Product details
Overview
1N747D/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 3.6 V ±1% tolerance silicon Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, with 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 30 mA and -0.065 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N747D/TR datasheet, 1N747D/TR pinout, 1N747D/TR application, or 1N747D/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military-grade thermal derating behavior, DO-35 terminal polarity marking, RoHS-compliant commercial variant availability, and direct alternatives with documented Zener voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient differences.
Technical Context
The 1N747D/TR operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference device with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V at 30 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting low dynamic impedance (22 Ω) and tight ±1% initial tolerance (denoted by 'D' suffix). Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across -65°C to +175°C operating range.
It features a cathode band marking for unambiguous polarity, requires banded end to be positive during regulation, and maintains minimal capacitance and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 - enabling use in high-reliability analog signal conditioning and biasing where long-term voltage stability under thermal stress is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 3.6 V at IZT = 30 mA - defines precise regulation point for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Zener Tolerance | ±1% - enables tighter system-level voltage margin control vs. standard ±5% variants |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 22 Ω at 30 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N747C/TR | ±2% tolerance (C suffix), same VZ = 3.6 V, identical DO-35 package and thermal specs | Lower cost for non-critical references where ±2% margin suffices | Select when system-level calibration compensates for wider initial tolerance |
| 1N747A/TR | ±5% tolerance (A suffix), otherwise identical electrical and mechanical specifications | Used in legacy designs or cost-sensitive industrial controls with relaxed voltage accuracy | Choose only if downstream regulation or feedback loop corrects for initial VZ variance |
Compared with 1N747C/TR and 1N747A/TR, the 1N747D/TR provides the tightest initial voltage accuracy (±1%), directly reducing calibration effort in high-precision instrumentation and enabling single-point trimming in avionics power monitors - without altering PCB layout or thermal management.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for the 1N747D/TR?
The 1N747D/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V measured at a test current (IZT) of 30 mA. This value is guaranteed within ±1% tolerance at 25°C, and the device maintains stable regulation across its full operating temperature range of -65°C to +175°C. The 1N747D/TR uses a metallurgically bonded junction to preserve this specification under thermal stress.
Is the 1N747D/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N747D/TR is not RoHS compliant, as the 'TR' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging of the standard military-grade part, which retains tin-lead plating. RoHS-compliant versions (e3 suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N747DUR-1), not for JANTXV-qualified 1N747D/TR. Always verify plating specification against orderable part number before procurement.
What does the 'D' in 1N747D/TR signify?
The 'D' in 1N747D/TR indicates ±1% Zener voltage tolerance, per Microsemi's part nomenclature. It follows the JEDEC 1N747 base type and precedes the '-1' metallurgical bond designation and 'TR' tape-and-reel packaging suffix. This tight tolerance distinguishes the 1N747D/TR from ±2% (C) and ±5% (A) variants in the same voltage grade.
How is polarity marked on the 1N747D/TR?
The 1N747D/TR uses a single black cathode band on the glass DO-35 body to indicate polarity. During Zener regulation, the banded (cathode) end must be held at a higher potential than the unbanded (anode) end. This marking is consistent across all Microsemi 1N7xx series diodes and aligns with JEDEC standard orientation for axial-leaded Zeners.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N747D/TR at 75°C ambient?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, the 1N747D/TR's maximum rated power dissipation linearly derates from 400 mW at 55°C ambient to zero at 175°C. At 75°C ambient, its usable power is approximately 333 mW - calculated using the published derating curve in Figure 2 of T4-LDS-0288. Lead-length thermal resistance (250 °C/W) applies only for lead-temperature-limited mounting.
