Product details
Overview
1N755A/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 7.5 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass axial package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, with 4 Ω dynamic impedance at 50 mA and +0.058 %/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in analog power supply reference circuits, overvoltage protection clamps, and biasing networks for military-grade instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N755A/TR datasheet, 1N755A/TR pinout, 1N755A/TR application, or 1N755A/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 7.5 V nominal Zener voltage, 50 mA test current, 4 Ω Zener impedance, -65°C to +175°C operating range, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
The 1N755A/TR operates as a reverse-biased silicon Zener regulator with metallurgical bond construction for enhanced thermal stability and radiation hardness. Its breakdown behavior is characterized at IZT = 50 mA, where VZ = 7.5 V and ZZT = 4 Ω, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.058 %/°C above 5 V.
Designed for high-reliability environments, the device meets MIL-PRF-19500/127 JANTX qualification, supports 0.5 W derated power dissipation (to zero at 175 °C), and maintains stable regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature with minimal capacitance and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N755A-1 | No "TR" tape-and-reel suffix; bulk or ammo pack packaging | Same electrical specs; unsuitable for automated SMT placement | Select 1N755A/TR when using pick-and-place equipment with EIA-296 compliant feeders |
| MMBZ5233BS-7-F | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 7.5 V ±5%, 200 mW rating; 7 Ω Zener impedance at 20 mA | Lower power and higher impedance limit use in high-current references or surge clamping | Choose MMBZ5233BS-7-F only for space-constrained PCBs where DO-35 footprint is unavailable |
Compared with 1N755A/TR, the 1N755A-1 offers identical regulation performance but lacks tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly, while MMBZ5233BS-7-F trades mechanical robustness and power handling for miniaturization-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages and thermal limits.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and test current for the 1N755A/TR?
The 1N755A/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V measured at a test current (IZT) of 50 mA. This value is specified with ±5% tolerance and confirmed per Microsemi T4-LDS-0288 Rev. 1. The device maintains this regulation point across its full -65°C to +175°C operating range, making it suitable for high-stability reference applications where thermal drift must be minimized.
Is the 1N755A/TR qualified to military standards?
Yes, the 1N755A/TR is qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/127, including screening for vibration, shock, temperature cycling, and hermeticity. Its metallurgical bond construction and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 further validate its suitability for aerospace and defense deployments. The "A" suffix denotes ±5% Zener tolerance, and "TR" indicates EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging.
What is the Zener impedance of the 1N755A/TR and why does it matter?
The 1N755A/TR exhibits a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 4 Ω at 50 mA. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load conditions-critical in precision analog references and feedback networks. Lower ZZT directly improves regulation accuracy, especially in circuits where current draw fluctuates, such as sensor excitation or DAC reference buffers.
Does the 1N755A/TR have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
The 1N755A/TR has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.058 %/°C at 25 °C, increasing to +0.058 %/°C at +150 °C per T4-LDS-0288. This behavior is typical for Zeners above 5 V and enables predictable, monotonic VZ drift in high-temperature environments-valuable for compensating other temperature-sensitive components in the same system.
What package type and marking does the 1N755A/TR use?
The 1N755A/TR uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed axial-glass package with cathode indicated by a visible band. It is marked with the full part number "1N755A" and complies with MIL-STD-750 method 2026 for solderability. The "TR" suffix confirms EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging, and weight is approximately 0.2 grams.
