Product details
Overview
1N3042BUR-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 of 82 V at 3.0 mA test current, dynamic impedance of 700 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current of 0.25 µA at 66 V. It serves voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3042BUR-1 datasheet, 1N3042BUR-1 pinout, 1N3042BUR-1 application, or 1N3042BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance (B-grade), -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, 50°C/W thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant option (e3 suffix), and MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification availability (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV).
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and shunt regulator in constant-current-biased configurations. Its breakdown behavior is characterized by a sharp knee (IZK = 3.0 mA), low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 700 Ω), and stable temperature coefficient (αVZ = 0.106 %/°C), enabling predictable regulation across wide temperature excursions.
The DO-213AB glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing and low parasitic capacitance (<0.8 pF typical), supporting high-frequency stability and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. Metallurgical bonding ensures low thermal resistance and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 82 V nominal at 3.0 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard test bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W - maximum continuous DC power at TEC ≤ 125°C before linear derating to zero at 175°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 700 Ω at IZT - determines regulation error under load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA at 66 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance sensing paths |
| Junction Temp Range | -55°C to +175°C - supports operation in extended-temperature avionics, downhole, and military systems |
| Thermal Resistance | 50°C/W (Junction-to-End Cap) - enables thermal design using end-cap mounting for heat sinking |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V at 200 mA - relevant for polarity verification and forward-bias protection circuit checks |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) glass hermetic package: cylindrical body with cathode band marking; axial terminals; no leads; solderable matte-tin or SnPb finish per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3042UR-1 | Same Zener voltage (82 V), same DO-213AB package, but commercial-grade only (no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification) | Lacks JAN/JANTXV screening; unsuitable for defense/aerospace programs requiring traceable reliability data | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs qualification requirements and environmental stress testing is not mandated |
| BZX85C82 | 82 V Zener, ±5% tolerance, but in DO-41 axial package; higher thermal resistance (100°C/W); non-hermetic epoxy | Not suitable for high-humidity, high-vibration, or radiation-exposed environments; requires through-hole PCB layout | Choose only for legacy board redesigns where surface-mount MELF footprint cannot be accommodated |
Compared with 1N3042UR-1 and BZX85C82, the 1N3042BUR-1 uniquely combines MIL-qualified reliability, hermetic MELF packaging, and 50°C/W thermal resistance-enabling use in mission-critical systems where parameter stability under thermal, mechanical, and radiation stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3042BUR-1?
The 1N3042BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 82 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" in the part nomenclature. This means the actual VZ at 3.0 mA test current falls between 77.9 V and 86.1 V across the qualified temperature range, meeting JEDEC registration requirements for the 1N30xx series.
Is 1N3042BUR-1 suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, the 1N3042BUR-1 is rated for junction temperatures from -55°C to +175°C and features a thermal resistance of 50°C/W (junction-to-end cap). Its hermetic glass MELF package and metallurgically bonded construction enable reliable operation in downhole, avionics, and engine-control applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does 1N3042BUR-1 meet MIL-PRF-19500 specifications?
Yes, the 1N3042BUR-1 is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 at JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV levels. The "UR" in the part number denotes the surface-mount MELF configuration, and qualification status is confirmed in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0285-1 datasheet revision 1. Commercial versions (no reliability level prefix) are also available.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3042BUR-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N3042BUR-1 is 0.25 µA measured at VR = 66 V (80% of nominal VZ). This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal loading on high-impedance reference nodes and preserves accuracy in precision analog circuits such as sensor excitation and calibration subsystems.
Can 1N3042BUR-1 be used as a direct replacement for axial 1N3042B-1?
No-while both share identical electrical characteristics and JEDEC type numbering, the 1N3042BUR-1 uses a DO-213AB (MELF) surface-mount package, whereas the 1N3042B-1 is in the DO-41 axial-leaded package. They are functionally equivalent but require different PCB footprints and assembly processes; no mechanical interchangeability exists.
