Product details
Overview
1N5229BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 4.3 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package, designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, reference supplies, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, operates from –65 °C to +175 °C, and exhibits +0.055 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5229BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5229BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5229BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5229BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), low leakage (<5 µA at 0.95 V), minimal capacitance, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening capability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal reverse-biased voltage reference, operating in its breakdown region with regulated output across a wide current range (0.25 mA to 60 mA). Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, while the DO-213AA package enables high-reliability surface-mount assembly with 260 °C solder tolerance.
The 1N5229BUR-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.055 %/°C), making it suitable for temperature-compensated references when paired with negative-TC components. Its 22 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 20 mA and 2000 Ω impedance near the knee (IZK = 0.25 mA) define its regulation stability under varying load and line conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5229B-1/TR | Same 4.3 V, ±5%, DO-35 axial package; higher RθJA (300 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W); no MIL-PRF-19500 option | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework; lacks MELF thermal performance | Select when axial mounting is required and thermal budget permits higher junction rise |
| BZX55C4V3-TR | 4.3 V, ±5%, DO-35; 500 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT; non-radiation-hardened; RoHS-only | Cost-optimized commercial use; not qualified for aerospace or high-reliability industrial deployment | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where radiation hardness and MIL screening are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5229BUR-1/TR, the 1N5229B-1/TR offers identical electrical specs but inferior thermal performance and no upscreening path, while BZX55C4V3-TR trades radiation hardness and hermeticity for lower unit cost in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5229BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5229BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with a ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 20 mA. This tolerance corresponds to the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C.
Does the 1N5229BUR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 qualification?
Yes, the 1N5229BUR-1/TR is available with upscreening per MIL-PRF-19500 upon request. The base commercial version carries the "UR" designation indicating metallurgically bonded surface-mount construction; specific reliability levels (e.g., JAN, JANTX) require additional ordering codes and factory coordination.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5229BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5229BUR-1/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 0.95 V. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-powered or low-quiescent-current applications where standby power loss must be minimized.
Is the 1N5229BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5229BUR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5229BUR-1e3/TR). RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade variants; MIL-spec versions retain leaded terminations per exemption requirements.
What package type does the 1N5229BUR-1/TR use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 1N5229BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA (SOD80 or MLL34) MELF glass package: hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded, with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end caps. Dimensions are 1.60–1.70 mm diameter (A) and 3.30–3.70 mm length (B), enabling high-density SMT placement and superior thermal transfer via end-cap solder joints.
