Product details
Overview
1N4983US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, voidless-hermetically-sealed glass Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at TEC = 125 °C, with nominal Zener voltage of 110 V at 12 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and maximum dynamic impedance of 125 Ω at IZT. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability military and aerospace power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4983US/TR datasheet, 1N4983US/TR pinout, 1N4983US/TR application, or 1N4983US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetic glass construction, -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, radiation-hardened behavior per MicroNote 050, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 for JAN/JANTXV grades.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across wide current (10%–50% of IZM) and temperature ranges. Its voidless-glass package with tungsten slugs and copper end caps enables low thermal resistance (10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap) and robust surge handling (1.2 A @ 8.3 ms).
The 1N4983US/TR exhibits a Zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C at IZT, reverse leakage ≤2 μA at 83.6 V, and forward voltage ≤1.50 V at 1.0 A - confirming suitability for bidirectional protection and reference stability in harsh-environment analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 110 V at IZT = 12 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level under standard bias |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load before derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 125 Ω at IZT - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA at VR = 83.6 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance nodes |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in extended-range avionics, downhole, and space-grade systems |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1.2 A (8.3 ms square wave) - enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.50 V at 1.0 A - confirms low-loss conduction in bidirectional protection configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4983US | Same electrical specs and package, but supplied in bulk (not tape-and-reel); no TR suffix | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies | Select 1N4983US/TR for automated SMT placement; choose 1N4983US for bench evaluation or repair kits |
| 1N4982US/TR | 100 V nominal Zener voltage (vs. 110 V), otherwise identical package, power rating, and qualification | Suitable where system margin allows 10 V lower clamping threshold | Use 1N4982US/TR only if design tolerates 100 V regulation; verify stability at reduced VZ under same IZ conditions |
Compared with 1N4983US/TR, the 1N4983US lacks tape-and-reel packaging for SMT line integration, while 1N4982US/TR shifts regulation to 100 V - requiring revalidation of overvoltage thresholds and thermal margin in the target circuit.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4983US/TR?
The 1N4983US/TR has a standard ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at IZT = 12 mA, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 104.5 V and 115.5 V under nominal test conditions. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) require different suffixes (C or D) not present in the TR-marked part number.
Is 1N4983US/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
The 1N4983US/TR features copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, making it incompatible with Pb-free reflow profiles. For RoHS-compliant assembly, Microsemi offers alternative qualified parts - the 1N4983US/TR itself requires traditional 217 °C peak profile with controlled time-above-liquidus to avoid end-cap delamination.
Does 1N4983US/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements?
Yes - the 1N4983US/TR is manufactured to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTXV specifications, including Category III metallurgical bonds, triple-layer passivation, and full screening per MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883. Full qualification data is documented in Microsemi SD44A Rev E.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for 1N4983US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for 1N4983US/TR is 1.2 A at TEC = 125 °C, derived from its 5 W power rating and 110 V nominal voltage (IZM = PD/VZ). This value decreases linearly above 125 °C, reaching zero at 175 °C per the specified derating curve.
Can 1N4983US/TR be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
Yes - the 1N4983US/TR supports bidirectional operation: its forward voltage is rated ≤1.50 V at 1.0 A, allowing use as a low-drop rectifier or clamping diode in series with the Zener function. However, forward conduction must remain within absolute maximum ratings to avoid thermal runaway.
