Product details
Overview
CDLL5525B from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, glass-encapsulated Zener diode in DO-213AA (MELF/SOD-80/LL34) package, rated for 500mW power dissipation at +125°C, with nominal Zener voltage 6.2V ±5% at 1.0mA test current, maximum Zener impedance 30Ω, and reverse leakage ≤1.0µA at 4.5V. It serves as precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in aerospace-grade analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CDLL5525B datasheet, CDLL5525B pinout, CDLL5525B application, or CDLL5525B equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/437 qualification, ±5% voltage tolerance (B-suffix), low 1.0µA leakage at VR=4.5V, 30Ω dynamic impedance, and operation across –65°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal, cathode-banded voltage regulator diode. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures stable Zener breakdown under thermal cycling, and the hermetic glass package provides immunity to moisture and contaminants required for high-reliability military and space applications.
It is specified per MIL-PRF-19500/437 Level JANTXV, with guaranteed limits across six parameters - VZ, IR, VF, ∆VZ, ZZT, and IZL - enabled by the "B" suffix. Thermal resistance is 100°C/W (junction-to-case), supporting stable regulation up to +125°C ambient with 10mW/°C derating above that point.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.2V ±5% at IZT = 1.0mA - enables precise mid-range voltage reference in analog front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5525BUR-1 | Same electrical specs, but in leadless ceramic package (DO-213AB); slightly higher ZZT (35Ω vs. 30Ω) | Higher thermal conductivity substrate required due to ceramic base; less suited for high-humidity storage | Select when board-level thermal management uses alumina substrates and MIL-STD-883 screening is mandatory |
| CDLL5525C | Identical package and construction, but ±2% Zener tolerance (C-suffix); tighter ∆VZ spec (0.20V vs. 0.25V) | Used where absolute voltage accuracy exceeds ±5%; requires tighter binning and higher cost | Select only if system calibration requires sub-0.1% absolute reference stability over temperature and life |
Compared with 1N5525BUR-1 and CDLL5525C, the CDLL5525B delivers optimal balance of JANTXV reliability, ±5% tolerance, and proven field performance in legacy avionics - making it preferred for sustainment programs where form-fit-function replacement is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for CDLL5525B?
The CDLL5525B has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix per LDS-0037 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under specified test conditions (IZT = 1.0mA, TA = 25°C), and all six electrical parameters - including VZ, IR, ZZT, ∆VZ, IZL, and VF - are fully guaranteed for CDLL5525B units.
Is CDLL5525B suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, CDLL5525B uses the DO-213AA package (also known as MELF, SOD-80, or LL34), which is a leadless, cylindrical glass surface-mount device. It is designed for reflow soldering onto PCB pads with end-cap termination. The package dimensions (D = 1.60–1.70mm, G = 3.30–3.70mm) and tin/lead lead finish comply with standard SMT process requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL5525B?
The maximum reverse leakage current for CDLL5525B is 1.0µA at VR = 4.5V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of LDS-0037 Rev. 1. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power bias networks and ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference divider circuits.
Does CDLL5525B meet military specifications?
Yes, CDLL5525B is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/437 at the JANTXV level, including full screening for temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing. It carries JAN/JANTX/JANTXV markings and is traceable to lot-controlled manufacturing per military standards - confirming its suitability for defense and space applications.
What is the thermal resistance of CDLL5525B?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJEC) of CDLL5525B is 100°C/W maximum at L = 0 inch, as stated in the Thermal Resistance section of LDS-0037 Rev. 1. This value supports thermal design calculations for PCB copper area allocation and ensures safe 500mW operation at +125°C case temperature with appropriate derating above that point.
