Product details
Overview
1N5261BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 47 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in a DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) glass package, rated for 500 mW steady-state power dissipation, with dynamic impedance of 105 Ω at 2.7 mA test current and temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5261BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5261BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5261BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5261BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 34 V), hermetic glass sealing, and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining stable 47 V regulation across 2.7 mA to 105 mA operating current (IZK to IZM). Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures long-term stability and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, with minimal capacitance (~1.5 pF typical) and ESD insensitivity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020).
The DO-213AA package enables high thermal performance on FR4 boards (RθJEC = 100 °C/W), supporting operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Voltage regulation is specified at 25 °C with derating above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature per Figure 2.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5261B-1TR | Same 47 V, 5% spec but in axial DO-35 package; RθJA = 500 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W for DO-213AA | Larger board footprint; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or high-reliability hermetic requirements | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX55-C47-TAP | 47 V, 5% Zener in DO-35; higher max leakage (1.0 µA @ 34 V); no radiation hardness documentation | Lower cost but not qualified to MIL-PRF-19500; limited to commercial-grade instrumentation | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where radiation tolerance and ultra-low leakage are non-critical |
Compared with 1N5261B-1TR and BZX55-C47-TAP, the 1N5261BUR-1/TR offers superior thermal performance in SMT layouts, guaranteed hermeticity, and documented radiation hardness-making it the preferred choice for aerospace, medical, and industrial systems requiring long-term parametric stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5261BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5261BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a ±5% tolerance, verified at a test current (IZT) of 2.7 mA. This tolerance is indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature, and the device is characterized across its full operating temperature range from –65 °C to +175 °C.
Does the 1N5261BUR-1/TR support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the 1N5261BUR-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. Its DO-213AA glass package remains structurally intact and electrically stable under these conditions.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5261BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5261BUR-1/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 34 V, measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference designs and minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-operated systems.
Is the 1N5261BUR-1/TR suitable for high-reliability aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N5261BUR-1/TR is metallurgically bonded and hermetically sealed in glass, with documented radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. While the commercial "UR" version is not screened to MIL-PRF-19500, its base construction and characterization support use in non-military aerospace subsystems where intrinsic reliability is prioritized.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5261BUR-1/TR compare between junction-to-ambient and junction-to-end-cap?
The 1N5261BUR-1/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 100 °C/W and a junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA) of 250 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. This 2.5× difference confirms that heatsinking via the end caps delivers significantly better thermal performance than relying on PCB convection alone.
