Product details
Overview
1N3050BUR-1 from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed glass Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) package, rated for 1.5 W power dissipation at 25°C, with nominal Zener voltage of 180 V ±5% (suffix B), 1.4 mA test current (IZT), 1200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and maximum reverse leakage of 0.5 μA at 136.8 V (VR = 0.75 × VZ). It serves voltage regulation in high-reliability power supply feedback loops and precision reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3050BUR-1 datasheet, 1N3050BUR-1 pinout, 1N3050BUR-1 application, or 1N3050BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 180 V Zener voltage tolerance, 1.5 W surface-mount power rating, DO-213AB thermal resistance (120 °C/W on FR4), low leakage (<0.5 μA), and radiation-hardened hermetic glass construction suitable for aerospace and industrial environments.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across wide current (1.4 mA IZT to 7.35 mA IZM) and temperature (–65°C to +175°C) ranges. Its metallurgically enhanced internal contact design reduces thermal resistance and improves long-term stability under thermal cycling.
The device features a double-slug glass MELF structure with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, cathode band marking, and specified capacitance per Figure 2. It is not a junction-isolated semiconductor but a bulk Zener with sharp knee characteristics verified per MicroNote 202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 180 V ±5% - defines regulated output voltage in feedback networks and precision references |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W at 25°C ambient - supports higher continuous regulation load than standard 1 W Zeners |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 1.4 mA - establishes stable operating point for voltage regulation accuracy and impedance measurement |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1200 Ω @ IZT - indicates voltage variation under dynamic load changes; lower values improve regulation fidelity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA @ 136.8 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in extended-range industrial, aerospace, and downhole applications |
| Thermal Resistance | 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 - dictates PCB copper area and heatsinking requirements for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB (Glass MELF), hermetically sealed, axial-symmetric cylindrical body with cathode band marking. Dimensions: A = 2.39–2.66 mm (diameter), B = 4.80–5.20 mm (length), C = 0.41–0.55 mm (band width).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal | Banded end; must be held at higher potential than anode to enter breakdown; defines regulated voltage node in shunt configuration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3050B (DO-13) | Same electrical specs but axial-leaded DO-13 package; 1.0 W rating; no MELF thermal performance | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for high-density or vibration-prone assemblies | Select only when legacy through-hole compatibility is mandatory and power/thermal constraints allow |
| MMBZ5267B (SOT-23) | 200 mW rating; 100 V Zener; silicon planar process; 30 Ω ZZT; 50 nA IR | Limited to low-power signal-level references; cannot replace 1N3050BUR-1 in power regulation roles | Use only for portable electronics where size and leakage dominate over voltage/power requirements |
Compared with 1N3050B and MMBZ5267B, the 1N3050BUR-1 uniquely combines 180 V Zener voltage, 1.5 W surface-mount capability, DO-213AB thermal performance, and radiation hardness-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability, high-voltage, surface-mount regulation applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3050BUR-1?
The 1N3050BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 180 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix per Note 1. This tolerance is measured at 25°C with 1.4 mA test current (IZT) under thermal equilibrium, ensuring predictable regulation in feedback networks where tight voltage setpoints are critical.
Is 1N3050BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N3050BUR-1 is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N3050BUR-1e3), specifying annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1. The base part without "e3" uses traditional tin-lead plating, and both versions meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum power dissipation of 1N3050BUR-1 at 70°C ambient?
Per Figure 1 derating curve, the 1N3050BUR-1 delivers 1.25 W at 25°C ambient and linearly derates to ~1.05 W at 70°C ambient when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended footprint. At end-cap temperature (TEC) <115°C, steady-state power remains 1.50 W regardless of ambient, provided thermal path is maintained.
Does 1N3050BUR-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N3050BUR-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance exceeding 100 krad(Si). This is a material- and process-level characteristic of its hermetic glass MELF construction-not requiring additional screening-and validated across the full 1N3016BUR-1 to 1N3051BUR-1 series.
Can 1N3050BUR-1 be used in place of 1N3050B in existing designs?
No direct substitution is permitted: 1N3050BUR-1 uses DO-213AB (MELF) surface-mount packaging while 1N3050B uses DO-13 axial-leaded packaging. Though electrically identical, the 1N3050BUR-1 requires re-layout for SMT placement, stencil design, and thermal pad optimization-its 1.5 W rating and lower thermal resistance do not compensate for mechanical incompatibility.
