Product details
Overview
1N982B from Microsemi is a silicon 500 mW axial-leaded Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for 75 V nominal Zener voltage at ±5% tolerance, 1.7 mA test current, and 270 Ω dynamic impedance. It operates across –65°C to +175°C and regulates voltage in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N982B datasheet, 1N982B pinout, 1N982B application, or 1N982B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75 V regulation point, 270 Ω Zener impedance at 1.7 mA, –65°C to +175°C operating range, DO-35 mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant e3 variant availability.
Technical Context
The 1N982B functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device with sharp reverse-breakdown knee, defined by JEDEC-standardized Zener characteristics. Its regulation relies on controlled avalanche breakdown, exhibiting a +0.098 %/°C temperature coefficient and minimal capacitance per Figure 3.
It delivers stable 75 V regulation over a broad reverse current range (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM = 5.0 mA), with forward voltage ≤1.1 V at 200 mA and thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead at 3/8″ lead length.
Key Specifications

| Zener Test Current | 1.7 mA - standardized operating point for measuring VZ and ZZT |
| Zener Impedance | 270 Ω at 1.7 mA - determines regulation stability under load current variation |
| Max DC Zener Current | 5.0 mA - maximum continuous reverse current before exceeding 400 mW dissipation at 75°C lead temp |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - supports aerospace, downhole, and high-reliability industrial environments |
| Forward Voltage | ≤1.1 V @ 200 mA - ensures predictable conduction in forward-biased protection paths |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.098 %/°C - quantifies drift rate of 75 V reference with ambient temperature change |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A (ON Semiconductor) | 12 V Zener, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance | Lower voltage, higher power - unsuitable for 75 V use but preferred where 12 V reference and thermal margin are required | Select only if system requires 12 V regulation and >500 mW dissipation capability |
| BZX55C75 (Vishay) | 75 V Zener, 500 mW, DO-35, ±5% tolerance, 300 Ω ZZT @ 1 mA | Nearly identical electrical specs but 300 Ω vs. 270 Ω ZZT; slightly higher leakage at 5 V reverse bias | Drop-in alternative for cost-sensitive designs where 30 mΩ ZZT difference is acceptable |
Compared with 1N982B, the BZX55C75 offers near-identical 75 V regulation and DO-35 fit but with marginally higher dynamic impedance; the 1N4742A serves different voltage-class applications entirely and cannot replace 1N982B in 75 V roles.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N982B?
The 1N982B has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix per JEDEC standard. This tolerance is verified at 1.7 mA test current and 25°C ambient, and applies across its full operating temperature range of –65°C to +175°C.
What package type does the 1N982B use, and what are its mechanical features?
The 1N982B uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded package. It features a cathode band marking, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and weighs 0.2 grams. Mounting clips must be held 0.375–0.500 inches from the body during testing per datasheet Note 2.
Can the 1N982B be used in high-temperature environments such as downhole drilling equipment?
Yes, the 1N982B is rated for operation from –65°C to +175°C and exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its DO-35 glass package and metallurgical construction make it suitable for downhole, aerospace, and other extreme-temperature applications where polymer-packaged alternatives fail.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N982B, and under what conditions?
The 1N982B delivers 500 mW steady-state power at lead temperature <50°C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body. Derating begins above 50°C, reaching 400 mW at 75°C lead temperature. On FR4 board with specified copper pads, max dissipation is 480 mW at 25°C ambient per datasheet Figure 1.
Is there a RoHS-compliant version of the 1N982B, and how is it identified?
Yes, the RoHS-compliant version of the 1N982B is identified by adding the "e3" suffix, resulting in part number 1N982Be3. It uses annealed matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead and meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements while maintaining identical electrical and thermal specifications.
