Product details
Overview
1N5260BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 43 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package with ±5% tolerance, 93 Ω dynamic impedance at 3.0 mA test current, and +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient. It regulates voltage in precision reference and low-power bias circuits across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5260BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5260BUR-1 pinout, 1N5260BUR-1 application, or 1N5260BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability over temperature, low leakage (<0.1 µA at 31 V), hermetic glass packaging for reliability, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR4 boards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal breakdown voltage of 43 V at 3.0 mA (IZT). Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures stable junction characteristics and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient (on FR4, 1 oz Cu), requiring derating above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature to maintain 500 mW power dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±5% at 3.0 mA - defines stable regulation point for reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - maximum continuous DC power under specified thermal conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 93 Ω at IZT = 3.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.1 µA at VR = 31 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.095 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift magnitude over operating temperature range |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh industrial and aerospace environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at 200 mA - relevant for forward-conduction protection or polarity checking |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80 or MLL34) MELF glass package with axial symmetry and cathode band marking. End-cap terminals are solderable per MIL-STD-750, method 2026. No discrete pins - bidirectional cylindrical terminals with polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection during regulation | Connected to higher potential node; reverse bias enables breakdown conduction |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection during regulation | Connected to 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 robust die attachment and stable thermal performance under thermal cycling |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently radiation-tolerant per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified designs |
| ESD insensitivity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling |
| Low capacitance | Typical ~1.5 pF (per Figure 3) - preserves high-frequency signal integrity in RF bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5260B-1 | Same electrical specs but in axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package; no MELF form factor | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT assemblies | Select when legacy through-hole manufacturing or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX55-C43 | 43 V ±5%, 500 mW, but in DO-35 package with higher ZZT (100 Ω) and wider tempco (±0.09 %/°C) | Limited to commercial-grade use; not radiation-hardened or MIL-PRF-19500 up-screenable | Select for cost-sensitive commercial applications where radiation tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5260B-1 and BZX55-C43, the 1N5260BUR-1 uniquely combines SMT-compatible MELF packaging, inherent radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability - making it the only choice for space-grade or high-reliability embedded systems requiring hermetic Zener references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5260BUR-1?
The 1N5260BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies under standard test conditions at 25 °C with 3.0 mA test current, and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C.
Is 1N5260BUR-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, the 1N5260BUR-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and supports MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening. Its hermetically sealed DO-213AA glass package and metallurgical bonding make the 1N5260BUR-1 appropriate for low-earth orbit and other space-grade applications where single-event effects and total ionizing dose resistance are required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5260BUR-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N5260BUR-1 is 0.1 µA when tested at VR = 31 V (73% of nominal VZ), per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0232-1 datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference designs and minimizes error in precision analog circuits using the 1N5260BUR-1.
Can 1N5260BUR-1 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N5260BUR-1 is rated for solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds (TSP), fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its DO-213AA package and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating meet MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability requirements, ensuring reliable joint formation during automated SMT assembly of the 1N5260BUR-1.
How does the temperature coefficient of 1N5260BUR-1 affect its regulation accuracy?
The 1N5260BUR-1 has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 40.85 mV per °C rise from 25 °C. Over a –40 °C to +85 °C range, this results in ~12.7 V total drift - critical to model in precision reference designs. The 1N5260BUR-1's predictable αVZ enables accurate compensation in systems requiring tight voltage stability.
