Product details
Overview
1N5254BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 27 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package with ±5% tolerance, 4.6 mA test current, and 41 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5254BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5254BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5254BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5254BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability across temperature, low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 20 V), hermetic glass packaging for reliability, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481-B tape-and-reel.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V at 4.6 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 41 Ω - optimized for stable regulation under varying load and thermal conditions.
Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing, radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, and ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020), supporting use in aerospace, industrial control, and high-reliability instrumentation where long-term parametric stability is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at 4.6 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W - supports continuous operation up to 50°C ambient or 125°C end-cap temperature with derating. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 41 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load current. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.1 µA at 20 V - guarantees negligible current draw in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.090 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature-range designs. |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) - provides hermeticity, thermal performance (RθJEC = 100 °C/W), and MELF-style reflow compatibility. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with two end-cap terminals; cathode identified by single black band - operated with banded end positive for Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection point in reverse bias | Applied positive voltage relative to anode to enter breakdown; determines polarity-sensitive PCB orientation. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection point in reverse bias | Reference ground or return path; must be held at lower potential than cathode during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Enables operation from –65°C to +175°C junction temperature with immunity to moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift. |
| Metallurgical bonding | Eliminates wire bonds and interfacial delamination risks, improving mechanical robustness and thermal cycling endurance. |
| Radiation hardness | Qualified per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified and nuclear instrumentation applications without shielding. |
| ESD insensitivity | Passes MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - allows handling and assembly without special ESD controls in production environments. |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5254B-1TR | Same electrical specs but in axial DO-35 package; no MELF form factor or hermetic glass seal. | Lacks radiation hardness and high-temp capability; limited to commercial-grade PCBs with through-hole assembly. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and board space permits axial mounting. |
| BZX55C27 | 27 V ±5%, 500 mW, but in DO-35 plastic package; higher leakage (≤5 µA @ 20 V) and no radiation qualification. | Not suitable for aerospace or extended-temperature industrial use; requires conformal coating for humidity resistance. | Choose only for non-critical consumer applications where RoHS compliance and low unit cost are primary drivers. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5254BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5254BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies at 25°C with 4.6 mA test current and ensures regulation within 25.65 V to 28.35 V under specified conditions.
Is 1N5254BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5254BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with annealed matte-tin plating on its end caps. RoHS compliance is available for commercial-grade versions only; military-screened variants (e.g., JAN, JANTX) are not RoHS compliant.
What is the maximum power dissipation of 1N5254BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5254BUR-1/TR has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W. Derating is required above 50°C ambient or 125°C end-cap temperature per the published thermal curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet T4-LDS-0232-1.
Does 1N5254BUR-1/TR require special handling for ESD?
No - the 1N5254BUR-1/TR is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, eliminating the need for ESD-safe workstations or packaging during standard manufacturing handling and assembly.
Can 1N5254BUR-1/TR be used in space applications?
Yes - the 1N5254BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and supports up-screening to MIL-PRF-19500, making it qualified for low-earth orbit and other space-grade applications where total ionizing dose resistance is required.
