Product details
Overview
1N750A/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 4.7 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 50 mA and -0.043%/°C to +0.025%/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N750A/TR datasheet, 1N750A/TR pinout, 1N750A/TR application, or 1N750A/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its military-grade reliability, low Zener impedance, tight thermal coefficient range, RoHS-compliant commercial variant availability, and axial-leaded DO-35 mounting compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
The 1N750A/TR operates as a reverse-biased silicon Zener regulator with nominal breakdown voltage of 4.7 V at 50 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a dual-signature temperature coefficient (-0.043%/°C at 25°C, +0.025%/°C at +150°C) indicating voltage stability across wide thermal ranges. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures robust junction integrity under thermal cycling.
Rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 50°C lead temperature (derating to zero at 175°C), it supports operation from -65°C to +175°C with 250°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. Reverse leakage is limited to ≤5 µA at 1.5 V, and forward voltage is ≤1.1 V at 200 mA.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | Same 5.1 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance only; 14 Ω ZZT at 49 mA; commercial grade only, no MIL qualification | Lacks JANTX screening, radiation hardness, and extended temp range; unsuitable for defense programs | Select 1N4733A only for cost-sensitive commercial power supplies where MIL specs are not required |
| BZX55C4V7 | 4.7 V ±5%, 100 Ω ZZT at 5 mA; TO-92 plastic package; max 500 mW but derated faster above 75°C | Higher impedance limits regulation accuracy; plastic package lacks hermeticity and radiation tolerance | Choose BZX55C4V7 for consumer-grade board-level references where size and cost outweigh precision and reliability |
Compared with 1N750A/TR, 1N4733A offers identical voltage but lacks military qualification and thermal stability, while BZX55C4V7 trades impedance performance and environmental ruggedness for lower cost and smaller footprint-neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in replaceable due to DO-35 vs. DO-41/TO-92 mechanical mismatch.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for the 1N750A/TR?
The 1N750A/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at IZT = 50 mA and 25°C ambient. Voltage readings are taken 20 seconds after applying the DC test current to ensure thermal stabilization. This tolerance defines the guaranteed regulation window of 4.465 V to 4.935 V under specified conditions.
Is the 1N750A/TR suitable for high-temperature environments like aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N750A/TR is rated for operation from -65°C to +175°C junction temperature and qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127. Its hermetic DO-35 package and internal metallurgical bond support sustained reliability in engine bay, avionics bays, and satellite power systems where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.
Does the 1N750A/TR have RoHS-compliant plating options?
Yes, the 1N750A/TR is available with RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on commercial-grade versions. However, JANTX-qualified units retain traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements. The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296, independent of RoHS status.
How does the temperature coefficient of the 1N750A/TR affect its regulation accuracy?
The 1N750A/TR exhibits a dual-signature temperature coefficient: -0.043%/°C at 25°C and +0.025%/°C at +150°C. This behavior reflects the crossover point near 5.1 V where Zener and avalanche mechanisms balance. In practice, it yields lower net drift over -55°C to +125°C than single-coefficient diodes, improving reference stability in wide-temp systems.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N750A/TR?
The 1N750A/TR datasheet does not specify IZSM (maximum Zener surge current) for this variant. Surge capability must be derived from its 500 mW average power rating and thermal time constants. For non-repetitive transients, safe operation requires limiting peak pulse energy to ≤0.5 W × t, where t is pulse duration in seconds, and ensuring junction temperature remains below 175°C using thermal impedance curves in Figures 3–4 of T4-LDS-0288.
