Product details
Overview
1N4989US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed, voidless-glass 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 200 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and maximum reverse leakage of 2 μA at 152 V. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 for high-reliability voltage regulation in 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, 200 V Zener voltage stability over temperature, low leakage under high-voltage bias, and compatibility with tape-and-reel automated assembly for space-constrained avionics PCBs.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of surface-mount Zener regulators, using tungsten slugs and triple-layer passivation within a voidless hard-glass case. Its internal Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical integrity under thermal shock and vibration.
It delivers stable 200 V regulation across 10%–50% of IZM (18 mA), with temperature coefficient αVZ = +0.110 %/°C and thermal resistance of 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - enabling reliable operation in conduction-cooled military power supplies without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200 V ±5% at 5 mA - defines precise clamping level for overvoltage protection in 28 V DC bus-derived high-side reference circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact, high-temperature environments without heatsinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 500 Ω @ IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in precision reference applications. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max @ VR = 152 V - guarantees low standby current in high-impedance bias networks for radiation-hardened analog front-ends. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for use in satellite power systems exposed to deep-space thermal cycling and re-entry heating. |
| Thermal Resistance | 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - enables direct thermal coupling to metal-core PCBs or chassis for passive thermal management. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 18 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients per MIL-STD-461 CS115 without degradation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard-glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb, cathode indicated by band, weight 539 mg, and EIA-481-B tape-and-reel compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; must sustain 1.5 V forward drop at 1 A during surge events. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Banded end; connects to regulated node; carries full Zener current and dissipates 5 W under steady-state fault conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination - critical for >15-year mission life in vacuum or humid tropical deployments. |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical continuity between silicon die and tungsten slug under 20,000 g shock - required for launch vehicle electronics. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Provides immunity to ionizing radiation (per MicroNote 050) and prevents surface leakage path formation in high-humidity environments. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands ≥4 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - simplifies handling in cleanroom assembly without special grounding protocols. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification | Validated screening includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing - eliminates need for customer requalification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4989US (no /TR) | Identical electrical specs and package; differs only in packaging format (bulk vs. tape-and-reel). | No functional difference; /TR suffix denotes EIA-481-B compliant tape-and-reel for SMT placement. | Select 1N4989US/TR when automated pick-and-place is required; choose bulk 1N4989US for manual prototyping or repair. |
| 1N4988US/TR | 180 V nominal Zener voltage (vs. 200 V); otherwise identical package, power rating, and qualification level. | Used where 180 V regulation is specified - e.g., legacy radar transmitter bias rails requiring tighter margin control. | Choose 1N4988US/TR only if system design mandates 180 V clamping; 1N4989US/TR is not substitutable due to 20 V voltage mismatch. |
Compared with 1N4988US/TR and bulk 1N4989US, the 1N4989US/TR provides identical Zener performance and military qualification but adds SMT-ready tape-and-reel packaging - enabling first-pass yield improvement in high-volume avionics production without altering circuit design or layout.

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 Electrical Characteristics table at IZT = 5 mA. No suffix indicates this standard tolerance; tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require C or D suffixes not present in this part number. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C.
Is 1N4989US/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes, the 1N4989US/TR is suitable for space applications due to its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050, and operational capability from –65 °C to +175 °C. Its voidless hermetic glass package prevents outgassing and moisture-related failure in vacuum, making it appropriate for LEO and GEO satellite power subsystems where long-term reliability is mandatory.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for 1N4989US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for 1N4989US/TR is 18 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 200 V Zener voltage (IZM = PZ/VZ). This value assumes operation at TEC = 125 °C; derating is linear above that temperature, reaching zero current at +175 °C. The device sustains this current continuously without parameter shift when properly mounted to a thermally conductive surface.
Does 1N4989US/TR have a cathode band marking?
Yes, the 1N4989US/TR uses a visible cathode band on the glass body to identify polarity - consistent with JEDEC-standard marking for Zener diodes. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node in regulation or clamping configurations. No alphanumeric marking is applied per the datasheet; polarity identification relies solely on the band.
What is the thermal resistance of 1N4989US/TR?
The thermal resistance (RθJC) of 1N4989US/TR is 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, as specified for the 1N4954US–1N4996US series. This value reflects conduction through the tungsten slug and copper end cap; effective thermal performance depends on solder joint quality and PCB copper area beneath the end caps. For optimal heat dissipation, mount directly to a large copper pour or metal-core substrate.
