Zener impedance, and 5.1 mA maximum Zener current - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in aerospace-grade power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4131 datasheet, CDLL4131 pinout, CDLL4131 application, or CDLL4131 equivalent, this part supports low-current, high-stability voltage clamping in harsh-environment analog signal conditioning, DC-DC feedback loops, and MIL-PRF-19500/435-compliant avionics power monitoring systems.
Technical Context
The CDLL4131 operates as a two-terminal voltage-reference device with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse-bias operation. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures stable Zener breakdown under thermal cycling between –65°C and +175°C, with thermal resistance of 100°C/W at L = 0 inch.
Designed for low-current precision use (250 µA test current), it delivers 75 V ±5% nominal Zener voltage with 700 Ω dynamic impedance at 25°C - optimized for applications where leakage current must remain below 0.01 µA at 57 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V ±5% at IZT = 250 µA - defines stable clamping threshold for feedback and protection circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 700 Ω max at 25°C - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.01 µA at VR = 57 V - enables ultra-low-power standby operation without loading reference nodes |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 5.1 mA - sets absolute upper limit for continuous dissipation in regulated mode |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TEC = +125°C - defines thermal envelope for PCB layout and heatsinking |
| Junction Temp Range | –65°C to +175°C - supports operation in extended-temperature military and space environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4135UR-1 | Same 100 V nominal Zener voltage, but higher 1500 Ω ZZT; identical DO-213AA package and MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening | Used where higher voltage tolerance (±5%) and relaxed impedance specs suffice for non-critical biasing | Select when system requires >100 V clamping and can tolerate 3× higher dynamic impedance |
| CDLL4128 | 60 V nominal Zener voltage, 400 Ω ZZT, same 250 µA IZT and DO-213AA package | Preferred for 28 V bus overvoltage protection where tighter 60 V threshold improves fault margin | Choose for legacy 28 V systems needing lower clamping voltage with better impedance than CDLL4131 |
Compared with CDLL4131, 1N4135UR-1 offers higher voltage but degraded regulation fidelity, while CDLL4128 provides tighter 60 V clamping with superior 400 Ω impedance - enabling optimized trade-offs between voltage threshold, stability, and thermal robustness in MIL-spec designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4131?
The CDLL4131 has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 250 µA test current and 25°C ambient. This tolerance is defined per MIL-PRF-19500/435 and applies to all units without suffix; a "C" suffix would indicate ±2%, and "D" would indicate ±1% - neither applies to standard CDLL4131.
Does CDLL4131 require heatsinking in typical operation?
No, CDLL4131 does not require external heatsinking under normal conditions. With a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at +125°C end-cap temperature and thermal resistance of 100°C/W, it remains within safe junction limits at ≤5.1 mA current and ambient temperatures up to +125°C - provided PCB copper area meets minimum thermal pad guidelines per Microsemi design notes.
Can CDLL4131 be used in place of CDLL4128?
No - CDLL4131 (75 V) and CDLL4128 (60 V) serve distinct voltage-clamping roles. Substituting CDLL4131 for CDLL4128 raises the clamping threshold by 15 V, potentially allowing damaging overvoltage in 28 V systems. Their Zener impedances also differ (700 Ω vs. 400 Ω), affecting regulation accuracy in feedback paths.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for CDLL4131 at 57 V?
CDLL4131 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.01 µA at 57 V reverse voltage and 25°C. This ultra-low leakage enables use in high-impedance reference nodes and battery-powered systems where standby current must remain below 10 nA - verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test condition 405.1.
Is CDLL4131 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
CDLL4131 uses tin/lead lead finish and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is 235°C per MIL-STD-202, Method 210, and exposure beyond 240°C risks glass-to-metal seal integrity. For RoHS-compliant designs, Microsemi recommends evaluating the 1N4135UR-1 variant or contacting Microchip for qualified lead-free alternatives.
