Product details
Overview
1N3319BE3 from Microsemi is a 50 W hermetically sealed, stud-mounted Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 20.0 V ±5%, 2.40 mA Zener test current, 2.1 kΩ dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum DC Zener current of 80 mA. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is used in high-reliability voltage regulation for industrial power supplies and military-grade DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3319BE3 datasheet, 1N3319BE3 pinout, 1N3319BE3 application, or 1N3319BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-5 (DO-203AB) metal-glass package, anode-to-case polarity, 2.0 °C/W max junction-to-base thermal resistance, and MIL-PRF-19500/358 qualification eligibility via prefix addition.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode delivers stable voltage reference under high-power transient conditions due to its low thermal resistance (2.0 °C/W max), hermetic metal-glass construction, and internal solder bond design. Its 20.0 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 30 °C case temperature with 2.40 mA test current.
The device exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +0.075 %/°C and maintains regulation across wide operating current (5–80 mA) and temperature (–65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Reverse leakage is limited to 10 µA at 15.2 V, supporting precision clamping in high-stability analog circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 20.0 V ±5% at 2.40 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Max Power Dissipation | 50 W at TC < 75 °C - enables high-energy surge suppression when mounted on heatsink |
| Thermal Resistance | 2.0 °C/W max junction-to-hexagonal base - ensures efficient heat transfer to chassis mount |
| Zener Impedance | 2.1 kΩ at IZT - indicates moderate AC impedance for stable regulation under varying load |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-power Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3319B | No E3 suffix; commercial-grade, non-ESD-qualified version with same electrical specs and DO-5 package. | Lacks MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 ESD immunity verification; unsuitable for high-ESD-risk assembly lines. | Select 1N3319B only for cost-sensitive commercial designs where ESD robustness is not required. |
| 1N3319RB | Reversed polarity (cathode-to-case); identical Zener voltage, power rating, and thermal specs. | Requires inverted mounting orientation and different insulator hardware; used where cathode grounding simplifies layout. | Choose 1N3319RB when system grounding scheme mandates cathode connection to chassis ground. |
Compared with 1N3319BE3, 1N3319B omits ESD qualification and traceability documentation, while 1N3319RB changes polarity configuration-both retain identical Zener regulation performance but address distinct mechanical and qualification requirements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N3319BE3?
The 1N3319BE3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 20.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is verified at 30 °C case temperature with 2.40 mA test current, and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Does 1N3319BE3 require heatsinking, and what is its thermal resistance?
Yes, the 1N3319BE3 must be mounted to a heatsink or chassis to dissipate up to 50 W. Its maximum junction-to-base thermal resistance is 2.0 °C/W, with 1.5 °C/W typical. Derating begins above 75 °C case temperature at 0.5 W/°C, so proper thermal interface and mounting torque are essential for sustained 50 W operation.
What does the "E3" suffix mean in 1N3319BE3?
The "E3" suffix denotes Microsemi's legacy processing and traceability standard, indicating compliance with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD immunity and inclusion in Microsemi's qualified manufacturer list (QML) for high-reliability applications. It is not a RoHS designation but a process and screening identifier tied to the DO-5 package build.
Can 1N3319BE3 be used in reverse polarity configuration?
No - the 1N3319BE3 has standard polarity (anode-to-case). For reverse polarity (cathode-to-case), the correct part is 1N3319RE3. The "R" suffix is mandatory and cannot be added post-manufacture; electrical and thermal specs remain identical, but mounting and insulation requirements differ.
Is 1N3319BE3 suitable for space applications?
Yes - the 1N3319BE3 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and can be screened to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/358. While the E3 suffix itself is not a space qualification, the base 1N3319B design forms the foundation for flight-qualified variants when processed under appropriate military screening flows.
