Product details
Overview
1N3049BUR-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 160 V ±5%, Zener test current 1.6 mA, and maximum Zener impedance 1100 Ω at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace and industrial power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3049BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3049BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3049BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3049BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 160 V Zener voltage tolerance, low reverse leakage (≤0.5 μA at VR), radiation-hardened glass construction, -65°C to +175°C operating range, and RoHS-compliant e3 suffix availability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown when cathode voltage exceeds anode by ≥160 V. Its metallurgically enhanced internal contact design ensures stable regulation across wide temperature extremes and low thermal resistance (40°C/W junction-to-end-cap).
The DO-213AB MELF package enables high-density mounting with minimal parasitic capacitance (specified in Figure 2), while hermetic glass sealing provides immunity to moisture, contaminants, and ionizing radiation per MicroNote 050 - critical for space-grade and military applications requiring MIL-PRF-19500/115 screening.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 160 V ±5% - defines regulated output voltage under 1.6 mA test current; tight tolerance supports stable reference in precision feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W at TEC < 115°C - enables robust operation in thermally constrained environments without forced cooling. |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 1.6 mA - establishes standardized measurement condition for VZ; ensures consistent regulation behavior across production lots. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1100 Ω at IZT - quantifies dynamic resistance in breakdown region; lower values improve load regulation accuracy. |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 121.6 V - minimizes standby power loss and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C - supports deployment in extreme environments including downhole oil/gas, avionics, and satellite power systems. |
| Package | DO-213AB (MELF) glass - provides hermetic seal, low parasitics, and compatibility with automated SMT placement and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: cylindrical, leadless, hermetically sealed; cathode indicated by single black band; terminals are axial ends - no discrete pins; polarity must be observed during PCB layout (banded end = cathode = positive during Zener operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased configuration requires this terminal at lower potential than cathode. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Voltage regulation output | Provides stabilized 160 V reference when reverse-biased; must be connected to higher-potential node in regulated path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and outgassing - essential for long-term reliability in vacuum or high-humidity environments. |
| Metallurgically enhanced contact | Reduces thermal resistance (40°C/W junction-to-end-cap) and improves surge current handling vs. standard Zeners. |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently qualified per MicroNote 050 - suitable for low-dose-rate space applications without additional shielding or derating. |
| RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating - compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C/10s. |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening options | MQ/MX/MV prefixes enable JAN/JANTX/JANTXV qualification - required for defense and aerospace BOMs. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage reference for pulse-width-controlled bias supply ensuring consistent RF output amplitude. Use Value: Low 0.5 μA leakage at 121.6 V prevents unintended turn-on during long off-periods between radar pulses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3049B (DO-13 through-hole) | Same electrical specs but axial-leaded DO-13 package; 1.0 W power rating; no RoHS e3 option standard. | Requires thru-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated placement. | Select only if legacy board redesign is impractical and thermal derating to 1.0 W is acceptable. |
| SMCJ160A (SMD TVS diode) | 160 V standoff, 200 W peak power, bidirectional clamping; not a precision Zener - higher leakage (5 μA), looser voltage tolerance (±5% min). | Designed for transient suppression, not regulation; lacks stable low-current Zener knee and temperature coefficient spec. | Use only for overvoltage protection - never as a replacement for precision voltage reference function of 1N3049BUR-1/TR. |
Compared with 1N3049B and SMCJ160A, the 1N3049BUR-1/TR uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 1.5 W power handling, hermetic reliability, and tight 160 V ±5% regulation - making it irreplaceable in high-reliability, high-temperature, radiation-aware designs where voltage stability and long-term parametric consistency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3049BUR-1/TR?
The 1N3049BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 160 V with a tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix per Note 1 on page 2 of the datasheet. This tighter tolerance ensures predictable regulation in precision feedback networks where voltage drift must remain within strict limits across temperature and aging.
Is 1N3049BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N3049BUR-1/TR confirms RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, meeting MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 requirements.
Can 1N3049BUR-1/TR be used in radiation-exposed environments?
Yes, the 1N3049BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its hermetically sealed glass construction and metallurgical design provide proven resilience to total ionizing dose (TID) effects - making it suitable for low-earth orbit satellite and nuclear instrumentation applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3049BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N3049BUR-1/TR is 0.5 μA at VR = 121.6 V (76% of nominal 160 V), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance reference paths and minimizes standby power loss.
Does 1N3049BUR-1/TR require heatsinking on FR4 PCB?
No dedicated heatsink is required, but thermal performance depends on PCB layout. When mounted on 1 oz copper FR4 with the recommended footprint, thermal resistance is 120°C/W junction-to-ambient. At 25°C ambient, maximum steady-state power is 1.25 W - exceeding the 1.5 W end-cap rating only if end-cap temperature remains below 115°C.
