Product details
Overview
1N5224BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 2.8 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in a hermetically sealed DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package, designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, reference supplies, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, operates from –65 °C to +175 °C, and exhibits minimal capacitance for stable high-frequency performance.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5224BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5224BUR-1 pinout, 1N5224BUR-1 application, or 1N5224BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), reverse leakage (<75 µA at 0.95 V), RoHS compliance option (e3 suffix), and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening availability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, silicon-based Zener regulator operating in reverse breakdown, with cathode polarity marked by a band. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, while its DO-213AA package enables automated placement and high-reliability soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Electrical behavior is defined at 25 °C with 20 mA test current (IZT); temperature coefficient is –0.080 %/°C, and dynamic impedance (ZZT) is specified at 30 Ω - critical for maintaining regulation stability under varying load and temperature conditions across industrial and aerospace-grade designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.8 V ±5% at 20 mA - sets precise reference level for feedback loops and bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - limits continuous regulation capability; derates above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end cap |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 30 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <75 µA at VR = 0.95 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | –0.080 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; enables compensation design |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments without derating |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.1 V at 200 mA - defines conduction threshold when used in forward-biased protection paths |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package with metallurgically bonded construction, hermetically sealed, cathode indicated by single band. End-cap terminals are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated for solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to higher potential during reverse-bias operation; defines polarity for voltage clamping |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/ground terminal | Serves as circuit common; establishes reference node for regulated output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF packaging | Enables long-term reliability in humid, corrosive, or high-vacuum environments without encapsulation degradation |
| Metallurgical bonding | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal cycling, improving power-cycle endurance |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently resistant to total ionizing dose (TID) per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified systems |
| MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening | Available with MQ/MX/MV/MSP reliability levels - meets military screening requirements for burn-in, life test, and parametric verification |
| Low capacitance | Typical <2 pF (per Figure 3) - preserves signal integrity in RF biasing and fast-switching clamp applications |
Applications
| Reference Voltage Generation | Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 2.8 V reference for ADCs, DACs, and op-amp comparators in data acquisition modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt voltage reference establishing precise DC bias point.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current sink via series resistor and Zener-regulated voltage drop. Use Value: 0.5 W power rating supports up to ~178 mA bias current (at 2.8 V), enabling robust analog gain staging. | Use Scenario: Supplying temperature-compensated bias to crystal oscillator sustaining amplifiers in timing modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Regulated voltage source stabilizing amplifier operating point against thermal drift. Use Value: Negative tempco (–0.080 %/°C) counterbalances positive TC of oscillator transistors, reducing overall frequency drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5224B-1 | Same 2.8 V, ±5%, 0.5 W rating but in axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package - no surface-mount capability | Requires through-hole PCB assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select 1N5224B-1 only when legacy through-hole manufacturing or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX55C2V7 | 2.7 V nominal (not 2.8 V), ±5%, 0.5 W, DO-35 package - different voltage grade and non-MELF form factor | Lacks radiation hardness, MIL-PRF-19500 screening, and hermetic glass construction | Choose BZX55C2V7 for cost-sensitive commercial applications where radiation tolerance and military screening are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5224B-1 and BZX55C2V7, the 1N5224BUR-1 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, hermetic MELF packaging, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening - making it the only choice for high-reliability, space-constrained, mission-critical regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5224BUR-1?
The 1N5224BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed at 25 °C with 20 mA test current (IZT), and applies across the full operating temperature range when combined with its –0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient.
Is the 1N5224BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5224BUR-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5224BUR-1e3), using annealed matte-tin plating on end caps. RoHS compliance is offered for commercial-grade units only; military-screened variants (MQ/MX/MV/MSP) retain tin-lead terminations per specification.
What package type does the 1N5224BUR-1 use?
The 1N5224BUR-1 uses the DO-213AA package - also known as SOD80 or MLL34 - a hermetically sealed glass MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) surface-mount package. Its dimensions are 1.60–1.70 mm diameter and 3.30–3.70 mm length, with cathode identified by a single band.
Can the 1N5224BUR-1 be used in high-reliability aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N5224BUR-1 supports high-reliability aerospace use via optional MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening (MQ, MX, MV, MSP levels). Its inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, hermetic glass construction, and –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range make it suitable for satellite power conditioning and avionics subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5224BUR-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N5224BUR-1 is 75 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 0.95 V, measured at 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference and sensing circuits, preserving accuracy in battery-powered or low-power systems.
