Product details
Overview
1N3029BUR-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 24 V at 10.5 mA test current, dynamic impedance 25 Ω at IZT, and reverse leakage ≤0.25 µA at 19.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in high-reliability power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3029BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3029BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3029BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3029BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance (B-grade), -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, 50°C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant matte-tin termination option, and MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification availability (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV).
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee and low dynamic impedance, optimized for stable regulation across wide current (IZK = 10.5 mA to IZM = 25 mA) and temperature (-55°C to +175°C) ranges. Its double-plug glass hermetic seal and metallurgically enhanced internal contact structure deliver low thermal resistance and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The DO-213AB MELF package provides low parasitic inductance/capacitance and axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) matched to common PCB substrates. Polarity is defined by cathode band; operation requires banded end positive for Zener regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 24 V ±5% at 10.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance for feedback loop accuracy |
| Power Dissipation PD | 1.0 W - maximum continuous DC power handling at TEC ≤125°C, derated linearly to zero at 175°C |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 25 Ω at IZT - low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.25 µA at VR = 19.2 V - ultra-low leakage preserves regulation stability in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | -55°C to +175°C - supports operation in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
| Thermal Resistance RθJEC | 50°C/W - enables predictable thermal design when mounted on thermally conductive end caps or pads |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.2 V at 200 mA - specifies forward conduction drop for polarity verification or clamping use cases |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) glass hermetic package: cylindrical body with axial leads, cathode identified by black band; dimensions BD = 2.39–2.67 mm, BL = 4.80–5.21 mm; weight ≈0.05 g; RoHS-compliant matte-tin or SnPb terminations available.
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3029UR-1 | Same 24 V Zener voltage and DO-213AB package, but commercial-grade only (no MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification) | Lacks JAN/JANTX/JANTXV screening; suitable for non-military industrial designs with relaxed reliability requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for military screening and full traceability |
| BZX84-C24LT1G | SOT-23 package, 24 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, 80 Ω ZZT - smaller footprint but lower power and higher impedance | Used in space-constrained consumer electronics; not rated for >125°C or radiation environments | Choose for compact PCB layouts where 1 W dissipation and extended temperature range are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N3029BUR-1/TR, 1N3029UR-1 offers identical electrical specs without military qualification overhead, while BZX84-C24LT1G trades power handling and thermal robustness for miniaturization-making the former ideal for high-reliability systems and the latter for cost-optimized consumer designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3029BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3029BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a ±5% tolerance (B-grade), meaning the actual VZ falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V when measured at 10.5 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 (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/commercial).
Is 1N3029BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, 1N3029BUR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions with matte-tin termination (designated by "e3" suffix per nomenclature), but only for commercial-grade units. MIL-qualified variants (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV) retain SnPb terminations to meet legacy military soldering standards and are not RoHS compliant.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3029BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N3029BUR-1/TR is 0.25 µA at VR = 19.2 V and 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error in high-impedance reference circuits and contributes to stable regulation over temperature.
Can 1N3029BUR-1/TR be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, 1N3029BUR-1/TR is rated for junction temperatures from -55°C to +175°C and features a thermal resistance of 50°C/W. Its hermetic glass MELF package and metallurgically bonded construction enable reliable operation in downhole, engine bay, and avionics applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does 1N3029BUR-1/TR require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - the DO-213AB package has an axial coefficient of expansion of +6 ppm/°C, so the mounting surface should match this COE to minimize mechanical stress. Pad layout must follow the recommended dimensions (A = 7.00 mm, B = 1.8 mm, C = 2.8 mm) shown on page 5, and reflow profile must comply with 260°C peak for 10 seconds per MIL-STD-750.
