Product details
Overview
1N989B from Microsemi is a silicon 500 mW axial-lead Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for 150 V nominal Zener voltage at ±5% tolerance, 0.85 mA test current, and +0.11 %/°C temperature coefficient. It operates across –65°C to +175°C and delivers stable voltage regulation in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N989B datasheet, 1N989B pinout, 1N989B application, or 1N989B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V Zener voltage, 0.85 mA IZT, 1500 Ω ZZT, 2.4 mA maximum DC Zener current (IZM), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with axial-leaded PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1N989B functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device, operating in reverse breakdown mode with cathode band indicating polarity. Its Zener impedance of 1500 Ω at 0.85 mA reflects moderate dynamic resistance suitable for non-critical biasing and clamping.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.11 %/°C - consistent with higher-voltage Zeners (>100 V) in the 1N957B–1N992B family - and maintains regulation over wide temperature extremes (–65°C to +175°C) without derating below 50°C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 150 V ±5% - defines regulated output voltage under specified test conditions |
| Zener Test Current | 0.85 mA - minimum current required to achieve rated VZ; impacts bias network design |
| Zener Impedance | 1500 Ω @ IZT - determines voltage deviation under load current variation |
| Max DC Zener Current | 2.4 mA - sets upper limit for continuous regulation without exceeding 400 mW dissipation at 75°C |
| Temp Coefficient | +0.11 %/°C - quantifies VZ drift per degree Celsius rise; enables thermal error budgeting |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL < 50°C - specifies absolute max steady-state power at defined lead temperature |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA @ 114 V - ensures minimal off-state current when used as clamp below breakdown |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (DO-204AH), hermetically sealed glass axial-leaded case with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode identified by colored band.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4745A | 16 V Zener voltage, 1 W power rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance | Lower voltage, higher power; unsuitable for 150 V reference but better for 16 V rail clamping | Select only if target regulation voltage is near 16 V and board space allows DO-41 footprint |
| MMBZ5267B | 100 V Zener voltage, SOT-23 surface-mount, 225 mW, ±5% tolerance | Surface-mount form factor, lower voltage, reduced power; incompatible with 150 V requirement | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 100 V regulation suffices and reflow assembly is preferred |
Compared with 1N989B, 1N4745A offers higher power but cannot replace it in 150 V applications, while MMBZ5267B provides SMT convenience at the cost of voltage rating and power capability - neither is a direct substitute, but both serve adjacent voltage tiers in Zener-based designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N989B?
The 1N989B has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with a tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix per JEDEC standard. This tolerance applies at 25°C with 0.85 mA test current and defines the allowable initial variation before thermal or aging effects.
Can 1N989B be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N989B is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and requires through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the MLL989B in DO-213AA (MELF) package, which shares identical electrical specs but different mechanical form.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N989B?
The 1N989B supports a maximum surge current (IZSM) of 12 A for a 1/120 second duration, as specified in the datasheet. This rating applies to square-wave or half-sine wave pulses and enables transient overvoltage clamping in power supply protection circuits.
Does 1N989B require heatsinking in typical applications?
No - the 1N989B is rated for 500 mW at lead temperature <50°C and dissipates only up to 400 mW continuously at 75°C. In standard PCB mounting (FR4, 4 mm² copper pads), its thermal resistance (310°C/W) keeps junction temperature within limits without added heatsinking for IZ ≤ 2.4 mA.
Is 1N989B RoHS compliant?
Yes - the base 1N989B is not RoHS compliant, but the RoHS-compliant version is designated 1N989Be3, where the "e3" suffix indicates annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC standards. Always verify suffix when ordering for compliance-critical programs.
