Product details
Overview
1N3020BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, surface-mount MELF (DO-213AB) Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 10 V at 25 mA test current, 7 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), maximum reverse leakage current 0.25 µA at 7.6 V, and 1 W power dissipation rating. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in high-reliability analog power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3020BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3020BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3020BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3020BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance (B-grade), -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range, metallurgically bonded construction for low thermal resistance, and JAN/JANTXV qualification readiness for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode in reverse-biased breakdown mode, delivering stable regulation across 10–100 mA operating current with minimal voltage drift. Its glass-hermetic DO-213AB package ensures low parasitic capacitance (<2 pF typical) and immunity to moisture-induced parameter shift.
The 1N3020BUR-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.076 %/°C for Zener voltage, enabling predictable thermal tracking in multi-device bias networks. Its 50 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance supports reliable 1 W operation when mounted on thermally optimized copper pads per recommended 7.0 mm × 1.8 mm pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V at IZT = 25 mA - defines nominal regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA at VR = 7.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins at 125 °C |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature avionics, downhole, and engine-control modules |
| Package Outline | DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) - provides axial symmetry, high reliability, and compatibility with automated SMT placement |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±5% (B grade) - balances cost and precision for non-critical reference applications |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: cylindrical, leadless, hermetically sealed; cathode identified by single black band; terminals are metallurgically bonded copper-clad steel ends with tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection in shunt regulator | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection in shunt regulator | Biased positive relative to anode to enable reverse breakdown regulation at 10 V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V, ±5%, DO-41 package, 1 W, but non-hermetic epoxy, max TJ = +175 °C not qualified | Limited to commercial industrial use; unsuitable for aerospace, downhole, or radiation environments | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-military applications where hermeticity and radiation tolerance are unnecessary |
| MMBZ5240B | 10 V, ±5%, SOT-23 package, 0.35 W, higher ZZT (~17 Ω), max TJ = +150 °C | Lower power, smaller footprint, but insufficient thermal margin for sustained 1 W operation | Prefer for space-constrained consumer electronics; avoid where long-term 1 W regulation or extended temperature range is required |
Compared with 1N3020BUR-1/TR, the 1N4740A lacks hermetic sealing and military qualification, while the MMBZ5240B trades power capability and temperature range for miniaturization-making the 1N3020BUR-1/TR uniquely suited for high-reliability, high-power, high-temperature Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3020BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3020BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a ±5% tolerance (B-grade), meaning its actual VZ falls between 9.5 V and 10.5 V at IZT = 25 mA and 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0285-1 Rev. 1 and applies to all units regardless of qualification level (commercial, JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV).
Is 1N3020BUR-1/TR suitable for surface-mount assembly using reflow soldering?
Yes, the 1N3020BUR-1/TR is qualified for surface-mount reflow soldering with peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its DO-213AB glass MELF body and matte-tin or tin/lead terminations ensure reliable wetting and joint integrity when used with standard Pb-free or SnPb paste profiles.
Does 1N3020BUR-1/TR require derating above 125 °C ambient?
Yes, the 1N3020BUR-1/TR must be linearly derated starting at 125 °C case temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C, as shown in Figure 1 of T4-LDS-0285-1. Derating follows RθJEC = 50 °C/W, so at 150 °C case temperature, maximum allowable PD is 0.5 W. This applies regardless of qualification level.
Can 1N3020BUR-1/TR replace 1N3020B-1 in existing DO-41 designs?
No-1N3020BUR-1/TR uses a DO-213AB (MELF) package, while 1N3020B-1 uses DO-41. They are not mechanically interchangeable. The 1N3020BUR-1/TR requires revised PCB land patterns (7.0 mm × 1.8 mm per pad layout on page 5) and SMT placement tooling; it is not a drop-in replacement for through-hole DO-41 variants.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for 1N3020BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3020BUR-1/TR is 0.25 µA at VR = 7.6 V (76% of nominal VZ), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0285-1. This value holds across the full -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and is verified for all qualification levels.
