Product details
Overview
1N5989UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 3.6 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 90 mA test current (IZT), 2300 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 15 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5989UR/TR datasheet, 1N5989UR/TR pinout, 1N5989UR/TR application, or 1N5989UR/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (300 °C/W junction-to-ambient), RoHS compliance status, MELF package handling requirements, and regulation stability across -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon-based Zener voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with specified regulation at IZT = 90 mA and VZ = 3.6 V. Its DO-213AA glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing and metallurgical bonding for high reliability, supporting operation up to 175°C junction temperature.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -0.055 %/°C for Zener voltage drift and delivers minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF per Figure 2), making it suitable for noise-sensitive reference applications where parasitic reactance must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.6 V ±5% at 90 mA - defines stable regulation point under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at 25°C ambient - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 2300 Ω at 90 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; higher values imply greater output voltage variation with load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 15 µA at 1.0 V - quantifies off-state conduction; critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables use in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 300 °C/W - determines temperature rise above ambient per watt dissipated on FR4 board |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at 200 mA - relevant for polarity verification and ESD-safe handling during assembly |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) glass package with two end-cap terminals; cathode identified by single black band. No internal leads - terminals are metallized end caps solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to positive supply rail when used as shunt regulator; voltage referenced to anode |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/ground node | Typically tied to system ground or lowest potential; completes regulation loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetically sealed glass MELF | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments |
| Metallurgically bonded construction | Ensures mechanical robustness and thermal cycle reliability exceeding 1000 cycles between -65°C and +175°C |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Enables lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 s without degradation or dewetting |
| Radiation-hardened design | Meets total ionizing dose (TID) performance per MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified systems |
| ESD-insensitive (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >4 kV HBM without parameter shift - simplifies handling and eliminates ESD protection circuitry |
Applications
| Low-Power Voltage Reference | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 3.6 V bias for op-amp input stages or ADC reference buffers in battery-powered IoT sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference establishing precise analog operating point independent of supply variation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5989BTR | Same 3.6 V, 5% tolerance, DO-213AA package, but non-RoHS (tin-lead plating) | Not suitable for lead-free manufacturing; requires SnPb reflow profile | Select only if legacy process compatibility or cost sensitivity outweighs RoHS compliance requirement |
| BZX55C3V6 | 3.6 V, 5% tolerance, DO-35 axial package; higher RθJA (~500 °C/W); no radiation hardness data | Larger footprint; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or radiation-intensive environments | Choose for prototyping or low-volume through-hole designs where MELF handling is impractical |
Compared with 1N5989UR/TR, 1N5989BTR lacks RoHS compliance and requires SnPb soldering, while BZX55C3V6 uses an axial DO-35 package with inferior thermal performance and no documented radiation tolerance - making 1N5989UR/TR the preferred choice for high-reliability, lead-free SMT applications demanding stability and ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N5989UR/TR?
The 1N5989UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 90 mA and lead temperature of 30°C. This tolerance ensures regulation remains within 3.42 V to 3.78 V under specified conditions, supporting precision analog designs requiring predictable clamping or referencing.
Is 1N5989UR/TR RoHS compliant and what plating does it use?
Yes, the 1N5989UR/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), using matte-tin plating on its DO-213AA end caps. This plating supports lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds per JEDEC J-STD-020, and is available only in commercial-grade versions - not in screened military variants.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1N5989UR/TR and how does it derate with temperature?
The 1N5989UR/TR is rated for 0.5 W at 25°C ambient. Power derates linearly above 25°C at 1.67 mW/°C (based on RθJA = 300 °C/W), reaching zero dissipation at 175°C junction temperature. Derating must follow the curve in Figure 1 of T4-LDS-0228-1 to avoid thermal runaway.
Does 1N5989UR/TR have radiation hardness certification and where is it documented?
Yes, the 1N5989UR/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents total ionizing dose (TID) performance for this Zener family. It is not individually certified to MIL-STD-883, but qualifies for space applications based on family-level radiation testing and hermetic glass packaging.
Can 1N5989UR/TR be used in place of axial 1N5989B in existing designs?
No - the 1N5989UR/TR uses a DO-213AA (SOD-80) MELF surface-mount package, while 1N5989B uses DO-35 axial leads. They share identical electrical specs but require PCB layout changes, reflow vs. wave soldering, and different handling equipment. Direct substitution is not mechanically feasible without redesign.
