Product details
Overview
1N5223BUR-1 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 2.7 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package, rated for ±5% voltage tolerance at 20 mA test current, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance and -0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision low-voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5223BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5223BUR-1 pinout, 1N5223BUR-1 application, or 1N5223BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7 V nominal Zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, DO-213AA thermal resistance (RθJA = 250 °C/W), hermetic glass construction, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening capability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 2.7 V output across 0.25–20 mA regulation current (IZK to IZT), with minimal capacitance (<1300 pF typical) and low leakage (≤75 µA at 0.95 V). Its metallurgically bonded glass structure ensures reliability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The device exhibits negative temperature coefficient (-0.080 %/°C), making it suitable for temperature-compensated references when paired with positive-TC components. It is RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix), solderable per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, and rated for junction temperatures from -65 °C to +175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) metallurgically bonded glass MELF package with cathode band marking; terminals are end caps plated with annealed matte tin (RoHS-compliant e3 version) or tin-lead; polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; forms return path for Zener current during regulation. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 2.7 V relative to anode; must be biased positive w.r.t. anode for breakdown conduction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5223B | Axial DO-35 package; same 2.7 V/500 mW spec but higher RθJA (300 °C/W); no RoHS e3 option. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades; not SMT-compatible. | Select 1N5223B only if DO-35 footprint exists and reflow compatibility is unnecessary. |
| BZX55C2V7 | Plastic DO-35 package; ±5% tolerance; 500 mW; ZZT = 35 Ω; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening or radiation hardening. | Cost-optimized for consumer electronics; lacks hermetic seal and extended temp range. | Choose BZX55C2V7 for cost-sensitive commercial designs where reliability beyond 125 °C is not required. |
Compared with 1N5223B and BZX55C2V7, the 1N5223BUR-1 delivers superior thermal performance in SMT layouts, guaranteed hermetic reliability, and qualification support for high-integrity systems - justifying its use where long-term stability and environmental resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5223BUR-1?
The 1N5223BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a ±5% tolerance, verified at 20 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature, and applies across the full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.
Is the 1N5223BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5223BUR-1 is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with annealed matte-tin plating on its end caps. RoHS compliance is available for commercial-grade units only; military-screened versions (e.g., JAN, JANTX) retain tin-lead plating per specification.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N5223BUR-1 at room temperature?
The 1N5223BUR-1 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W at ambient temperature below 50 °C or end-cap temperature below 125 °C when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper. Derating begins above these thresholds per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does the 1N5223BUR-1 have a specified capacitance value?
Yes - the 1N5223BUR-1 exhibits typical capacitance of ≤1300 pF at its nominal Zener voltage, as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet. This low capacitance supports use in high-frequency bias networks and RF-coupled reference paths without signal distortion.
Can the 1N5223BUR-1 be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N5223BUR-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience. Its hermetic glass package and metallurgical bonding contribute to this performance, making it suitable for space and nuclear instrumentation applications.
