Product details
Overview
1N3043BUR-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 91 V at 2.8 mA test current, dynamic impedance of 69.2 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 73.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in high-reliability power supply and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3043BUR-1 datasheet, 1N3043BUR-1 pinout, 1N3043BUR-1 application, or 1N3043BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% voltage tolerance (B-grade), -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, 50 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant commercial variants, and MIL-PRF-19500/115 qualification options (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, with Zener breakdown engineered for stable regulation across 10 µA to 250 mA operating current range. Its glass MELF construction provides low parasitic capacitance and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, supporting operation in harsh thermal and radiation environments.
The 1N3043BUR-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.108 %/°C for Zener voltage, indicating voltage increases with temperature - critical for thermal drift compensation in reference designs. Its metallurgically enhanced internal contact reduces thermal resistance and improves long-term reliability versus standard axial-leaded equivalents.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V at 2.8 mA test current - defines primary regulation point under standard bias conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W - maximum continuous DC power handling at TEC ≤ 125 °C, derating linearly to zero at 175 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 69.2 Ω at IZT - determines AC regulation stability and output ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 10 µA at 73.7 V - ensures minimal standby power loss and high off-state impedance in clamping applications |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 50 °C/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from junction to end cap, critical for thermal design margining |
| Package Outline | DO-213AB (MELF/LL41) - leadless cylindrical surface-mount form factor enabling high-density PCB layout and low parasitics |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed, cylindrical body with cathode band marking; terminals are metallurgically bonded copper-clad steel ends, solderable 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3043UR-1 (Microchip) | Same nominal VZ (91 V), but DO-41 axial package; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 qualification and hermetic MELF seal | Lower-cost alternative for commercial-grade, non-high-density PCBs where axial mounting is acceptable | Select when board space and reliability requirements permit non-surface-mount, non-hermetic construction |
| BZX85C91 (ON Semiconductor) | 91 V Zener, ±5%, TO-204AA (DO-41); 1.3 W rating; higher leakage (50 µA @ 73 V); not radiation-hardened | General-purpose commercial regulation where radiation tolerance and extreme temperature range are not required | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer or industrial applications with <125 °C max ambient and no radiation exposure |
Compared with 1N3043BUR-1, the 1N3043UR-1 offers identical electrical specs but sacrifices surface-mount compatibility and hermetic reliability, while the BZX85C91 trades radiation hardness and thermal range for higher power rating and broader commercial availability - making the 1N3043BUR-1 optimal for mission-critical, high-temperature, or radiation-prone deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3043BUR-1?
The 1N3043BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 91 V with a ±5% tolerance (denoted by the "B" in the part nomenclature), meaning its actual VZ falls between 86.45 V and 95.55 V at 2.8 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/115 screening and applies across the full qualified temperature range.
Is 1N3043BUR-1 suitable for surface-mount assembly using standard reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1N3043BUR-1 is qualified for surface-mount assembly with a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, compliant with IPC-J-STD-020. Its DO-213AB (MELF) package and matte-tin or tin/lead terminations meet MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability requirements, supporting automated pick-and-place and reflow processes.
Does 1N3043BUR-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N3043BUR-1 exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. While not individually certified per MIL-STD-883, its hermetic glass MELF construction and metallurgical bonding provide proven resilience to total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for low-earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for 1N3043BUR-1?
The 1N3043BUR-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 10 µA at 73.7 V (81% of nominal VZ) and 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in standby mode and high impedance in clamping configurations, contributing to system-level energy efficiency and noise immunity.
Can 1N3043BUR-1 be used in place of axial-leaded 1N3043B-1?
No - the 1N3043BUR-1 is a surface-mount DO-213AB (MELF) variant, while the 1N3043B-1 uses the DO-41 axial package. Though electrically equivalent in VZ, tolerance, and power rating, their mechanical form factors, thermal paths, and mounting methods differ fundamentally; PCB redesign and thermal validation are required for substitution.
