Product details
Overview
1N4989US/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 200 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 500 Ω at IZT = 5 mA, and maximum reverse leakage current of 2 μA at VR = 152 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4989US/TR datasheet, 1N4989US/TR pinout, 1N4989US/TR application, or 1N4989US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its military-grade hermetic glass package (E/D-5B), -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050, and Category III internal metallurgical bond - critical for mission-critical analog regulation where field failure is unacceptable.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across wide current (10%–50% of IZM) and temperature (-65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and triple-layer passivation ensure long-term stability under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
The 1N4989US/TR uses a tungsten slug-based E-package (D-5B) with copper end caps and Sn/Pb termination, enabling direct solder attachment without adhesive. Its 200 V Zener voltage and 0.110 %/°C temperature coefficient are specified at IZT = 5 mA, with surge capability up to 1850 A for 8.3 ms square wave.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200 V ±5% at IZT = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for high-voltage biasing or clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - requires heatsinking via end-cap mounting for continuous operation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 500 Ω @ IZT = 5 mA - limits regulation error under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max @ VR = 152 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing paths |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.110 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature environments |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1850 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients in avionics power rails |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.50 V @ 1.0 A - supports use as polarity-sensitive rectifier in low-current auxiliary paths |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed voidless glass E-package ("D-5B") with two axial end-cap terminals: cathode marked by band, anode unmarked. Mounts directly to PCB pads with optional center adhesive spot (0.080″ dia) per package drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Reference terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference for voltage clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and internal corrosion over 20+ year service life in sealed enclosures |
| Category III metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity under shock/vibration >100 g in flight control systems |
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification | Validated for JAN/JANTXV grades - meets screening, testing, and traceability requirements for defense programs |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates handling precautions during board assembly in cleanroom or field depot environments |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Operates without parameter shift up to 100 krad(Si) - suitable for low-earth orbit satellite power supplies |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4989US (bulk) | Identical electrical specs and package; differs only in packaging format (tape-and-reel vs. bulk) | No functional difference; tape-and-reel enables automated SMT placement | Select 1N4989US/TR for high-volume production lines requiring pick-and-place compatibility |
| 1N4989 (axial-leaded) | Same Zener voltage and power rating but TO-204AA (DO-4) axial package; no hermetic glass seal | Suitable for lab prototypes or non-mission-critical industrial use; not qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 | Choose 1N4989US/TR when hermeticity, radiation hardness, or military screening are mandatory |
Compared with 1N4989US (bulk) and 1N4989 (axial), the 1N4989US/TR provides identical regulation performance while enabling automated assembly and retaining full MIL-spec compliance - making it the sole choice for production deployment in space-qualified or flight-critical hardware.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4989US/TR?
The 1N4989US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 200 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. No suffix indicates this standard tolerance; tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require different part number suffixes (C or D) not present in 1N4989US/TR.
Does 1N4989US/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/356 specifications?
Yes, the 1N4989US/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 as a JANTXV-grade device. This includes rigorous screening for temperature cycling, hermeticity, burn-in, and parametric testing - confirmed in the official Microsemi SD44A revision E datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for 1N4989US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current for 1N4989US/TR is 500 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 200 V Zener voltage (IZM = PZ/VZ). This value is validated at TEC = 125 °C and derates linearly to zero at 175 °C per the datasheet's thermal derating curve.
Is 1N4989US/TR radiation-hardened?
Yes, the 1N4989US/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It maintains electrical functionality up to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose - a key requirement for satellite power systems and nuclear instrumentation applications.
What package type does 1N4989US/TR use?
The 1N4989US/TR uses the E-package (also designated D-5B), a hermetically sealed voidless glass surface-mount outline with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. Its dimensions and pad layout are specified in the SD44A datasheet page 4.
