Product details
Overview
1N5243BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 13 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package with ±5% tolerance, 9.4 V minimum and 9.9 V maximum Zener voltage at 9.5 mA test current, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5243BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5243BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5243BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5243BUR-1/TR equivalent, this part delivers stable 13 V regulation with low dynamic impedance (13 Ω), minimal temperature coefficient (+0.079 %/°C), and radiation-hardened performance suitable for aerospace and industrial environments.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across a wide current range (0.25 mA to 9.5 mA), with specified Zener impedance measured at both knee (ZZK = 600 Ω @ 0.25 mA) and test current (ZZT = 13 Ω @ 9.5 mA). Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and reliability under thermal cycling.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤0.5 µA @ 9.4 V), forward voltage ≤1.1 V @ 200 mA, and operates over -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its DO-213AA package supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 s and provides 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V nominal; 9.4–9.9 V min/max at IZT = 9.5 mA - defines regulation setpoint accuracy |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W steady-state - limits continuous current to ~38 mA at 13 V without derating |
| Zener Impedance | 13 Ω @ IZT = 9.5 mA - ensures tight voltage regulation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.5 µA @ VR = 9.4 V - minimizes error in high-impedance bias/reference networks |
| Temp. Coefficient | +0.079 %/°C - predicts +10.3 mV/°C drift near 25 °C, critical for temp-stable references |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 to +175 °C - enables operation in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole applications |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) - hermetically sealed glass, RoHS-compliant matte-tin end caps |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package: cylindrical glass body with two metallized end caps; cathode indicated by single black band; polarity requires banded end to be positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection point | Connected to higher potential node; reverse-biased to enable breakdown regulation |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection point | Connected to lower potential (e.g., ground or return); completes reverse-bias path |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5243B-1TR | Same 13 V rating and DO-35 axial package; 250 °C/W RθJA vs. 250 °C/W for DO-213AA; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board reuse; lacks MELF's thermal performance and hermeticity | Select when board layout prohibits SMT or when axial lead form factor is required for mechanical retention |
| BZX55C13-TR | 13 V, ±5%, 500 mW in DO-35; 600 Ω ZZK vs. 600 Ω; 15 Ω ZZT vs. 13 Ω; non-radiation-hardened; RoHS only | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics; not qualified for aerospace or high-reliability industrial use | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where radiation tolerance and MIL-spec screening are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5243B-1TR and BZX55C13-TR, the 1N5243BUR-1/TR offers superior thermal resistance (100 °C/W J-to-EC), inherent radiation hardness, and hermetic MELF packaging-making it the only choice for mission-critical, high-temperature, or space-qualified voltage reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5243BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5243BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual regulation range is 9.4 V to 9.9 V when tested at 9.5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0232-1, and applies to all parts with the "B" suffix in the nomenclature.
Does the 1N5243BUR-1/TR require heatsinking in standard PCB layouts?
No, the 1N5243BUR-1/TR does not require external heatsinking under typical operating conditions. Its 0.5 W power rating and 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance allow safe operation at full power with end-cap temperature maintained below 125 °C, provided the FR4 PCB uses the recommended footprint and 1 oz copper.
Is the 1N5243BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5243BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 marking), with annealed matte-tin plating on both end caps. RoHS compliance is limited to commercial-grade versions per the datasheet; military-grade variants (e.g., JAN/JANTX) retain tin-lead plating.
Can the 1N5243BUR-1/TR be used in place of the axial 1N5243B-1?
The 1N5243BUR-1/TR is the surface-mount DO-213AA equivalent of the axial 1N5243B-1, sharing identical electrical specs (VZ, IZT, ZZT, etc.), but differing in package, thermal path, and screening options. It is not a drop-in replacement due to different footprint and mounting method, though functionally interchangeable in circuit design.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5243BUR-1/TR at 9.4 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5243BUR-1/TR is 0.5 µA at VR = 9.4 V and TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference and bias networks.
