Product details
Overview
1N5248BUR-1E3 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded glass MELF Zener diode with nominal 18 V regulation at 7.0 mA test current, 5% voltage tolerance, 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.5 W power dissipation in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) package. It delivers stable voltage reference in precision analog power supplies and low-noise sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5248BUR-1E3 datasheet, 1N5248BUR-1E3 pinout, 1N5248BUR-1E3 application, or 1N5248BUR-1E3 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant packaging details, and validated alternative parts for voltage reference design continuity.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal reverse-biased voltage regulator with a specified Zener voltage of 18 V ±5% at 7.0 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C. Its 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT and ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage at 13.3 V ensure tight regulation under varying load and temperature conditions.
The DO-213AA package enables surface-mount assembly with end-cap soldering per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and its metallurgical bond structure supports operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature while maintaining hermetic integrity and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 18 V ±5% at 7.0 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W - limits continuous thermal load on PCB; requires derating above 50 °C ambient |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 600 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.1 µA at 13.3 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.085 %/°C - quantifies drift magnitude across industrial temperature range |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including aerospace and downhole systems |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤1.1 V at 200 mA - enables use as clamp or protection diode in forward conduction mode |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80 / MLL34) metallurgically bonded glass MELF package with cathode band marking; terminals are solderable end caps plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin (e3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection point | Must be biased positive relative to anode to enter breakdown; band identifies polarity during placement |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection point | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetically sealed glass construction | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments |
| Metallurgical bonding | Ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability under thermal cycling and vibration stress |
| Radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 | Validated performance in total ionizing dose (TID) environments up to 100 krad(Si) |
| Minimal capacitance (~1.5 pF typical) | Reduces high-frequency noise coupling into reference nodes and improves AC regulation fidelity |
| ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands ≥4 kV HBM without parameter shift-simplifies handling and board-level ESD protection |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Reference | Avionics Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision 18 V reference for isolated DC-DC converter feedback networks in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal Zener voltage reference providing stable regulation point for optocoupler-based error amplification. Use Value: Maintains <±1% output accuracy over –40 °C to +85 °C ambient due to low tempco and tight 5% tolerance. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened passive reference replacing active ICs in fault-tolerant voltage monitoring paths. Use Value: Inherent TID hardness per MicroNote 050 eliminates need for shielding or redundancy overhead in critical subsystems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5248B-1TR | Same 18 V ±5%, DO-35 axial package; no RoHS e3 marking; higher RθJA (300 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W) | Requires through-hole assembly; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated reflow | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or MIL-PRF-19500 screening is required |
| BZX55C18-TR | 18 V ±5%, DO-35 package, 500 mW rating; higher ZZT (1000 Ω), no radiation hardness documentation | Lacks hermetic seal and radiation qualification; limited to commercial-grade terrestrial applications | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where radiation or extreme temperature performance is not needed |
Compared with 1N5248BUR-1E3, the 1N5248B-1TR offers identical electrical specs but requires manual or wave-solder assembly, while BZX55C18-TR trades hermeticity and radiation hardness for lower unit cost in benign environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5248BUR-1E3?
The 1N5248BUR-1E3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V with a ±5% tolerance, corresponding to the "B" suffix in its nomenclature. This means the actual measured VZ at 7.0 mA test current falls between 17.1 V and 18.9 V at 25 °C, verified per Microsemi's electrical characteristics table.
Is the 1N5248BUR-1E3 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N5248BUR-1E3 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with annealed matte-tin plating on both end caps. This version is qualified for commercial-grade use only and meets lead-free soldering requirements up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N5248BUR-1E3?
The 1N5248BUR-1E3 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W, valid only when the end cap temperature remains below 125 °C or ambient temperature stays below 50 °C on FR4 board. Derating is required above those temperatures per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does the 1N5248BUR-1E3 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5248BUR-1E3 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents its performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure. This characteristic stems from its hermetic glass package and metallurgical bond structure-not an add-on qualification.
What package type does the 1N5248BUR-1E3 use?
The 1N5248BUR-1E3 uses the DO-213AA package, also known as SOD80 or MLL34, a metallurgically bonded glass MELF surface-mount case. Dimensions are 1.60–1.70 mm diameter and 3.30–3.70 mm length, with cathode band marking for polarity identification.
