Product details
Overview
1N3028BUR-1 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 22 V at 11.5 mA test current, dynamic impedance 23 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current 0.25 mA at 17 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or regulator in high-reliability analog power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3028BUR-1 datasheet, 1N3028BUR-1 pinout, 1N3028BUR-1 application, or 1N3028BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance option, -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, 50 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, and MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification readiness for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a silicon planar Zener structure with double-plug glass hermetic sealing and metallurgically enhanced internal contact design, enabling stable regulation across wide temperature and current ranges. Its breakdown knee is characterized by low dynamic impedance (23 Ω at 11.5 mA) and tightly controlled temperature coefficient (0.093 %/°C).
The DO-213AB MELF package provides low parasitic inductance and capacitance, making it suitable for noise-sensitive regulation and high-frequency transient suppression. Polarity is defined by a cathode band, requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the opposite terminal during Zener operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal at 11.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3028B-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-41 axial-leaded package; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification path | Preferred for prototyping or through-hole legacy designs; not suitable for high-density SMT or high-reliability screening | Select only if board layout requires axial leads or qualification is unnecessary |
| BZX84-C22 | 22 V, 300 mW SOT-23 package; ±5% tolerance; RoHS-compliant; no military qualification or hermetic seal | Used in commercial portable electronics; unsuitable for >125 °C or radiation-exposed environments | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power consumer applications where size and lead-free compliance are primary |
Compared with 1N3028B-1 and BZX84-C22, the 1N3028BUR-1 uniquely combines 1 W power handling, DO-213AB low-parasitic packaging, hermetic sealing, and MIL-PRF-19500 qualification readiness-making it the sole choice for high-reliability SMT Zener regulation where thermal, radiation, and mechanical robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance option available for 1N3028BUR-1?
The 1N3028BUR-1 is offered with ±5% Zener voltage tolerance (denoted by "B" in part nomenclature). This tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 test requirements and applies across the full operating temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C. The 1N3028BUR-1 does not support tighter 2% or 1% tolerances - those are available only in other variants like 1N3028CUR-1 or 1N3028DUR-1.
Is 1N3028BUR-1 qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/115 standards?
The 1N3028BUR-1 is manufactured to meet MIL-PRF-19500/115 requirements and is available in JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV reliability levels upon order. The "UR" suffix indicates surface-mount MELF construction and metallurgical bonding, both required for qualification. Commercial-grade 1N3028BUR-1 units are fully process-qualified and can be screened to military levels per customer specification.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N3028BUR-1 at 125 °C ambient?
At 125 °C case (end-cap) temperature, the 1N3028BUR-1 must be derated linearly from 1.0 W at 125 °C to 0 W at 175 °C per Figure 1 in the datasheet. Therefore, maximum allowable power at 125 °C is 1.0 W; at 150 °C it is 0.5 W. Derating is based on end-cap temperature (TEC), not ambient - proper thermal pad design is essential to maintain TEC ≤ 125 °C.
Does 1N3028BUR-1 have a specified forward voltage rating?
Yes - the 1N3028BUR-1 has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.2 V at 200 mA forward current, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. This value is measured under DC conditions and reflects the diode's anode-to-cathode conduction drop when used in forward-biased configurations such as ESD protection or polarity protection circuits.
Can 1N3028BUR-1 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the 1N3028BUR-1 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering with peak temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its DO-213AB glass MELF package and matte-tin or tin/lead terminations ensure reliable wetting and joint integrity. Thermal profile must avoid thermal shock; ramp rates should comply with IPC-J-STD-020.
