Product details
Overview
1N5253BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 25 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package with ±5% tolerance, 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5253BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5253BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5253BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5253BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, hermetic glass packaging for reliability, thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 25 V at 20 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.089 %/°C and maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 19 V. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across wide temperature extremes.
The DO-213AA package enables surface-mount assembly with end-cap soldering per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, supporting thermal dissipation up to 500 mW at end-cap temperature <125 °C or ambient <50 °C on FR4 board - critical for compact, high-reliability analog designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5253B-TR | Same 25 V ±5%, but in axial DO-35 package; higher RθJA (300 °C/W); no hermetic glass seal | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades; not recommended for high-reliability SMT production | Select 1N5253B-TR only when DO-35 footprint compatibility is required and thermal performance margin exists. |
| BZX55C24-TR | 24 V ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35; 70 Ω ZZT; wider temp range (-65 °C to +175 °C); non-hermetic epoxy | Lower voltage grade; higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy in precision feedback paths | Choose BZX55C24-TR only if 24 V suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stability needs. |
Compared with 1N5253B-TR and BZX55C24-TR, the 1N5253BUR-1/TR delivers superior regulation stability due to its hermetic glass MELF package, lower dynamic impedance (35 Ω vs. ≥70 Ω), and tighter process control - making it preferred for high-reliability SMT designs where voltage accuracy and long-term drift matter.
