Product details
Overview
1N5244BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 14 V, 5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in a DO-213AA (SOD-80) MELF glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback paths, and reference voltage generation across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5244BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5244BUR-1 pinout, 1N5244BUR-1 application, or 1N5244BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, ±0.082 %/°C temperature coefficient, 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 9.5 V, and hermetically sealed metallurgically bonded construction for stable long-term performance.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-biased polarity, delivering regulated voltage over 0.25–20 mA current range. Its metallurgically bonded glass structure ensures low thermal resistance (RθJEC = 100 °C/W) and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The device exhibits minimal junction capacitance (typ. <1.5 pF at 0 V), enabling use in high-frequency biasing and noise-sensitive references. It is RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix), rated for -65 to +175 °C junction temperature, and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels upon request.
Key Specifications

| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 9.0 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.1 µA max at VR = 9.5 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-powered references |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W - supports continuous operation up to 50 °C ambient on FR4 board with recommended footprint |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.082 %/°C - provides predictable, positive drift for compensation in temperature-stable designs |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 to +175 °C - allows deployment in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | 12 V, 1 W, DO-41 package; 22 Ω ZZT; -0.055 %/°C TC | Higher power but larger footprint and looser regulation stability over temperature | Select when higher dissipation (>500 mW) is required and board space permits axial leaded mounting |
| BZX55C14 | 14 V, 500 mW, DO-35 package; 20 Ω ZZT; +0.08 %/°C TC; non-hermetic epoxy | Same voltage/tolerance but higher dynamic impedance and reduced environmental robustness | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial designs where hermetic sealing and radiation tolerance are not required |
Compared with 1N5244BUR-1, the 1N4742A offers greater power headroom but sacrifices surface-mount compatibility and thermal stability, while the BZX55C14 matches voltage and power but lacks hermetic sealing and exhibits higher impedance-making 1N5244BUR-1 optimal for high-reliability, space-constrained, or radiation-aware systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5244BUR-1?
The 1N5244BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 14 V with a ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current IZT of 20 mA. This tolerance corresponds to the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and ensures regulation within 13.3–14.7 V under standard conditions, supporting reliable design margins in feedback and reference circuits.
Is the 1N5244BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5244BUR-1 is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with annealed matte-tin end-cap plating meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. This applies to commercial-grade units only; MIL-spec versions may use tin-lead plating unless otherwise specified.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5244BUR-1, and at what voltage is it specified?
The 1N5244BUR-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current IR of 0.1 µA at VR = 9.5 V. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-backed references and high-impedance bias networks where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
Can the 1N5244BUR-1 be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N5244BUR-1 is rated for junction temperatures from -65 to +175 °C and features a low thermal resistance (RθJEC = 100 °C/W). When mounted per recommended footprint on FR4, it sustains full 0.5 W dissipation up to 50 °C ambient, with linear derating above that-enabling use in engine control units and downhole tools.
Does the 1N5244BUR-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5244BUR-1 exhibits inherent radiation hardness validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050, covering total ionizing dose (TID) resilience. While not individually certified per MIL-STD-883, its metallurgically bonded glass structure provides proven performance in low-to-medium radiation environments such as LEO satellites and nuclear instrumentation.
