Product details
Overview
1N5260BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 43 V, 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package with ±5% tolerance, 3.0 mA test current, and 93 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5260BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5260BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5260BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5260BUR-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant packaging details, and direct alternatives for industrial power management design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V at 3.0 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and maximum reverse leakage of 0.1 µA at 31 V. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 250 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu) and RθJEC = 100 °C/W to end cap, with power derating beginning at TA > 50 °C or TEC > 125 °C. Forward voltage is capped at 1.1 V @ 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±5% at 3.0 mA - sets stable reference point for feedback loops and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - limits continuous regulation current to ~11.6 mA at 43 V without heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 93 Ω at IZT = 3.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at 31 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.095 %/°C - predicts +40.85 mV/°C drift, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Package | DO-213AA (SOD80/MELF) - cylindrical glass body with end-cap terminations, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package: hermetically sealed glass cylinder with two solderable end caps; cathode identified by single black band; polarity requires banded end to be positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; carries full Zener current during regulation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 43 V reference; must be biased positive relative to anode to maintain breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgically bonded glass construction | Enables hermetic sealing and intrinsic radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, suitable for space-grade analog circuits |
| Minimal capacitance (typ. <1.5 pF) | Preserves high-frequency stability in RF bias networks and fast-switching clamp applications |
| ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and board-level assembly |
| RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating | Supports lead-free reflow (260 °C, 10 s) and eliminates tin whisker risk in long-life deployments |
| MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening option | Enables qualification for military/aerospace use with traceable lot documentation and extended testing |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 43 V reference for TL431-based adjustable regulators or op-amp feedback networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference element setting output voltage accuracy and line/load regulation. Use Value: ±5% initial tolerance and +0.095 %/°C TC enable ≤±8% total drift over –40 to +85 °C ambient, meeting industrial PSU specs. |
Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on 36 V DC bus lines in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt protection device diverting excess energy to ground when bus exceeds 43 V threshold. Use Value: 0.5 W power rating sustains 11.6 mA clamping current continuously; low 93 Ω ZZT ensures tight voltage holdover during fast spikes. |
| Temperature-Stable Bias Network | Radiation-Hardened Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Generating bias current for high-precision current sources in medical instrumentation amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage source establishing fixed VBE multiplier or resistor-divider ratio. Use Value: Low 0.1 µA leakage at 31 V prevents loading of high-impedance bias nodes; minimal capacitance avoids phase shift in feedback paths. |
Use Scenario: Voltage reference in satellite payload sensor front-ends exposed to total ionizing dose (TID). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened Zener providing invariant reference despite cumulative TID exposure. Use Value: Inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 eliminates need for shielding or redundancy, reducing SWaP-C in LEO missions. |
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/TR | Same 43 V, ±5%, 0.5 W rating but in axial DO-35 (not surface-mount); no metallurgical bond; non-RoHS default | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for automated SMT assembly or high-reliability hermetic requirements | Select only if legacy through-hole compatibility or cost sensitivity outweighs SMT efficiency and radiation hardness needs |
| BZX55C43-TR | 43 V, ±5%, 0.5 W in DO-35; silicon planar construction; typical ZZT = 100 Ω; no radiation hardness claim | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening path and intrinsic radiation tolerance; higher capacitance (~2 pF) | Prefer for commercial consumer designs where cost and availability dominate; avoid in aerospace or high-TID environments |
Compared with 1N5260B-1/TR and BZX55C43-TR, the 1N5260BUR-1/TR uniquely combines SMT DO-213AA packaging, metallurgical bonding, RoHS compliance, and documented radiation hardness-making it the only choice for space-qualified or high-reliability industrial reference designs requiring hermetic integrity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5260BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5260BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 3.0 mA. This tolerance corresponds to the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and defines the initial voltage accuracy before temperature and aging effects.
Is the 1N5260BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free reflow?
Yes, the 1N5260BUR-1/TR features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its end caps and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, making it suitable for modern environmentally regulated manufacturing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5260BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5260BUR-1/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 31 V, ensuring minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference and bias circuits across its operating temperature range.
Does the 1N5260BUR-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5260BUR-1/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050 due to its metallurgically bonded glass construction, though formal TID or SEE test reports require separate qualification documentation from Microchip.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the 1N5260BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5260BUR-1/TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 250 °C/W on FR4 with 1 oz copper and begins derating linearly above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power at 175 °C junction temperature.
