Product details
Overview
1N753 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 6.2 V ±5% silicon Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass axial-leaded package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, used for precision voltage regulation in military and industrial power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N753 datasheet, 1N753 pinout, 1N753 application, or 1N753 equivalent, key selection factors include its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage at 20 mA, 3 Ω dynamic impedance, +0.045 %/°C temperature coefficient, and 50 mA maximum Zener current under derated conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with metallurgical bonding for thermal stability and radiation hardness. It delivers regulated output across -65°C to +175°C ambient range, with junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 250°C/W and junction-to-ambient of 300°C/W on PCB mounting.
Its Zener breakdown behavior is characterized at IZT = 20 mA, with VR = 3.5 V and IR ≤ 5 µA, and exhibits low capacitance and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 - critical for stable biasing in analog front-ends and sensor excitation circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.2 V at 20 mA test current - defines primary regulation point for reference design |
| Zener Impedance | 3 Ω at 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.045 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature environments |
| Max Zener Current | 50 mA - sets upper limit for continuous regulation without exceeding 400 mW PCB-mounted power rating |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤5 µA at 3.5 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at TL = 50°C (0.375″ lead length) - determines heatsinking requirements for chassis-mount use |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +175°C - supports deployment in aerospace, downhole, and engine-control applications |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package with cathode indicated by band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to regulated output node; must be held positive relative to anode for breakdown conduction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | Same 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage but ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, DO-41 package (larger than DO-35), no military qualification | Commercial-only use; lacks JANTXV screening, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 compliance | Select when cost-sensitive commercial designs require same voltage but do not demand military reliability or hermetic sealing |
| BZX55C6V2 | 6.2 V ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35 package, AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, no military screening or radiation spec | Automotive-grade alternative with automotive qualification but no MIL-PRF-19500/127 validation or temperature range beyond +150°C | Choose for automotive ECUs where extended temperature operation up to +150°C suffices and radiation hardness is not required |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX55C6V2, the 1N753 offers verified JANTXV-level screening, hermetic DO-35 packaging, and documented radiation hardness - making it uniquely suitable for defense, space, and high-reliability industrial applications where long-term parametric stability under extreme stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and test current for the 1N753?
The 1N753 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V measured at a test current (IZT) of 20 mA. This value is specified with ±5% tolerance per the "A" suffix in the part nomenclature and is validated under JEDEC-standard conditions with 20-second stabilization time after current application.
Is the 1N753 suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, the 1N753 supports continuous operation from -65°C to +175°C. Its junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 250°C/W, and power dissipation is derated linearly from 500 mW at 50°C lead temperature to zero at 175°C - enabling use in engine compartments, downhole tools, and avionics bays.
Does the 1N753 have military qualification?
Yes, the 1N753 is qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, including rigorous screening for vibration, shock, temperature cycling, and burn-in. The "-1" suffix in 1N753A-1 explicitly denotes this highest reliability grade, with full traceability and lot-level documentation.
What is the dynamic impedance of the 1N753 and why does it matter?
The 1N753 exhibits a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 3 Ω at 20 mA. This low value ensures minimal output voltage variation during load transients - critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback networks, reference buffers, and precision analog circuits where stability under dynamic current demand is essential.
Can the 1N753 be used in RoHS-compliant designs?
The 1N753A-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions only for commercial-grade variants (marked with "e3" suffix); however, the JANTXV-qualified 1N753A-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750. For RoHS compliance with military reliability, consult Microchip's qualified alternatives or verify latest revision status directly with manufacturer documentation.
