5962-8982401PA

The 5962-8982401PA is a military-grade high-precision 5 V series voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices, qualified under Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) specifications for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability industrial systems. Based on the AD586 buried Zener architecture, the device generates a tightly trimmed 5 V output with very low temperature coefficient, excellent long-term drift stability, and low output noise—characteristics essential for precision signal chains operating over extended temperature ranges. The hermetic 8-pin CDIP package provides a sealed, moisture-resistant enclosure that maintains electrical performance under severe thermal cycling, mechanical shock, and vibration, meeting the demands of ruggedized embedded systems.

Typical applications include precision analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter references, flight-critical avionics instrumentation, satellite telemetry and power conditioning modules, and field-calibrated industrial data acquisition terminals where reference accuracy directly governs measurement integrity. As an SMD device carrying the 5962 prefix, this component is procured to stringent MIL-PRF-38535 quality standards and generally carries Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) certification, ensuring full lot traceability, rigorous lot acceptance testing, and a controlled supply chain essential for long-term defense and space programs. Procurement considerations include an extended active lifecycle supported by military drawing maintenance, which significantly reduces obsolescence risk in sustainment programs; however, lead times and minimum order quantities often apply due to the specialized qualification requirements. For design teams, this reference is optimally specified for high-reliability platforms where documented performance, configuration control, and environmental pedigree are non-negotiable.
