Product details
Overview
1N5236BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 7.5 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package, rated for ±5% tolerance at 20 mA test current, with 6.0 Ω dynamic impedance and +0.058 %/°C temperature coefficient-used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and bias circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5236BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5236BUR-1 pinout, 1N5236BUR-1 application, or 1N5236BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability over temperature, low dynamic impedance for ripple suppression, hermetic glass packaging for reliability, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR4 boards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining 7.5 V across its terminals at IZT = 20 mA with ZZT = 6.0 Ω and αVZ = +0.058 %/°C. It exhibits minimal capacitance (typical <3 pF per Figure 3) and is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Designed for metallurgical bonding within a hermetically sealed glass MELF structure, it delivers radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 and supports up-screening to MIL-PRF-19500. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 250 °C/W on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 7.5 V at 20 mA - stable regulation point for low-current reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W - limits continuous operating current to ~67 mA at 7.5 V |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 6.0 Ω at 20 mA - ensures low output impedance for effective ripple rejection |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.058 %/°C - predictable positive drift enables compensation in multi-device references |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 3.0 µA at VR = 5.7 V - negligible error contribution in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 to +175 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and aerospace environments |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.1 V max at 200 mA - defines forward conduction threshold for polarity protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5236B-1 (DO-35 axial) | Same electrical specs but axial DO-35 package; higher RθJA (~300 °C/W); no MELF hermeticity | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole legacy designs; not for high-reliability SMT production | Select only when board layout prohibits MELF placement or hand-soldering is required |
| BZX55C7V5 (DO-35) | 7.5 V, ±5%, 500 mW, but silicon planar construction; RθJA ≈ 500 °C/W; no radiation hardness claim | Cost-effective for commercial-grade consumer electronics; unsuitable for aerospace or extended temp | Prefer 1N5236BUR-1 where hermeticity, radiation tolerance, or thermal performance on FR4 is critical |
Compared with 1N5236B-1 and BZX55C7V5, the 1N5236BUR-1 offers superior thermal resistance on FR4 (250 vs. ≥300 °C/W), verified radiation hardness, and hermetic glass reliability-making it the only choice for space-qualified or high-stability industrial reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5236BUR-1?
The 1N5236BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a ±5% tolerance, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0232-1 Rev. 1. This corresponds to the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and is measured at IZT = 20 mA and TA = 25 °C.
Is 1N5236BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, 1N5236BUR-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5236BUR-1e3), as stated in the Part Nomenclature section. RoHS compliance applies to commercial-grade units only; screened versions follow MIL-PRF-19500 requirements and may differ.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5236BUR-1?
The 1N5236BUR-1 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W, specified under conditions where the end cap temperature remains below 125 °C or ambient temperature stays below 50 °C on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and the recommended footprint (see Figure 2 and Maximum Ratings table).
Does 1N5236BUR-1 require derating above 50 °C ambient?
Yes, 1N5236BUR-1 must be derated linearly above 50 °C ambient temperature when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz Cu, per Figure 2. At 100 °C ambient, power dissipation is reduced to approximately 0.25 W, based on the 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can 1N5236BUR-1 be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, 1N5236BUR-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience-making it suitable for satellite, avionics, and nuclear instrumentation applications where parametric shift under irradiation must be minimized.
