Product details
Overview
1N5232BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 5.6 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in a hermetically sealed DO-213AA (MELF) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, reference supplies, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 11 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, operates from –65 °C to +175 °C, and exhibits +0.038 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5232BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5232BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5232BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5232BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability across temperature, low leakage (<5 µA at 2.9 V), minimal capacitance (~1.6 pF), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly under 260 °C solder reflow.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal reverse-biased voltage reference, operating in the Zener breakdown region with a nominal regulation voltage of 5.6 V at 20 mA. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, while its DO-213AA package enables stable thermal performance with RθJA = 250 °C/W on FR4 board.
The 1N5232BUR-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.038 %/°C), indicating increasing Zener voltage with rising junction temperature - a critical factor when used in temperature-compensated references or bias networks. Its low 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 2.9 V supports high-impedance sensing and low-quiescent-current designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 5.6 V at IZT = 20 mA - stable reference point for analog feedback or clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W - limits continuous regulation current to ~89 mA at 5.6 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 11 Ω - low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage IR | <5 µA at VR = 2.9 V - preserves accuracy in high-impedance divider or sensor interfaces |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.038 %/°C - predictable drift behavior enables compensation in multi-device references |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in aerospace, downhole, or industrial environments |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF - robust glass body with end-cap terminations for reliable SMT mounting |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed DO-213AA (MELF) glass package with axial symmetry and cathode band marking. Terminals are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated end caps, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. No polarity-specific PCB footprint required - orientation determined by cathode band placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection during forward bias; regulated output node in reverse bias | Must be held at higher potential than anode to enable Zener conduction; defines reference polarity |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground or return path in regulation circuit | Serves as current sink node; connects to system ground or bias resistor network |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgically bonded glass construction | Enables hermetic sealing and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 for harsh-environment reliability |
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance (suffix "B") | Guarantees 5.32–5.88 V regulation at 20 mA without binning or post-assembly calibration |
| Low 1.6 pF typical capacitance | Minimizes signal coupling and phase shift in RF detector or high-speed clamp applications |
| ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and board-level integration |
| RoHS-compliant option (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU for commercial-grade assemblies without lead content restrictions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5232B-1/TR | Same electrical specs but in DO-35 (axial-leaded) package; no metallurgical bond; RθJA = 500 °C/W | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or high-reliability hermetic requirements | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or lower cost outweighs SMT efficiency and radiation tolerance |
| BZX55C5V6-TR | 5.6 V, ±5%, 500 mW in DO-35; 15 Ω ZZT; max IR = 1 µA at 4.0 V; not radiation-hardened | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening options and radiation hardness; optimized for consumer-grade cost-sensitive designs | Select for commercial applications where radiation immunity and extended temperature range are not required |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5232BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5232BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number. This guarantees a regulation range of 5.32 V to 5.88 V at the specified test current of 20 mA, verified per Microsemi's T4-LDS-0232-1 datasheet.
Does the 1N5232BUR-1/TR support RoHS compliance?
Yes, the 1N5232BUR-1/TR is available in RoHS-compliant form with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5232BUR-1/TR e3), featuring annealed matte-tin plating on end caps. RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade versions and is explicitly documented in Microsemi's nomenclature guide and packaging notes.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the 1N5232BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5232BUR-1/TR is rated for a steady-state power dissipation of 0.5 W. This rating assumes end cap temperature remains below 125 °C or ambient temperature stays under 50 °C when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint per the datasheet's thermal derating curve.
How does the temperature coefficient of the 1N5232BUR-1/TR affect its performance?
The 1N5232BUR-1/TR has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.038 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. This behavior is leveraged in temperature-compensated reference designs, such as pairing with negative-TC devices to achieve net zero drift across operating ranges.
Is the 1N5232BUR-1/TR suitable for high-reliability or radiation-prone environments?
Yes, the 1N5232BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and supports up-screening to MIL-PRF-19500 standards. Its metallurgically bonded glass DO-213AA package provides hermetic sealing and validated performance in total ionizing dose (TID) environments - confirmed in Microsemi's reliability documentation.
