Product details
Overview
1N6355US/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, voidless-glass MELF Zener diode rated for 200 V nominal Zener voltage at 1.8 mA test current, 0.5 W power dissipation at 150 °C end-cap temperature, 2.1 Ω dynamic impedance at IZ2, and ±5% voltage tolerance-designed for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6355US/TR datasheet, 1N6355US/TR pinout, 1N6355US/TR application, or 1N6355US/TR equivalent, this part serves as a military-qualified (MIL-PRF-19500/533 JANS-level) surface-mount Zener regulator with radiation-hardened construction, ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and stable operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at IZ2 = 1.8 mA and characterized down to IZK = 250 µA. Its low dynamic impedance (2.1 Ω at IZ2) and tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 12.00 V over 10–50% IZM) support stable regulation across wide current and temperature ranges.
The 1N6355US/TR uses a tungsten-slug, voidless-glass hermetic package with copper end caps and tin/lead finish, achieving RθJEC = 21 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap) and RθJA = 240 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4 PCB), enabling reliable thermal performance in conduction-cooled military avionics subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200.0 V nominal at IZ2 = 1.8 mA - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at TEC = 150 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling under end-cap thermal constraint |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.1 Ω at IZ2 = 1.8 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1.8 mA - determines upper limit of stable Zener operating current before thermal runaway risk |
| Junction Temp Range (TJ) | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extreme-environment platforms including space-grade power supplies |
| Reverse Leakage (IR1) | 10 µA max at VR = 152 V, 25 °C - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.110 %/°C - quantifies positive drift rate requiring compensation in precision analog references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6355DUS | Tighter ±1% Zener tolerance vs. ±5% for 1N6355US/TR; identical package, power rating, and temperature range | Required where absolute voltage accuracy >±1 V is mandated (e.g., metrology-grade calibration) | Select 1N6355DUS when tighter initial tolerance justifies higher cost; otherwise 1N6355US/TR suffices for general regulation |
| SMF200A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package (vs. MELF), 200 V standoff, 1 kW surge rating, but only 1 W peak power and no MIL-spec qualification | Suitable for commercial industrial controls but not qualified for aerospace or defense platforms requiring MIL-PRF-19500 screening | Choose SMF200A only for non-military cost-sensitive designs; 1N6355US/TR remains mandatory for JANS/JANTXV programs |
Compared with 1N6355DUS and SMF200A, the 1N6355US/TR uniquely combines MIL-qualified reliability, hermetic MELF packaging, and 200 V regulation in a single component-making it irreplaceable for flight-critical systems where failure is not an option.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N6355US/TR?
The 1N6355US/TR has a standard ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, meaning its nominal 200 V Zener voltage falls within 190 V to 210 V under specified test conditions. Tighter tolerances (±1%, ±2%) are available under alternate part numbers like 1N6355DUS, but the /TR suffix denotes the standard 5% variant.
Is 1N6355US/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533 standards?
Yes, the 1N6355US/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/533 for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS reliability levels. This includes rigorous environmental stress screening, lot acceptance testing, and traceability documentation required for use in U.S. Department of Defense and NASA programs.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature of 1N6355US/TR?
The 1N6355US/TR supports a junction temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap is 21 °C/W, allowing safe operation at full 0.5 W power dissipation up to 150 °C end-cap temperature, with linear derating beyond that point per Figure 2.
Does 1N6355US/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N6355US/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It is qualified for total ionizing dose (TID) environments up to 100 krad(Si) without parameter degradation-making it suitable for low-Earth orbit and deep-space applications.
What package type does 1N6355US/TR use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The 1N6355US/TR uses a hermetically sealed voidless-glass MELF ("D") package with copper end caps and tin/lead finish. RoHS compliance is available only in commercial-grade versions (marked e3); the /TR suffix indicates the standard non-RoHS, military-qualified configuration with Sn/Pb termination.
