Product details
Overview
1N3026BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount glass-hermetic Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) package, rated for 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation at end-cap temperature <115°C, with nominal Zener voltage 18 V ±5% (suffix B), 20 Ω Zener impedance at 14 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.5 μA at 13.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3026BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3026BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3026BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3026BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 18 V Zener voltage tolerance, low 0.5 μA leakage at VR = 13.7 V, 750 Ω max Zener impedance at IZK, hermetically sealed MELF construction, and compatibility with RoHS-compliant reflow (260°C/10 s).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating element with sharp Zener breakdown knee, specified for stable regulation across –65°C to +175°C operating temperature range and thermal resistance of 40°C/W junction-to-end-cap. Its metallurgically enhanced internal contact design reduces thermal resistance and improves long-term reliability under sustained power stress.
The 1N3026BUR-1/TR exhibits a typical Zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.075%/°C and specified capacitance per Figure 2, enabling predictable behavior in analog feedback loops and precision bias networks where voltage drift and parasitic capacitance must be controlled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±5% at 14 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W at TEC < 115°C - supports higher continuous power than standard 1 W MELF Zeners |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 750 Ω max at IZT = 14 mA - ensures minimal voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 0.5 μA max at VR = 13.7 V - enables low-power standby regulation without significant quiescent loss |
| Operating Temperature Range | –65°C to +175°C - qualified for aerospace, downhole, and extended-temperature industrial environments |
| Package Type | DO-213AB (MELF glass) - hermetic seal prevents moisture ingress and ensures long-term parametric stability |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - supports use in bidirectional protection or series-pass configurations |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3026B (DO-13 through-hole) | Same electrical specs but axial DO-13 package; 1.0 W power rating; no RoHS e3 option standard | Requires PCB through-hole mounting; unsuitable for high-density SMT lines or automated reflow | Select only when legacy board compatibility or manual assembly mandates axial leads |
| MMBZ5245B (SOT-23) | 18 V ±5%, but 350 mW rating, 22 Ω ZZT, 100 nA IR at 13.7 V; plastic package, non-hermetic | Limited to commercial-temp applications; lacks radiation hardness and long-term hermetic stability | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where size and leakage dominate over reliability and lifetime |
Compared with 1N3026B and MMBZ5245B, the 1N3026BUR-1/TR uniquely combines 1.5 W power, hermetic MELF packaging, and military-grade screening options (MQ/MX/MV prefixes), making it the only choice for high-reliability SMT voltage references requiring >10-year field life without derating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3026BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3026BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix per Note 1 in the datasheet. This tolerance is verified at 25°C with 14 mA test current and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +175°C. The 1N3026BUR-1/TR maintains this specification without additional binning or screening.
Is 1N3026BUR-1/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1N3026BUR-1/TR is RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) and qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with maximum solder temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. Its matte-tin terminations ensure reliable wetting on OSP- and ENIG-finished PCBs, and the glass MELF body withstands thermal shock without cracking or delamination.
Does 1N3026BUR-1/TR have radiation-hardened characteristics?
Yes, the 1N3026BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its hermetic glass construction and metallurgically enhanced contacts provide immunity to total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si) and negligible displacement damage effects, making it suitable for satellite power systems and nuclear instrumentation.
What is the thermal resistance of 1N3026BUR-1/TR, and how does it affect layout?
The 1N3026BUR-1/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance of 40°C/W. When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint (Page 3), junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 120°C/W. To sustain 1.5 W, the end-cap temperature must remain below 115°C-requiring adequate copper area and avoiding nearby heat sources in layout.
Can 1N3026BUR-1/TR be used as a bidirectional transient suppressor?
No-the 1N3026BUR-1/TR is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for forward conduction and reverse Zener breakdown only. Its forward voltage is 1.2 V max at 200 mA, but it lacks symmetric avalanche characteristics or specified reverse recovery parameters required for bidirectional TVS operation. Use dedicated bidirectional TVS devices instead.
