Product details
Overview
CDLL4617 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, glass-encapsulated MELF (DO-213AA) Zener diode with nominal 2.4 V zener voltage, 250 µA test current, 1400 Ω zener impedance, 2.0 µA max reverse leakage at 1 V, and 95 mA maximum DC zener current. It operates from –65°C to +175°C and is used for precision low-current voltage reference and regulation in high-reliability aerospace and military power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4617 datasheet, CDLL4617 pinout, CDLL4617 application, or CDLL4617 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% zener tolerance, 100 °C/W thermal resistance at L = 0 inch, axial COE of +6 ppm/°C for matched mounting surface design, and MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification for JANTXV-level reliability.
Technical Context
The CDLL4617 functions as a low-power, temperature-stable voltage reference diode optimized for operation at 250 µA test current. Its 2.4 V nominal zener voltage is specified at thermal equilibrium (25°C ±3°C), with zener impedance measured using 10% 60 Hz AC superimposed on IZT.
Designed for hermetic axial MELF packaging (DO-213AA), it features metallurgically bonded construction, tin/lead lead finish, and polarity marked by cathode band. Thermal derating begins at +125°C (10 mW/°C), supporting operation up to +175°C end-cap temperature.
Key Specifications

| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2.0 µA max at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or sensing paths |
| Max DC Zener Current (IZ) | 95 mA - sets absolute upper limit for continuous conduction without degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4617UR-1 | Same 2.4 V nominal zener voltage and MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTXV spec, but in axial leaded DO-35 package instead of MELF | Requires through-hole PCB assembly; less suitable for automated SMT placement than CDLL4617 | Select when legacy board compatibility or manual repair access is prioritized over surface-mount efficiency |
| CDLL4617C | Identical package and electrical specs except ±2% zener tolerance (vs. ±5% for CDLL4617) | Used where tighter voltage accuracy is required, such as precision calibration circuits | Select CDLL4617C only if system-level error budget demands sub-5% reference uncertainty |
Compared with 1N4617UR-1 and CDLL4617C, the CDLL4617 offers optimal balance of MELF SMT compatibility, JANTXV reliability, and cost-effective ±5% tolerance for general-purpose high-temperature voltage referencing-without requiring PCB redesign or premium tolerance premiums.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4617?
The CDLL4617 has a nominal zener voltage of 2.4 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as defined in Note 1 of the specification sheet. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium conditions at 25°C ±3°C. Tighter tolerances are available in variants: CDLL4617C offers ±2%, and CDLL4617D offers ±1%. The CDLL4617 is not rated for tighter tolerance unless explicitly ordered with the C or D suffix.
Is CDLL4617 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, CDLL4617 is designed for surface-mount use in the DO-213AA (MELF) package, also referenced as SOD-80 or LL34. Its cylindrical glass body and metallized ends support reflow soldering per standard MELF handling guidelines. Unlike axial DO-35 devices, CDLL4617 does not require through-hole mounting or lead forming, making it compatible with automated SMT lines.
What is the maximum operating temperature for CDLL4617?
The CDLL4617 is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +175°C, with power derating beginning at +125°C (10 mW/°C above that point). Its hermetic glass package and metallurgical bonding ensure parameter stability across this full range. At +175°C end-cap temperature, the device maintains functional integrity without exceeding its 500 mW dissipation limit at lower temperatures.
How does the thermal resistance of CDLL4617 affect PCB layout?
The CDLL4617 has a maximum thermal resistance of 100 °C/W at L = 0 inch, meaning junction-to-end-cap temperature rise is directly proportional to power dissipation. For reliable operation, PCB land patterns should maximize copper area adjacent to both terminals and avoid thermal isolation. Matching the +6 ppm/°C axial coefficient of expansion with substrate materials like alumina minimizes thermomechanical stress during cycling.
Does CDLL4617 meet any military specifications?
Yes, CDLL4617 complies with MIL-PRF-19500/435 and is available in JANTXV screening levels. It undergoes rigorous testing including hermeticity, temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric verification per the specification. While CDLL4617 itself is the commercial-grade variant, its identical electrical and mechanical characteristics to the 1N4617UR-1 series confirm its suitability for designs requiring JANTXV-qualified performance when procured with appropriate screening.
