Product details
Overview
CDLL4626 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, glass-encapsulated MELF (DO-213AA) Zener diode with nominal 5.6 V zener voltage, 250 µA test current, 1400 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, 10 µA maximum reverse leakage at 4.0 V, and 65 mA maximum DC zener current. It operates across –65°C to +175°C and is used for precision voltage reference and low-current regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL4626 datasheet, CDLL4626 pinout, CDLL4626 application, or CDLL4626 equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±5% zener tolerance, 500 mW power rating at TEC = +125°C, axial thermal expansion coefficient of +6 ppm/°C, and compatibility with high-reliability surface-mount or axial mounting on matched-expansion substrates.
Technical Context
The CDLL4626 functions as a silicon planar Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown mode, with metallurgical bonding ensuring stable junction characteristics under thermal cycling. Its DO-213AA glass package enables hermetic sealing critical for MIL-PRF-19500/435 compliance and long-term parameter stability in harsh environments.
Designed for low-current regulation (IZT = 250 µA), it delivers 5.6 V nominal output with 1400 Ω dynamic impedance - optimized for applications where load current remains below 65 mA and ambient temperature excursions exceed commercial ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V ±5% at IZT = 250 µA - defines regulated output voltage under specified test conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1400 Ω max at IZT = 250 µA - indicates voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA max at VR = 4.0 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in off-state operation |
| Max DC Zener Current (IZ) | 65 mA - sets absolute upper limit for continuous reverse conduction without degradation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TEC = +125°C - determines thermal design margin for end-cap mounted configurations |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - supports deployment in extended-range military, avionics, and downhole electronics |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJC) | 100 °C/W max at L = 0 inch - informs heatsinking requirements when mounted directly to substrate |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AA (MELF, SOD-80, LL34), hermetically sealed glass case with tin/lead lead finish. Axial construction with cathode band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reverse-biased reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in zener regulation; must be held ≤ (VZ – 4.0 V) to avoid excessive leakage |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / Reference output node | Marked end is positive during regulation; polarity reversal causes forward conduction (~1.1 V drop at 200 mA) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass encapsulation | Enables MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification and prevents moisture-induced parameter drift over decades |
| Metallurgically bonded junction | Ensures mechanical robustness against thermal shock and vibration in launch-critical systems |
| +6 ppm/°C axial COE | Minimizes stress-induced failure when mounted on alumina or Kovar substrates with matched expansion |
| Low 250 µA test current | Supports ultra-low-power biasing in battery-backed reference circuits without loading source impedance |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Permits operation in proximity to high-temperature power converters or engine-mounted control units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4626UR-1 | Same electrical specs and DO-213AA package; qualified to JAN/JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/435 with full lot traceability | Required for DoD procurement; includes additional screening (burn-in, thermal shock, life test) | Select when full military qualification and certificate-of-conformance documentation are mandatory |
| CDLL4626C | Identical package and curve, but ±2% zener tolerance (C suffix) instead of ±5% | Suitable for higher-accuracy references where tighter regulation is needed without changing layout | Select when system-level calibration budget demands <0.1% reference uncertainty contribution |
Compared with CDLL4626, the 1N4626UR-1 adds military-grade screening at higher cost and longer lead time, while CDLL4626C improves voltage accuracy by 3% absolute but requires validation of tighter tolerance impact on loop stability.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for CDLL4626?
The CDLL4626 has a nominal zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as defined in Note 1 of the official Microsemi specification sheet. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25°C ±3°C and reflects the device's untrimmed manufacturing process. Tighter tolerances are available via suffix variants: CDLL4626C offers ±2%, and CDLL4626D offers ±1%. The CDLL4626 itself does not require external trimming to meet its published specification.
Can CDLL4626 be used in surface-mount applications?
Yes, CDLL4626 is packaged in DO-213AA (MELF) format, which is a leadless cylindrical glass body explicitly rated for surface-mount assembly per Microsemi's design data. Its tin/lead finish and axial symmetry allow compatible reflow or solder-reflow processes, though board-level thermal expansion matching (+6 ppm/°C COE) must be maintained to prevent mechanical stress fracture. It is not intended for through-hole insertion.
What is the maximum power dissipation for CDLL4626 at 150°C end-cap temperature?
At an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 150°C, the CDLL4626 derates linearly from its 500 mW rating at 125°C using the specified 10 mW/°C slope. Thus, allowable power drops to 500 mW – (150 – 125) × 10 mW = 250 mW. This value assumes zero lead length (L = 0 inch); actual dissipation must further account for thermal impedance (ZJX = 35 °C/W max) between junction and mounting surface.
How does the zener impedance of CDLL4626 vary with operating current?
Per Figure 3 in the Microsemi datasheet, CDLL4626 exhibits decreasing zener impedance with increasing test current: it measures 1400 Ω at 250 µA, ~400 Ω at 1 mA, and approaches 20 Ω at 10 mA. This inverse relationship means regulation improves under higher bias, but must be balanced against power dissipation limits and thermal resistance constraints in the final PCB layout.
Is CDLL4626 suitable for use in radiation-intensive environments like space missions?
Yes, CDLL4626 is manufactured to MIL-PRF-19500/435 and shares the same process and qualification flow as the 1N46xxUR-1 series, which are radiation-hardened and widely deployed in satellite power systems. Its hermetic glass package and metallurgically bonded junction provide immunity to total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si) and single-event burnout (SEB) resilience - confirmed in Microsemi's application note AN-1122 for the CDLL46xx family.
