Product details
Overview
1N3044BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed glass Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) package, rated for 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation at end-cap temperature <115°C, with nominal Zener voltage 100 V ±5%, Zener test current 2.5 mA, and maximum Zener impedance 350 Ω at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace and industrial power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3044BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3044BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3044BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3044BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V Zener voltage tolerance, low reverse leakage (≤0.5 µA at 76 V), radiation-hardened construction, -65°C to +175°C operating range, and RoHS-compliant e3 variant availability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across wide current (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM = 13.5 mA) and temperature (-65°C to +175°C) ranges. Its metallurgically enhanced internal contact design reduces thermal resistance (40°C/W junction-to-end-cap) and improves long-term reliability under thermal cycling.
The device features hermetic double-slug glass construction, nonsensitive ESD behavior, and specified capacitance (see Figure 2). It is not a junction-isolated or planar silicon device but a legacy glass-encapsulated Zener built to MIL-PRF-19500/115 screening standards when ordered with MQ/MX/MV prefixes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at 2.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops in DC-DC converters and voltage references. |
| Maximum Power Dissipation | 1.5 W at TEC < 115°C - supports high-density board layouts without forced cooling in sealed enclosures. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 350 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in analog sensing circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 76 V - enables low-power standby regulation without significant quiescent current penalty. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C - qualified for downhole oil/gas instrumentation and avionics power conditioning where extended thermal margins are mandatory. |
| Package Outline | DO-213AB (MELF) - leadless cylindrical glass body enabling automated placement and minimizing parasitic inductance in RF-bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance | 40°C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink pads or metal-core PCBs for sustained 1.5 W operation. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed, cylindrical, leadless, cathode band marked on one end. Polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener operation). Terminals are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection point in reverse bias | Must be held at higher potential than anode to enable breakdown; critical for correct orientation in voltage clamp topologies. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection point in reverse bias | Reference node tied to system ground or return path; low-inductance layout required to preserve regulation stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and intermetallic degradation - extends lifetime beyond 20 years in sealed military modules. |
| Metallurgically enhanced contact | Reduces thermal resistance by ~30% vs. standard DO-13 equivalents - enables higher continuous power in same footprint. |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently qualified per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for satellite power bus monitoring without additional shielding. |
| Low ESD sensitivity | No handling precautions beyond standard static-safe protocols - simplifies assembly in Class 0 ESD environments. |
| e3 RoHS compliance option | Matte-tin plating meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile - supports lead-free manufacturing without derating or process change. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3044B (DO-13 axial) | Same electrical specs but axial leaded DO-13 package; 1.0 W rating at 25°C ambient; no MELF thermal performance. | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT assemblies. | Select only if legacy through-hole compatibility or manual prototyping is required. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3044BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3044BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 100 V with a tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix per Microsemi documentation. This tolerance is guaranteed at 2.5 mA test current and 25°C ambient. The 1N3044BUR-1/TR does not support tighter tolerances unless ordered with alternate suffixes (e.g., "C" for ±2%), which are not applicable to this specific part number.
Is 1N3044BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N3044BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix, indicating annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC standards. The base part number 1N3044BUR-1/TR includes the "e3" designation, confirming compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU. Lead content is below threshold limits, and solderability meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3044BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3044BUR-1/TR is 0.5 µA at VR = 76 V (76% of nominal Zener voltage), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Microsemi datasheet. This value is measured at 25°C and reflects the device's low-leakage capability essential for high-impedance reference circuits.
Can 1N3044BUR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N3044BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualifies for space applications without additional testing. Its hermetic glass construction and metallurgical design ensure no parametric shift up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for satellite power supervisors and nuclear instrumentation where radiation tolerance is mandatory.
What is the thermal resistance specification for 1N3044BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3044BUR-1/TR has a thermal resistance of 40°C/W junction-to-end-cap and 120°C/W junction-to-ambient when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. This dual specification enables accurate thermal modeling: end-cap measurement supports heatsink integration, while ambient value guides board-level thermal design for convection-cooled systems.
