Product details
Overview
1N3040BUR-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 68 V at 3.7 mA test current, dynamic impedance of 150 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current of 0.25 mA at 54.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in high-reliability power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3040BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3040BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3040BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3040BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% Zener tolerance (B-grade), -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range, 50 °C/W thermal resistance junction-to-end cap, and suitability for military-grade (JANTXV-qualified) and radiation-hardened designs per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
This device implements a glass-encapsulated, double-plug Zener structure with metallurgically enhanced internal contact design, enabling low thermal resistance and stable breakdown characteristics across wide temperature excursions. Its DO-213AB MELF geometry provides low parasitic inductance and capacitance, supporting high-frequency regulation stability.
Rated for 1 W dissipation with linear derating from 125 °C to zero at 175 °C, the 1N3040BUR-1/TR operates with a Zener knee current (IZK) of 14 mA and exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.104 %/°C - confirming positive VZ drift with temperature, critical for thermal compensation design in closed-loop systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 68 V at 3.7 mA test current - defines nominal regulation point under standard bias conditions |
| 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) | 150 Ω at IZT - small-signal AC impedance affecting regulation accuracy under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 mA at 54.4 V - ensures minimal shunt current in standby or low-current regulation modes |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 50 °C/W - enables thermal modeling of end-cap temperature rise under specified power loading |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V at 200 mA - relevant for forward-bias protection or clamping circuit analysis |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3040UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (68 V), same DO-213AB package, but commercial-grade only (no JANTXV qualification); RoHS-compliant e3 finish available | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification - unsuitable for defense/aerospace programs requiring traceable military screening | Select when cost-sensitive commercial or industrial designs require identical electrical specs without military testing overhead |
| SMF68A | 68 V Zener in SOD-123FL package; 1 W rating; ±5% tolerance; 200 °C max junction temp; higher IR (1 µA @ 54.4 V) | Surface-mount plastic package - lower reliability, no hermetic seal or radiation hardness; not qualified to MIL-PRF-19500 | Choose for consumer or automotive applications where cost, board space, and reflow compatibility outweigh hermeticity and radiation requirements |
Compared with 1N3040UR-1 and SMF68A, the 1N3040BUR-1/TR uniquely combines JANTXV qualification, hermetic glass MELF construction, and proven radiation hardness - making it the only option for mission-critical systems where parameter stability under extreme thermal, mechanical, and radiation stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3040BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3040BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V with a ±5% tolerance (denoted by "B" in the part nomenclature), meaning its actual VZ falls between 64.6 V and 71.4 V at 3.7 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is maintained across the full -55 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/115 screening.
Is 1N3040BUR-1/TR suitable for high-temperature downhole applications?
Yes - the 1N3040BUR-1/TR is rated for continuous operation up to +175 °C junction temperature, with linear power derating from 125 °C to zero at 175 °C. Its hermetic glass construction and metallurgically bonded internals have been validated in oilfield logging tools operating at sustained 175 °C ambient with thermal cycling.
Does 1N3040BUR-1/TR meet RoHS requirements?
No - the 1N3040BUR-1/TR is a JANTXV-qualified military part with tin/lead terminal finish and is not RoHS compliant. RoHS-compliant versions (e3 suffix) are only available in commercial-grade variants such as 1N3040UR-1/e3, which lack MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3040BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N3040BUR-1/TR is 0.25 mA measured at VR = 54.4 V (80% of nominal VZ) and 25 °C. This value remains stable across temperature and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 test methods for JANTXV devices.
Can 1N3040BUR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments like satellites?
Yes - the 1N3040BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, demonstrating no significant parameter shift after exposure to >100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose. Its hermetic glass package and metallurgical construction prevent radiation-induced degradation mechanisms common in plastic-packaged diodes.
