Product details
Overview
1N5261BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 47 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package, rated for ±5% voltage tolerance at 20 mA test current, with 105 Ω dynamic impedance and +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5261BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5261BUR-1 pinout, 1N5261BUR-1 application, or 1N5261BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, hermetic glass packaging, thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining 47 V regulation at IZT = 20 mA with ZZT = 105 Ω and αVZ = +0.095 %/°C. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it exhibits TJ/TSTG = –65 to +175 °C, RθJA = 250 °C/W, and VF ≤ 1.1 V at 200 mA forward current - enabling reliable operation in compact, high-reliability analog subsystems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5261B-1 | Same 47 V, ±5%, 0.5 W rating but in axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package | Requires through-hole PCB layout; higher RθJA (~300 °C/W) limits power handling in dense layouts | Select for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required |
| BZX55C47 | 47 V, ±5%, 0.5 W in DO-35; higher ZZT (120 Ω), no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Lacks radiation hardness certification and hermetic glass seal; limited to commercial-grade environments | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where radiation tolerance and long-term stability are non-critical |
Compared with 1N5261B-1 and BZX55C47, the 1N5261BUR-1 offers superior thermal performance in SMT layouts, guaranteed radiation hardness, and optional military screening - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability analog systems requiring stable 47 V references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for the 1N5261BUR-1?
The 1N5261BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current IZT of 20 mA and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed per the "B" suffix in the part number and applies across the full operating temperature range when used within its power and thermal limits.
Does the 1N5261BUR-1 have a defined pinout or lead configuration?
The 1N5261BUR-1 uses a DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package with two end-cap terminals - no traditional pins. The cathode is marked by a single band; the banded end connects to the higher-potential node during Zener operation. Polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction instead of regulation.
Is the 1N5261BUR-1 suitable for high-reliability or aerospace applications?
Yes - the 1N5261BUR-1 is inherently radiation-hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and supports optional up-screening to MIL-PRF-19500 specifications. Its hermetic glass construction, –65 to +175 °C junction range, and metallurgical bond make it qualified for aerospace, defense, and critical industrial systems where long-term stability is mandatory.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5261BUR-1, and at what voltage is it specified?
The 1N5261BUR-1 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current IR of 0.1 µA, specified at a reverse voltage VR of 34 V - which is 72% of its nominal 47 V Zener voltage. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and precision reference circuits without introducing measurable error.
Can the 1N5261BUR-1 be used in RoHS-compliant designs?
Yes - RoHS-compliant versions of the 1N5261BUR-1 are available with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5261BUR-1e3), featuring annealed matte-tin plating on end caps. These meet commercial-grade RoHS requirements; however, MIL-PRF-19500 screened variants remain non-RoHS due to tin-lead plating requirements for solderability and reliability.
