Product details
Overview
1N3033BUR-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 36 V at 7.0 mA test current, dynamic impedance of 750 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current of 0.25 µA at 28.8 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in high-reliability power supply and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3033BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3033BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3033BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3033BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV options), ±5% voltage tolerance, -55 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and low thermal resistance (50 °C/W) enabling stable regulation under thermal stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, with Zener breakdown engineered for sharp knee characteristics and stable regulation across wide current (7.0 mA IZT to 50 mA IZM) and temperature (-55 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its glass hermetic seal and metallurgically enhanced internal construction ensure 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. It is RoHS-compliant (commercial grade only), solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and marked with cathode band polarity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3033B-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-41 axial-leaded package; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification | Suitable for commercial prototyping or non-military PCBs where through-hole mounting is preferred | Select when SMT footprint is not required and cost-sensitive commercial-grade performance suffices |
| SMF36A | Surface-mount TVS diode (not Zener); 36 V standoff, 52 V clamping; higher surge capability but looser regulation tolerance | Used for transient suppression-not precision regulation-making it unsuitable for reference applications | Choose only for overvoltage protection; never as a drop-in replacement for voltage reference function |
Compared with 1N3033B-1 and SMF36A, the 1N3033BUR-1/TR uniquely combines SMT compatibility, hermetic reliability, MIL qualification, and tight Zener regulation-making it irreplaceable where reference accuracy, radiation tolerance, and thermal stability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3033BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3033BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±5% tolerance, corresponding to the "B" suffix in its nomenclature. This means the actual VZ falls between 34.2 V and 37.8 V at 7.0 mA test current and 25 °C. The tolerance is guaranteed per MIL-PRF-19500/115 and applies across the full qualified temperature range.
Is 1N3033BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N3033BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (per e3 marking), but only in commercial-grade versions. JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV qualified variants use tin/lead terminations and are exempt from RoHS requirements per MIL-PRF-19500/115. Always verify the specific suffix (e3 present or absent) on the reel label or certificate of compliance.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N3033BUR-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current for 1N3033BUR-1/TR is 50 mA, calculated to maintain 1 W power dissipation at the upper end of its ±5% voltage tolerance (37.8 V × 50 mA = 1.89 W, derated to 1 W via thermal limits). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0285-1 Rev. 1.
Can 1N3033BUR-1/TR be used in place of 1N3033B-1?
No-1N3033BUR-1/TR and 1N3033B-1 share identical electrical parameters but differ in package (DO-213AB vs. DO-41) and qualification. The 1N3033BUR-1/TR is surface-mount only and MIL-qualified; substituting it for the axial 1N3033B-1 requires PCB redesign and may over-specify reliability. They are not mechanically interchangeable.
What is the temperature coefficient of Zener voltage (αVZ) for 1N3033BUR-1/TR?
The temperature coefficient of Zener voltage for 1N3033BUR-1/TR is +0.100 %/°C, meaning its VZ increases by approximately 36 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects the device's optimized doping profile for mid-voltage Zeners (24–47 V range).
