Product details
Overview
1N5244BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 14 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, with 9.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 9.5 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5244BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5244BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5244BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5244BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), low capacitance (<2 pF typical), RoHS-compliant plating, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening eligibility.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across varying load currents (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM ≈ 55 mA). Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, with minimal temperature-induced drift (αVZ = +0.082 %/°C).
The DO-213AA package enables high-reliability surface mounting on FR4 boards with defined thermal derating above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature, and supports tape-and-reel delivery (TR suffix) per EIA-481-B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14 V ±5% at 20 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - limits continuous thermal stress; requires derating above 50 °C ambient |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 9.0 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA at VR = 9.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.082 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; positive slope above ~6 V |
| 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 - relevant for polarity verification and forward-bias protection checks |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode indicated by single band; no discrete pins-device has two symmetrical end-cap terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to higher potential during regulation; defines polarity for proper biasing |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/return terminal | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential; completes Zener current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgically bonded construction | Enables hermetic sealing and intrinsic radiation hardness without external shielding |
| MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening option | Supports military/aerospace qualification paths via reliability level suffixes (MQ/MX/MV/MSP) |
| Low capacitance (~1.5 pF typical) | Minimizes signal coupling and noise injection in high-frequency reference or filtering applications |
| ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for handling precautions beyond standard static-safe protocols |
| RoHS-compliant commercial version | Meets EU environmental directives without compromising electrical performance or reliability |

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 | Same 12 V nominal rating but 1 W power rating in DO-41 package; 22 Ω ZZT; non-MELF form factor | Requires larger PCB footprint and lacks radiation hardness or MIL upscreening capability | Select when higher power margin is needed and surface-mount MELF packaging is not required |
| BZX55C14 | 14 V, 5% tolerance in DO-35 axial package; 25 Ω ZZT; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening path | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly; higher thermal resistance limits high-temp operation | Choose for cost-sensitive prototyping where tape-and-reel SMT delivery is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4742A and BZX55C14, the 1N5244BUR-1/TR offers superior thermal performance in compact MELF packaging, verified radiation tolerance, and direct support for high-reliability screening-making it optimal for space-constrained, mission-critical analog regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5244BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5244BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 14 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, and remains valid across the full operating junction temperature range of –65 to +175 °C.
Is 1N5244BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5244BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (designated by the "e3" suffix in full nomenclature variants), with annealed matte-tin end-cap plating. RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade versions; MIL-spec screened versions use tin-lead plating and are exempt from RoHS requirements.
What package type does 1N5244BUR-1/TR use?
The 1N5244BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA package-also known as SOD-80 or MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face)-a hermetically sealed cylindrical glass package with metallurgically bonded end caps. Its dimensions are 1.60–1.70 mm diameter and 3.30–3.70 mm length.
Can 1N5244BUR-1/TR be used in high-reliability military applications?
Yes, the 1N5244BUR-1/TR supports MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening when ordered with appropriate reliability level suffixes (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, MSP). The base commercial part is qualified to commercial standards, but factory-screened variants meet stringent military environmental and life-test requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5244BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5244BUR-1/TR is 0.1 µA, measured at VR = 9.5 V (70% of nominal VZ) and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and high impedance in standby regulation modes, critical for battery-operated systems.
