Product details
Overview
1N751C/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 and used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N751C/TR datasheet, 1N751C/TR pinout, 1N751C/TR application, or 1N751C/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), dynamic impedance (14 Ω @ 49 mA), temperature coefficient (–0.030%/°C @ 25°C / +0.030%/°C @ +150°C), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
The 1N751C/TR operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference diode with metallurgically bonded construction for stable breakdown characteristics across –65°C to +175°C. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 49 mA, with dynamic impedance measured using 10% rms AC superimposed on DC test current.
It exhibits dual-region temperature coefficient behavior: negative below ~5 V and positive above, with 1N751C/TR specifically rated at –0.030%/°C at 25°C and +0.030%/°C at +150°C - enabling predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 5.1 V ±2% at IZT = 49 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback references. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 14 Ω @ IZT = 49 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation. |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 5 µA @ VR = 2.0 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation PM(AV) | 500 mW @ TL = 50°C (0.375″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous thermal limit in through-hole mounting. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | –0.030%/°C @ 25°C / +0.030%/°C @ +150°C - enables temperature-compensated reference design. |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 250 °C/W - informs thermal design when leads serve as primary heat path. |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.1 V @ IF = 200 mA - relevant for polarity-check or forward-protection use cases. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by color band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in linear regulator ICs or discrete op-amp-based regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing fixed 5.1 V reference point for error amplifier input. Use Value: ±2% tolerance and low dynamic impedance ensure <±10 mV output variation across load and line changes. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from transient overvoltage events on sensor interface lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamping element diverting excess energy to ground when voltage exceeds 5.1 V. Use Value: Fast response and low leakage (<5 µA at 2 V) prevent false triggering while maintaining signal integrity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N751A/TR | ±5% Zener tolerance vs. ±2% for 1N751C/TR; otherwise identical electrical and mechanical specs. | Suitable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost for non-critical references. | Select 1N751A/TR only if system-level calibration or margin analysis permits wider voltage tolerance. |
| BZX55C5V1 | Commercial-grade, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW, DO-35 package; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification. | Applicable in industrial/commercial designs without military reliability requirements. | Choose BZX55C5V1 for cost-sensitive, non-military applications where JANTX traceability is unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N751A/TR and BZX55C5V1, the 1N751C/TR delivers tighter initial accuracy and guaranteed military-grade reliability - critical for uncalibrated references in aerospace power systems where field recalibration is impractical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N751C/TR?
The 1N751C/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a tight ±2% tolerance, verified at IZT = 49 mA and 25°C. This tolerance is defined by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature and is tighter than the ±5% tolerance of the 1N751A/TR variant. The 1N751C/TR maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the 1N751C/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N751C/TR is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" designation in its full military nomenclature and confirmed in Microsemi documentation. RoHS compliance applies to the commercial-grade version only; the JANTX-qualified 1N751C/TR retains tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 but remains compatible with selective Pb-free assembly processes where mixed-technology boards are used.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N751C/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N751C/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated SMT placement despite the device being an axial-leaded DO-35 component. This format supports high-volume manufacturing and reduces handling damage risk. The 1N751C/TR reel contains standard quantities per Microsemi's packaging specification and is compatible with industry-standard feeders.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N751C/TR under typical PCB mounting?
The 1N751C/TR has a maximum average power dissipation of 400 mW when mounted on a PCB at TA = 55°C, derating linearly to zero at 175°C. This value is lower than its 500 mW rating at TL = 50°C (0.375″ lead length) due to reduced thermal conduction in surface-mount-style board attachment. Derating curves are provided in Figure 2 of the T4-LDS-0288 datasheet.
How is polarity identified on the 1N751C/TR?
Polarity on the 1N751C/TR is identified by a single color band on the glass body, which marks the cathode terminal. During Zener regulation, the banded end must be held at a higher potential than the anode (non-banded end). This marking conforms to JEDEC standards and is visible under standard visual inspection; the 1N751C/TR must be oriented accordingly in shunt regulator or clamping configurations.
