Product details
Overview
1N3050BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount glass Zener diode with 180 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.5 W power dissipation at 25°C, 1.4 mA Zener test current, 1200 Ω Zener impedance at IZT, and 0.25 mA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 144 V. It delivers precision voltage regulation in high-reliability power supply and reference circuits operating across –65°C to +175°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3050BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N3050BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N3050BUR-1/TR application, or 1N3050BUR-1/TR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, DO-213AB package details, thermal resistance (120°C/W on FR4), hermetic glass construction benefits, and MIL-qualified screening options (MX/MV prefixes) for aerospace and defense designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a hermetically sealed glass MELF structure. Its metallurgically enhanced contact design reduces thermal resistance and improves long-term stability under thermal cycling.
It maintains regulation over wide current (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM = 7.35 mA) and temperature (–65°C to +175°C) ranges, with tight ±5% voltage tolerance (suffix "B") and low 0.5 μA reverse leakage at rated VR. Capacitance is specified per Figure 2 and exhibits radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3050UR-1/TR | Same 180 V VZ and DO-213AB package but lacks RoHS-compliant "e3" plating; uses SnPb terminations | Restricted to legacy military programs requiring Pb-based solder compatibility | Select only when SnPb assembly process is mandated and RoHS exemption applies |
| SMF180A | Surface-mount TVS diode (not Zener); 180 V standoff, 200 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance (150 pF) | Designed for transient suppression-not precision DC regulation | Use only for surge protection; not interchangeable for voltage reference or bias generation |
Compared with 1N3050BUR-1/TR, 1N3050UR-1/TR offers identical regulation performance but requires Pb-based reflow, while SMF180A trades regulation accuracy for high-energy transient handling-neither serves as a drop-in replacement for precision shunt reference use cases.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3050BUR-1/TR?
The "B" suffix in 1N3050BUR-1/TR specifies a nominal Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 180 V, measured at 1.4 mA test current and 25°C. This tolerance is tighter than the base "no-suffix" (±20%) and "A" (±10%) variants, making 1N3050BUR-1/TR suitable for applications requiring predictable regulation within ±9 V of nominal.
Does 1N3050BUR-1/TR require derating above 25°C ambient?
Yes, 1N3050BUR-1/TR must be derated linearly above 25°C ambient per its thermal resistance of 120°C/W on FR4. For example, at 75°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 0.9 W. Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet, where junction temperature must remain below 175°C.
Is 1N3050BUR-1/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, 1N3050BUR-1/TR carries the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260°C for 10 seconds per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its glass MELF body withstands thermal shock without cracking or delamination.
Can 1N3050BUR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, 1N3050BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with demonstrated survivability to total ionizing dose (TID) exceeding 100 krad(Si) without significant VZ shift or leakage increase-making it suitable for low-earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation applications.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N3050BUR-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N3050BUR-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-A standard: 12 mm carrier tape, 1500 units per 7-inch reel. This format supports automated SMT placement and ensures controlled handling for high-reliability manufacturing lines.
