Product details
Overview
1N5245BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 15 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package with ±5% tolerance, 8.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, and 0.1 µA max reverse leakage at 10.5 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in compact power management circuits for industrial sensors and analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5245BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5245BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5245BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5245BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, hermetic glass packaging for reliability, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly under RoHS-compliant reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, delivering stable 15 V regulation across 1–20 mA operating current and -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures low thermal resistance (RθJEC = 100°C/W) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The 1N5245BUR-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.082%/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its minimal capacitance (<2 pF typical) and non-ESD-sensitive design (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) support high-frequency noise suppression and robust operation in mixed-signal PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 15 V ±5% at IZT = 20 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W steady-state - supports continuous regulation in space-constrained SMT layouts without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 8.5 Ω at 20 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable voltage under varying load currents. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.1 µA max at VR = 10.5 V - minimizes quiescent current loss in battery-powered or low-power systems. |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and aerospace environments. |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) - hermetically sealed glass body with end-cap terminations for high reliability and moisture resistance. |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.1 V max at IF = 200 mA - allows safe forward conduction during transient clamping or polarity verification. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package: cylindrical glass body with metallized end caps; cathode indicated by single black band; no leads - terminals are axial end caps only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode End Cap | Zener anode connection in reverse bias | Connected to higher potential node during regulation; band-marked end must be biased positive relative to anode end. |
| Anode End Cap | Zener cathode connection in reverse bias | Connected to lower potential (e.g., ground or return path); unmarked end serves as reference node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5245B-1TR | Same 15 V, ±5%, DO-35 axial package; RθJA = 500°C/W vs. 250°C/W for DO-213AA; no hermetic seal. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole boards; not recommended for high-reliability SMT or high-temp environments. | Select when board assembly uses wave soldering or legacy axial footprints; avoid where thermal performance or humidity resistance is critical. |
| BZX55C15-TR | 15 V, ±5%, DO-35; 100 Ω ZZT; 100 nA IR at 12 V; plastic package; no radiation hardening. | Lower cost for consumer-grade applications; insufficient for MIL-PRF-19500 screening or avionics use cases. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where long-term stability and radiation tolerance are not required. |
Compared with 1N5245B-1TR and BZX55C15-TR, the 1N5245BUR-1/TR delivers superior thermal performance, hermetic reliability, and radiation tolerance-making it the only option qualified for screened military and aerospace deployments requiring DO-213AA form factor.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5245BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5245BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with ±5% tolerance, verified at a test current IZT of 20 mA. This tolerance corresponds to the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and ensures regulation within 14.25 V to 15.75 V under standard conditions, supporting precise analog circuit design where voltage stability is critical.
Is the 1N5245BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5245BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with annealed matte-tin end-cap plating meeting commercial-grade RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. It is not rated for lead-free reflow beyond 260°C for 10 seconds, and its hermetic glass package eliminates halogenated flame retardants found in plastic-packaged alternatives.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal resistance of the 1N5245BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5245BUR-1/TR has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W and a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 100°C/W. When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and proper footprint, its junction-to-ambient resistance is 250°C/W-enabling full-rated power operation below 50°C ambient or 125°C end-cap temperature.
Does the 1N5245BUR-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5245BUR-1/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance exceeding 100 krad(Si) and single-event effect (SEE) immunity. While not formally certified to MIL-STD-883, its construction and screening history support use in low-earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation applications.
How is polarity marked on the 1N5245BUR-1/TR package?
The 1N5245BUR-1/TR uses a single black cathode band on one end cap to indicate polarity. During Zener regulation, the banded end must be connected to the higher-potential node (anode in reverse bias), while the unmarked end serves as the reference (cathode in reverse bias). This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-213AA standards and is visible under standard optical inspection.
