Product details
Overview
1N3037BUR-1 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) package, rated for 1 W DC power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 51 V at 5.0 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and dynamic impedance of 95 Ω at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace and defense power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3037BUR-1 datasheet, 1N3037BUR-1 pinout, 1N3037BUR-1 application, or 1N3037BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification (JANTXV available), low reverse leakage (≤0.25 µA @ 40.8 V), temperature coefficient of +0.103 %/°C, and suitability for high-density, low-parasitic, radiation-hardened designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage across wide current (5.0 mA IZT to 95 mA IZM) and temperature (–55 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its double-plug glass construction and metallurgically enhanced internal contact deliver low thermal resistance (RθJEC = 50 °C/W) and high reliability under thermal cycling stress.
The device exhibits sharp knee characteristics (verified via dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202), with ZZK = 700 Ω near breakdown threshold (IZK), enabling stable regulation even at low bias currents. Its axial COE (~+6 ppm/°C) requires matched PCB substrate selection to minimize mechanical stress during reflow.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3037B-1 (DO-41) | Same electrical specs but axial-leaded DO-41 package; higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 120 °C/W vs. 50 °C/W). | Used in through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades where SMT is not feasible. | Select when manual assembly or compatibility with existing DO-41 footprints is required. |
| SMF51A (SOD-123FL) | Surface-mount but polymer-encapsulated; lower power rating (0.4 W), higher leakage (≤5 µA), no MIL qualification. | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics where cost and size outweigh reliability needs. | Choose only for non-critical, low-cost applications lacking radiation, thermal, or military compliance requirements. |
Compared with 1N3037B-1 and SMF51A, the 1N3037BUR-1 delivers superior thermal performance, hermetic reliability, and military-grade qualification - making it the sole choice for mission-critical, high-temperature, or radiation-exposed Zener regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3037BUR-1?
The 1N3037BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 48.45 V and 53.55 V at 5.0 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is designated by the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 screening requirements.
Is 1N3037BUR-1 qualified for military applications?
Yes, the 1N3037BUR-1 is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 and available in JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV reliability levels. The "UR" in the part number indicates the DO-213AB surface-mount variant, and JANTXV-grade units undergo additional screening including burn-in, thermal shock, and lot acceptance testing per military standards.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for 1N3037BUR-1?
The maximum Zener current for 1N3037BUR-1 is 95 mA at 25 °C ambient, calculated to sustain 1.0 W power dissipation while staying within safe junction temperature limits. At elevated temperatures, this value must be derated linearly starting at 125 °C, reaching zero at 175 °C per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Does 1N3037BUR-1 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - the 1N3037BUR-1 has an axial coefficient of expansion (COE) of approximately +6 ppm/°C, so the PCB substrate (e.g., FR-4, polyimide, or ceramic) must be selected to closely match this value to avoid mechanical stress-induced failure during reflow or thermal cycling. Pad layout per datasheet dimensions (A = 7.00 mm, B = 1.8 mm, C = 2.8 mm) is mandatory for reliable solder joint formation.
How does the hermetic glass seal of 1N3037BUR-1 improve long-term reliability?
The hermetic double-plug glass seal in the 1N3037BUR-1 prevents moisture ingress and atmospheric contamination over decades of operation, eliminating parameter drift caused by oxidation or corrosion. This construction is validated for >10,000 hours of life testing at 125 °C and is essential for systems where field replacement is impossible - such as satellites or deep-well instrumentation.
