Product details
Overview
1N3023BUR-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 of 13 V at 19 mA test current, dynamic impedance of 10 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current of 0.25 µA at 10 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or regulation element in high-reliability power supply and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3023BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3023BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3023BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3023BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance (B-grade), -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range, 50 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, and MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification eligibility (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV).
Technical Context
The 1N3023BUR-1/TR operates as a two-terminal, unidirectional Zener regulator with cathode-banded polarity-requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the anode for breakdown conduction. Its glass hermetic seal and metallurgically enhanced internal contact deliver low thermal resistance and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It exhibits a sharp Zener knee at IZK = 19 mA, with ZZK = 700 Ω at 1.9 mA modulation, and maintains stable regulation across -55 °C to +175 °C due to a temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C. Derating begins linearly at 125 °C, reaching zero power at 175 °C per Figure 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V nominal at 19 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W - supports continuous regulation in compact SMT layouts without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA at 10 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current operation in battery-backed systems |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - qualified for aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 50 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper or heatsink via end-cap mounting |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±5% (B-grade) - balances cost and precision for non-critical reference applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB (MELF/LL41), hermetically sealed glass cylindrical body with tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin finish on copper-clad steel terminals. Cathode identified by single black band. Axial coefficient of expansion ≈ +6 ppm/°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Bias must be positive relative to anode to enter Zener breakdown; connects to regulated rail or error amplifier input |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference return path | Connects to system ground or lower-potential node; completes Zener conduction path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in harsh environments |
| Metallurgically bonded junction | Reduces thermal resistance and improves reliability under thermal cycling stress |
| MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification path | Enables use in defense and space programs requiring JAN/JANTX/JANTXV screening |
| Radiation hardness (per MicroNote 050) | Supports operation in high-total-ionizing-dose (TID) environments without derating |
| Non-ESD-sensitive design | Allows handling without special static control beyond standard ESD-safe workstations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3023B-1 (DO-41) | Same electrical specs, but axial-leaded DO-41 package; no surface-mount capability | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density PCBs or automated SMT lines | Select when legacy board rework or hand-soldered prototyping is required |
| MMBZ5243B (SOT-23) | Lower power (0.35 W), smaller footprint, ±5% tolerance, but not hermetically sealed or MIL-qualified | Limited to commercial-grade consumer electronics; not rated for >125 °C or radiation environments | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-military, low-power applications with no reliability certification needs |
Compared with 1N3023B-1 and MMBZ5243B, the 1N3023BUR-1/TR uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 1 W power handling, hermetic reliability, and MIL qualification-making it irreplaceable in mission-critical embedded systems where long-term parametric stability and environmental survivability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3023BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3023BUR-1/TR has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance (denoted by "B" in the part nomenclature), meaning its actual VZ falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V at 19 mA and 25 °C. This tolerance is maintained across the full -55 °C to +175 °C operating range, with temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0285-1.
Is 1N3023BUR-1/TR suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, the 1N3023BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) surface-mount package with solderable matte-tin or tin/lead terminations, qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its 12 mm tape-and-reel option complies with EIA-481-1-A, and it withstands 260 °C for 10 seconds during reflow-making it fully compatible with standard SMT processes used for the 1N3023BUR-1/TR.
Does 1N3023BUR-1/TR meet military specifications?
Yes, the 1N3023BUR-1/TR is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 and available in JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV reliability levels-subject to additional screening including temperature cycling, burn-in, and lot acceptance testing. The base commercial version (1N3023BUR-1/TR) supports qualification upgrade paths, and its hermetic glass construction satisfies the environmental robustness requirements of the specification.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3023BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N3023BUR-1/TR is 0.25 µA at VR = 10 V and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This ultra-low leakage enables use in high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered systems where standby current must remain below 1 µA-confirmed for the exact 1N3023BUR-1/TR variant.
Can 1N3023BUR-1/TR replace 1N3023B-1 in existing designs?
No-while electrically identical, the 1N3023BUR-1/TR uses DO-213AB (MELF) packaging versus the DO-41 axial-leaded package of 1N3023B-1. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision to accommodate the cylindrical SMT footprint and end-cap solder pads. The 1N3023BUR-1/TR is not a drop-in substitute; it demands updated stencil design and placement programming for the 1N3023BUR-1/TR.
