Product details
Overview
1N3018BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) package, rated for 1 W DC power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage 8.2 V at 31 mA test current, dynamic impedance 4.5 Ω at IZT, and reverse leakage ≤0.5 µA at 6.2 V - used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3018BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3018BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3018BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3018BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), junction temperature range (–55°C to +175°C), thermal resistance (50°C/W), low-leakage performance, and MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification level compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown with sharp knee characteristics confirmed by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its metallurgically enhanced internal contact design ensures stable regulation across –55°C to +175°C and supports high-reliability operation without ESD sensitivity.
The DO-213AB glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing and low parasitic capacitance, enabling use in high-density layouts where axial-leaded DO-41 variants are unsuitable. Axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) requires matched PCB substrate selection to avoid mechanical stress during thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 8.2 V at 31 mA - defines precise regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation PD | 1.0 W - maximum continuous DC power at end-cap temperature ≤125°C, derated linearly to zero at 175°C |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 4.5 Ω at IZT - indicates low AC impedance near regulation knee for stable output under varying load |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 6.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current loss in standby or low-power modes |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +175°C - enables deployment in extended-temperature military and downhole industrial environments |
| Thermal Resistance RθJEC | 50°C/W - quantifies junction-to-end-cap thermal path; critical for thermal design when mounted on heatsinked pads |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.2 V at 200 mA - defines forward conduction threshold; relevant for polarity protection or clamping configurations |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) glass hermetic package: cylindrical body with cathode band marking; terminals are unmarked anode and banded cathode; solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026; weight ≈0.05 g; pad layout A=7.00 mm, B=1.8 mm, C=2.8 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3018B-1 | Same Zener voltage (8.2 V), but DO-41 axial-leaded package; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; higher thermal resistance (~70°C/W) | Suitable only for commercial PCB through-hole assembly; not rated for high-vibration or hermetic environments | Select when cost-sensitive prototyping or legacy through-hole designs require identical electrical specs without surface-mount constraints |
| SMF8.2A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 8.2 V nominal; 1.0 W rating; ±5% tolerance; RoHS-compliant; no military qualification; higher leakage (≤5 µA @ 6.6 V) | Designed for commercial automotive and consumer electronics; lacks radiation hardness and hermetic seal | Choose for high-volume automated assembly where MIL-spec compliance and extreme environmental resilience are not required |
Compared with 1N3018BUR-1/TR, the 1N3018B-1 offers identical regulation but sacrifices surface-mount capability and reliability grading, while SMF8.2A enables compact layout and RoHS compliance at the expense of hermeticity, radiation tolerance, and leakage performance - making 1N3018BUR-1/TR irreplaceable in mission-critical aerospace and defense systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3018BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3018BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V with a ±5% tolerance, corresponding to the "B" suffix in its nomenclature. This means the actual measured VZ at 31 mA test current falls between 7.79 V and 8.61 V across the qualified temperature range, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 test protocols.
Is 1N3018BUR-1/TR suitable for high-temperature applications?
Yes, the 1N3018BUR-1/TR is rated for junction temperatures from –55°C to +175°C and features a thermal resistance of 50°C/W. It maintains regulation stability up to 175°C when properly mounted on thermally optimized pads, making it appropriate for downhole, engine-control, and avionics applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does 1N3018BUR-1/TR have military qualification?
Yes, the "UR" in 1N3018BUR-1/TR denotes the surface-mount MELF package, and the part is available in JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV reliability levels per MIL-PRF-19500/115. The specific qualification level depends on ordering suffix (e.g., 1N3018BUR-1TRJANTXV), and all versions share the same electrical and mechanical specifications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3018BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3018BUR-1/TR is 0.5 µA at VR = 6.2 V and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance reference circuits and contributes to long-term stability in battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems.
Can 1N3018BUR-1/TR be used in RoHS-compliant designs?
RoHS-compliant versions of 1N3018BUR-1/TR are available for commercial-grade units only, marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N3018BUR-1 e3). Military-qualified versions (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV) retain leaded terminations per MIL-PRF-19500/115 requirements and are not RoHS compliant.
