Product details
Overview
1N5235BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 6.8 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) glass package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, 20 mA test current, and 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and bias circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5235BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5235BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5235BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5235BUR-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant packaging details, and direct alternatives with documented Zener voltage, tolerance, and impedance differences.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased silicon Zener diode with metallurgically bonded construction, delivering stable 6.8 V regulation at 20 mA with ±5% initial tolerance and +0.050 %/°C temperature coefficient. Its hermetically sealed DO-213AA glass package ensures low leakage (<3.0 µA at 4.8 V) and minimal capacitance (~2.5 pF typical).
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 250 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu), requiring end-cap temperature <125 °C or ambient <50 °C for full 0.5 W rating. Forward voltage is capped at 1.1 V @ 200 mA, confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 6.8 V @ IZT = 20 mA - precise regulation point for reference design |
| Tolerance | ±5% - matches JEDEC 1N5235B standard; suffix "B" confirmed in part number |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 5.0 Ω @ 20 mA - low AC impedance enables stable regulation under varying load |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 3.0 µA @ VR = 4.8 V - ensures low quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W - requires thermal management above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end cap |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) - hermetically sealed glass, cathode band marked, RoHS-compliant plating |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.050 %/°C - positive drift supports stable mid-voltage references across industrial range |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) is a cylindrical, metallurgically bonded, hermetically sealed glass package with two solderable end-cap terminals. Cathode is identified by a single black band; polarity must be observed-cathode end is positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse voltage applied between cathode and this terminal |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation output | Provides stable 6.8 V relative to anode when reverse biased above breakdown threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates wire bonds, improving reliability and thermal stability in harsh environments |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift; supports MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening |
| Low 2.5 pF typical capacitance | Minimizes signal coupling in RF-adjacent or high-frequency bias applications |
| Radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050 | Validated for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience in space and nuclear instrumentation |
| ESD robustness (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >4 kV HBM without parameter shift-reduces handling sensitivity in production |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Medical Instrument Reference Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5235B-TR | Same 6.8 V / ±5% / 5.0 Ω spec, but in axial DO-35 (not surface-mount); no MELF form factor | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT assembly | Select only if legacy board rework or manual prototyping demands axial leaded form |
| BZX55C6V8-TR | 6.8 V / ±5%, but 600 mW rating, 10 Ω ZZT, and plastic DO-35 package; not hermetically sealed | Lacks radiation hardness, MIL-PRF-19500 screening, and glass-package reliability | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer electronics where cost and availability outweigh ruggedness needs |
Compared with 1N5235BUR-1/TR, the 1N5235B-TR offers identical electrical specs but mandates through-hole assembly, while BZX55C6V8-TR trades hermeticity and radiation tolerance for lower cost and higher power-making the original optimal for aerospace, medical, and industrial systems demanding long-term parametric stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5235BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5235BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This specification is guaranteed at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–65 to +175 °C junction).
Is the 1N5235BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5235BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (per exemption 7a), as confirmed by the "e3" marking in its full part number variant and stated in Microsemi's documentation. RoHS compliance applies to commercial-grade versions only and uses annealed matte-tin plating on the DO-213AA end caps.
What package type does the 1N5235BUR-1/TR use, and how is polarity marked?
The 1N5235BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) hermetically sealed glass package. Polarity is marked with a single cathode band on one end cap; during Zener operation, the banded (cathode) end must be held positive relative to the unbanded (anode) end.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the 1N5235BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5235BUR-1/TR has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W at end-cap temperature <125 °C or ambient <50 °C on FR4 with 1 oz copper. Derating begins linearly beyond those limits, with RθJA = 250 °C/W defining the slope-e.g., at 70 °C ambient, max power drops to ~0.4 W.
Does the 1N5235BUR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N5235BUR-1/TR is eligible for up-screening per MIL-PRF-19500, as explicitly stated in Microsemi's datasheet. Screening levels (e.g., JAN, JANTX, JANTXV) are designated by prefix letters (MQ, MX, MV), and require ordering with appropriate reliability-level suffixes-not included in the base 1N5235BUR-1/TR commercial part number.
