Product details
Overview
1N4133UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a glass-encapsulated, surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package, rated for 0.5 W steady-state power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 87 V ±5%, 250 mA test current, and 1000 Ω maximum Zener impedance at IZT. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4133UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4133UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4133UR-1/TR application, or 1N4133UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its hermetically sealed MELF construction, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), tight thermal resistance (150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), and RoHS-compliant e3 suffix option - all critical for aerospace-grade voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, reverse-biased voltage regulator where the cathode band marks the positive terminal during Zener operation. Its regulation relies on controlled avalanche breakdown above 6 V, with temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C confirming positive drift behavior typical of higher-voltage Zeners.
The DO-213AA package enables stable thermal performance on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, supporting 0.5 W dissipation only when end-cap temperature remains below 100 °C - requiring careful layout per recommended 5.08 mm × 1.40 mm pad footprint and 2.03 mm spacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 87 V ±5% at 250 mA test current - defines primary regulation setpoint under stable thermal conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W at TEC < 100 °C - limits continuous operating current to ~5.7 mA at 87 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance | 1000 Ω max at 250 mA - indicates moderate dynamic resistance affecting regulation accuracy under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | 10 nA max at 69.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby protection circuits |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz typical - supports low-noise reference applications where spectral purity matters |
| Temp Coefficient | +0.095 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift magnitude per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Forward Voltage | 1.1 V at 200 mA - defines conduction threshold when used in bidirectional clamp configurations |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with axial symmetry; cathode identified by single black band - no discrete pins, terminals are metallized end caps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode End Cap | Positive terminal during Zener operation | Connected to regulated output node; must be held at higher potential than anode for breakdown conduction |
| Anode End Cap | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path through Zener junction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass seal | Enables operation from –65 °C to +175 °C with zero moisture ingress risk in sealed enclosures |
| Internal metallurgical bond (-1 suffix) | Improves thermal cycling reliability and reduces interfacial resistance between die and end cap |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands >4 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 without parameter shift or failure |
| RoHS-compliant plating | Tin finish meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow requirements and eliminates lead-based solder compatibility issues |
| Low capacitance | ~4.4 pF typical (per Figure 3) - minimizes high-frequency coupling in RF-adjacent bias networks |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4133UR-1 | Same electrical specs but includes internal metallurgical bond; no TR tape-and-reel packaging | Preferred for military/aerospace programs requiring JAN/JANTXV qualification and enhanced thermal cycling life | Select 1N4133UR-1/TR when automated SMT assembly and long-term supply continuity are required |
| BZX85C82 | 82 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 1.3 W power rating, DO-41 package - higher power but larger footprint and plastic encapsulation | Suitable for commercial-grade power supplies where size and hermeticity are secondary to cost and availability | Choose BZX85C82 only if board space permits DO-41 and radiation/temperature specs are non-critical |
Compared with 1N4133UR-1/TR, the 1N4133UR-1 offers superior reliability in thermal cycling environments but lacks tape-and-reel delivery, while BZX85C82 trades hermetic sealing and MELF thermal performance for higher power and lower unit cost in less demanding applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4133UR-1/TR?
The 1N4133UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 87 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the Microsemi datasheet revision D. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with 250 mA test current and is confirmed by electrical screening per JEDEC standards. No C (±2%) or D (±1%) suffix is present in the part number, so tighter tolerances do not apply to this specific variant.
Does 1N4133UR-1/TR require heatsinking in standard FR4 PCB layouts?
No external heatsink is required for 1N4133UR-1/TR when operated within its 0.5 W power limit and with end-cap temperature maintained below 100 °C. The device achieves 150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance using the recommended 5.08 mm × 1.40 mm copper pad footprint on 1 oz FR4. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2, making thermal layout - not heatsinking - the primary design factor.
Is 1N4133UR-1/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, 1N4133UR-1/TR is RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) and features annealed matte-tin plating qualified to MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. It withstands peak reflow temperatures of 260 °C for 10 seconds, meeting IPC-J-STD-020 requirements for lead-free assembly. The glass body remains unaffected by standard SAC305 thermal profiles.
What does the "-1" suffix signify in 1N4133UR-1/TR?
The "-1" suffix in 1N4133UR-1/TR denotes internal metallurgical bonding between the silicon die and end caps - a construction enhancement that improves thermal cycling endurance and reduces interfacial thermal resistance. This feature is documented in Microsemi's separate data sheet for the -1 series and is retained in the tape-and-reel packaged version.
Can 1N4133UR-1/TR be used in bidirectional TVS configurations?
No, 1N4133UR-1/TR is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation only. Its forward voltage is 1.1 V at 200 mA, but it lacks the symmetrical clamping characteristics, specified surge ratings, or standardized TVS waveforms (e.g., 8/20 µs) required for transient voltage suppression. For bidirectional protection, dedicated TVS arrays or back-to-back Zener pairs are necessary.
