Product details
Overview
1N5258BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 36 V, 5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in a hermetically sealed DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained analog power rails and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5258BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5258BUR-1 pinout, 1N5258BUR-1 application, or 1N5258BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36 V nominal Zener voltage at 3.4 mA test current, 70 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, ±0.093 %/°C temperature coefficient, and operation across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a sharp breakdown knee at IZK = 0.25 mA and specified regulation at IZT = 3.4 mA. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures stable long-term Zener voltage drift and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The 1N5258BUR-1 exhibits low capacitance (typical ~2.5 pF at VR = 0 V), minimal ESD sensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020), and thermal resistance of 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - enabling reliable regulation under transient load conditions on thermally constrained PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V at IZT = 3.4 mA - defines primary regulation point for stable reference generation |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% - ensures predictable voltage band without binning or post-selection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW - supports continuous regulation up to 13.9 mA at 36 V with proper end-cap cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under ±1 mA load current change |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.093 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; enables compensation in precision references |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA at VR = 26 V - ensures negligible error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in aerospace, downhole, and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package: hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded, cathode band marked, end-cap terminals only - no leads or pads. Dimensions: Ø1.6–1.7 mm × L3.3–3.7 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode End Cap | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode return path | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode End Cap | Zener regulation terminal / reverse-bias anode | Connected to regulated voltage node; banded end must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter shift in humid or high-reliability environments |
| Metallurgical bonding | Ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability under thermal cycling and vibration |
| Radiation hardness (per MicroNote 050) | Validated performance in total ionizing dose (TID) environments typical of space applications |
| Low capacitance (~2.5 pF) | Minimizes signal coupling and noise injection in RF-adjacent or high-speed analog reference paths |
| ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >4 kV HBM without screening or handling controls - simplifies assembly flow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5258B-1 | Same 36 V/5% spec, but in axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package - no surface-mount capability | Requires through-hole PCB layout and manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for automated SMT lines | Select when legacy board repair or mixed-technology assembly mandates axial form factor |
| BZX55C36 | 36 V, 5%, 500 mW in DO-35; higher ZZT (100 Ω vs. 70 Ω); no radiation hardness documentation | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening and radiation qualification - not suitable for space or nuclear-grade use | Select for cost-sensitive commercial applications where radiation tolerance and ultra-low ZZT are non-critical |
Compared with 1N5258B-1 and BZX55C36, the 1N5258BUR-1 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 70 Ω ZZT, and documented radiation hardness - making it the only choice for high-reliability, space-constrained, radiation-exposed designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5258BUR-1?
The 1N5258BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 3.4 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance is defined by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature, and applies across the full operating temperature range without additional derating.
Does the 1N5258BUR-1 require external heat sinking?
No, the 1N5258BUR-1 does not require external heat sinking under standard conditions. Its thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap is 100 °C/W, and it can dissipate its full 500 mW rating when the end-cap temperature remains below 125 °C - achievable via standard FR4 PCB copper area per the recommended footprint in the datasheet.
Is the 1N5258BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5258BUR-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions (marked with "e3" suffix, e.g., 1N5258BUR-1e3), but only for commercial-grade units. The RoHS-compliant variant uses annealed matte-tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5258BUR-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N5258BUR-1 is 0.1 µA when tested at VR = 26 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference divider networks and precision biasing applications.
Can the 1N5258BUR-1 be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N5258BUR-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents its performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure. This makes the 1N5258BUR-1 suitable for satellite, avionics, and nuclear instrumentation applications where radiation-induced parameter shift must be minimized.
