Product details
Overview
1N5237BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 8.2 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80) glass MELF package with ±5% tolerance, 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range-used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5237BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5237BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5237BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5237BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, hermetic glass packaging for stability, thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with tape-and-reel delivery.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference diode, maintaining stable 8.2 V regulation across 0.25 mA to 20 mA test current range. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures low leakage (<3 µA at 6.2 V), minimal capacitance (~3 pF), and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The 1N5237BUR-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.062 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. It is rated for 0.5 W steady-state dissipation at end-cap temperature <125 °C or ambient <50 °C on FR4 board with specified footprint.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5237B-1/TR | Same 8.2 V, ±5% spec, but in axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package - no MELF geometry or hermetic seal. | Lacks radiation hardness and moisture resistance; unsuitable for aerospace or sealed enclosures. | Select only when through-hole mounting and lower reliability requirements apply. |
| BZX55C8V2-TR | 8.2 V, ±5%, 500 mW, but in DO-35 plastic package - higher leakage (≤5 µA), no radiation qualification. | Not rated for MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening; limited to commercial-grade industrial use. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where hermeticity and radiation tolerance are unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N5237B-1/TR and BZX55C8V2-TR, the 1N5237BUR-1/TR uniquely combines hermetic glass MELF packaging, metallurgical bonding, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability-making it the sole choice for high-reliability, high-stability Zener reference applications requiring long-term parametric stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5237BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5237BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V at 20 mA test current with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, and the device meets JEDEC 1N5237 specifications in DO-213AA packaging.
What package type does the 1N5237BUR-1/TR use, and why is it significant?
The 1N5237BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA (SOD-80) metallurgically bonded glass MELF package. This hermetic construction prevents moisture ingress, ensures long-term parameter stability, and supports radiation hardness per MicroNote 050-critical for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability industrial applications where plastic or non-hermetic packages would degrade.
Does the 1N5237BUR-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5237BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents its performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure. This characteristic stems from its metallurgically bonded glass structure and is not dependent on external screening-it applies directly to the 1N5237BUR-1/TR as shipped.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5237BUR-1/TR, and at what condition?
The 1N5237BUR-1/TR has a maximum reverse leakage current of 3 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 6.2 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference designs and minimizes error in precision analog circuits where bias current must be tightly controlled.
Is the 1N5237BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant, and how is compliance indicated?
Yes, the 1N5237BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant in its commercial-grade version, indicated by the "e3" suffix in the full part marking (e.g., 1N5237BUR-1(e3)/TR). RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade units; military-qualified versions (e.g., JANTXV) retain leaded terminations per specification.
