Product details
Overview
1N3031BUR-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 30 V at 8.5 mA test current, dynamic impedance 40 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current 0.25 µA at 22.8 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in high-reliability aerospace, defense, and industrial power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3031BUR-1 datasheet, 1N3031BUR-1 pinout, 1N3031BUR-1 application, or 1N3031BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV options), ±5% voltage tolerance, -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature, 50 °C/W thermal resistance, and radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
This device operates as a shunt-regulating Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee (IZK = 8.5 mA), defined Zener impedance (ZZT = 40 Ω at IZT), and low temperature coefficient (αVZ = 0.098 %/°C). Its double-plug glass hermetic seal and metallurgically enhanced internal contact ensure stable regulation across wide temperature and current ranges.
Designed for high-density PCB layouts, it replaces axial DO-41 variants (e.g., 1N3031B-1) while maintaining JEDEC-compatible electrical behavior. The DO-213AB package enables automated SMT placement and delivers lower parasitic inductance than leaded alternatives, critical for noise-sensitive analog and power-supply feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 30 V nominal at 8.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |
| Power Dissipation PD | 1.0 W - supports continuous operation up to 8.5 mA at 30 V without derating below 125 °C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3031B-1 | Same electrical specs but DO-41 axial-leaded package; no MIL qualification; higher parasitic inductance | Preferred for prototyping or low-frequency lab supplies where SMT not required | Select when board space is unconstrained and manual assembly is acceptable |
| SMF30A | Surface-mount TVS diode (not Zener); 30 V standoff, 48.4 V clamping; unidirectional; 200 W peak power | Used for transient suppression-not precision regulation-due to soft breakdown and higher leakage | Choose only for surge protection; not interchangeable for voltage reference or shunt regulation |
Compared with 1N3031B-1 and SMF30A, the 1N3031BUR-1 uniquely combines MIL-qualified reliability, MELF SMT compatibility, and tight Zener regulation-making it irreplaceable in mission-critical voltage reference roles where stability, radiation tolerance, and thermal robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3031BUR-1?
The 1N3031BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, denoted by the "B" suffix in its 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.
Is 1N3031BUR-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, the 1N3031BUR-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/115 at JANTXV level, making it suitable for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite bus regulation and telemetry reference functions where total ionizing dose (TID) resilience is required.
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for 1N3031BUR-1 before breakdown?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N3031BUR-1 is 0.25 µA when biased at 22.8 V (0.76 × VZ), measured at 25 °C. At higher temperatures or voltages approaching VZ, leakage remains well below 1 µA, supporting high-impedance reference node integrity.
Can 1N3031BUR-1 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N3031BUR-1 is rated for solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds and complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, making it fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles used in high-reliability SMT assembly lines.
How does the DO-213AB package of 1N3031BUR-1 improve performance over DO-41?
The DO-213AB (MELF) package of 1N3031BUR-1 reduces parasitic inductance and capacitance versus DO-41, improves thermal coupling via end-cap conduction (RθJEC = 50 °C/W), and enables automated high-density placement-critical for noise-sensitive regulation in RF and precision analog systems.
