Product details
Overview
1N751C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 5.1 V, ±2% tolerance, 500 mW axial-leaded silicon Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N751C-1/TR datasheet, 1N751C-1/TR pinout, 1N751C-1/TR application, or 1N751C-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage at 49 mA, 14 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, ±2% tolerance, -0.030%/°C temperature coefficient at 25 °C, and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining stable 5.1 V regulation across current from 1 mA to 75 mA and temperature from -65 °C to +175 °C. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures low noise, minimal capacitance, and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The 1N751C-1/TR exhibits a dual-signature temperature coefficient: -0.030%/°C at 25 °C and +0.030%/°C at +150 °C, enabling stable regulation across wide thermal ranges. It delivers 50 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at rated power and supports non-sensitive ESD handling per MIL-STD-750 method 1020.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N751A-1/TR | ±5% tolerance (vs. ±2%); same VZ, package, and qualification level. | Acceptable where reference accuracy <±5% suffices; lower cost. | Select 1N751A-1/TR when budget constraints outweigh precision requirements. |
| BZX55C5V1-TR | Commercial-grade only; ±5% tolerance; 500 mW; DO-35; no MIL qualification. | Limited to industrial/commercial systems without reliability or radiation requirements. | Choose BZX55C5V1-TR for cost-sensitive consumer or embedded applications lacking military specs. |
Compared with 1N751A-1/TR and BZX55C5V1-TR, the 1N751C-1/TR uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, JANTX-level qualification, and radiation hardness-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability analog reference designs where accuracy and assurance are co-dependent.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and test current for the 1N751C-1/TR?
The 1N751C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V measured at a test current (IZT) of 49 mA. This value is guaranteed within ±2% tolerance at 25 °C and forms the basis for its use as a precision reference in regulated power supplies and feedback networks. The 1N751C-1/TR maintains this voltage with low dynamic impedance (14 Ω), ensuring stability under varying load conditions.
Is the 1N751C-1/TR qualified to military specifications?
Yes, the 1N751C-1/TR is qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, confirming its suitability for aerospace and defense applications. This qualification covers environmental testing, reliability screening, and process controls beyond commercial standards. The 1N751C-1/TR also meets MIL-STD-750 ESD sensitivity requirements and demonstrates inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
What does the "C" in 1N751C-1/TR indicate?
The "C" in 1N751C-1/TR denotes ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, per Microsemi's part nomenclature. It distinguishes this variant from the ±5% "A" version (1N751A-1/TR) and the ±1% "D" version. The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296, while the "-1" identifies the metallurgically bonded construction. The 1N751C-1/TR retains full JANTX qualification and DO-35 packaging regardless of tolerance grade.
Can the 1N751C-1/TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N751C-1/TR is exclusively packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and is not a surface-mount device. For MELF-style SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the 1N751CUR-1 series in DO-213AA package-but those are distinct part numbers with different markings, qualification levels, and packaging. The 1N751C-1/TR requires through-hole mounting with 0.375 inch lead length for thermal derating compliance.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) and how is it determined?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for the 1N751C-1/TR is 50 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 5.1 V nominal voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 50 °C lead temperature; power derates linearly to zero at 175 °C. The 1N751C-1/TR datasheet specifies IZM with allowance for junction heating and dynamic impedance effects, ensuring safe continuous operation within defined thermal limits.
