Product details
Overview
1N753D from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 6.2 V ±1% tolerance silicon Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, with dynamic impedance of 3 Ω at 20 mA, reverse current ≤5 µA at 3.5 V, and temperature coefficient of +0.045 %/°C - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military power supplies and analog sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N753D datasheet, 1N753D pinout, 1N753D application, or 1N753D equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 1% Zener voltage tolerance, hermetically sealed DO-35 package, JANTXV qualification, low dynamic impedance, and stable positive temperature coefficient above 5.6 V - critical for high-reliability analog references and regulated power rails.
Technical Context
The 1N753D operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference diode with metallurgically bonded junction, delivering stable 6.2 V regulation across -65°C to +175°C. Its 3 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 20 mA ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients.
It features a positive temperature coefficient (+0.045 %/°C), making it suitable for temperature-compensated reference designs when paired with negative-TC components. Rated for 500 mW at 50°C lead temperature, it derates linearly to zero at 175°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N753A | ±5% Zener tolerance vs. 1N753D's ±1%; same DO-35 package and JANTXV qualification | Lower accuracy reference; acceptable where calibration or trimming is available | Select 1N753A only if system-level calibration compensates for initial voltage error |
| SMZ6.2A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; ±5% tolerance; commercial-grade only; no MIL qualification | Not suitable for military/aerospace use; limited to industrial PCBs with reflow assembly | Choose SMZ6.2A only for cost-sensitive, non-military designs with automated SMT production |
Compared with 1N753A and SMZ6.2A, the 1N753D uniquely delivers 1% tolerance, JANTXV qualification, and hermetic DO-35 packaging - essential for uncalibrated, high-reliability analog references where long-term stability and environmental resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N753D?
The 1N753D has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±1% at 20 mA test current. This tight tolerance is achieved via post-process screening and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0288 datasheet. The 1N753D achieves this accuracy without external trimming, making it suitable for high-precision analog references where calibration is impractical.
Is the 1N753D qualified for military applications?
Yes, the 1N753D is qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, including rigorous screening for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and hermeticity. Its DO-35 glass package and metallurgical bond meet the reliability requirements for airborne, missile, and naval systems. The 1N753D's qualification status is explicitly documented in the "Qualified Levels" section of the T4-LDS-0288 datasheet.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N753D?
The 1N753D is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) of +50°C, with linear derating to zero at +175°C. When mounted on a PCB, its rated power drops to 400 mW at +55°C ambient, per Figure 2 in the datasheet. This thermal profile directly impacts heatsink design and board layout - the 1N753D's 250 °C/W RθJL means 125°C junction rise occurs at just 500 mW with ideal lead conduction.
Does the 1N753D have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
The 1N753D exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.045 %/°C at 25°C, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0288 datasheet. This behavior is typical for Zener diodes above 5.6 V and enables predictable voltage drift compensation in reference circuits. Unlike lower-voltage Zeners, the 1N753D's output increases with temperature - a key factor in designing thermally stable analog subsystems.
What package type does the 1N753D use?
The 1N753D uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed axial-lead glass package, with cathode identified by a colored band. Its dimensions - body diameter 1.40–2.29 mm, body length 3.05–5.08 mm, and lead length 25.4–38.1 mm - are fully specified in the Package Dimensions table on page 6 of the datasheet. This package supports manual or wave soldering and meets MIL-STD-750 method 2026 solderability requirements.
