Product details
Overview
1N5262BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 51 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in a DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, reference supplies, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 2.5 mA test current, 125 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5262BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5262BUR-1 pinout, 1N5262BUR-1 application, or 1N5262BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 250 °C/W), low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 39 V), radiation-hardened construction, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening capability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal reverse-biased voltage reference, operating in the Zener breakdown region with a nominal 51 V regulation at 2.5 mA. Its metallurgically bonded glass structure ensures hermetic sealing and stable performance under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.096 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. The DO-213AA package supports automated SMT placement while maintaining low parasitic capacitance (typ. <2 pF) and high reliability in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 51 V ±5% at 2.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for reference and clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W - limits continuous power handling on FR4 PCBs without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 125 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage IR | <0.1 µA at 39 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.096 %/°C - enables accurate drift modeling across –65 °C to +175 °C operating range |
| Junction Temp Range TJ | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in aerospace, industrial, and downhole electronics |
| Thermal Resistance RθJA | 250 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area design to avoid derating below 50 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80 / MLL34) metallurgically bonded glass MELF package with cathode band marking; hermetically sealed, RoHS-compliant matte-tin end caps; weight 0.04 g; dimensions A = 1.60–1.70 mm, B = 3.30–3.70 mm, C = 0.41–0.55 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments |
| MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening option | Enables qualification for military/aerospace applications requiring enhanced reliability screening |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-grade and nuclear instrumentation |
| Low capacitance (~2 pF typical) | Minimizes signal coupling and noise injection in RF-adjacent or high-speed analog reference paths |
| ESD robustness (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >4 kV HBM without parameter shift - reduces handling sensitivity in production |
Applications
| High-Voltage Reference Supply | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision 51 V reference for ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation in industrial data acquisition systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt voltage reference providing stable DC reference independent of load current variation. Use Value: Tight 5% tolerance and +0.096 %/°C TC enable sub-0.5% total error over –40 °C to +85 °C without calibration. | Use Scenario: Input rail protection for 48 V telecom power interfaces against transient surges and ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamping element limiting voltage to 51 V before downstream LDOs or interface ICs. Use Value: Low leakage (<0.1 µA) avoids loading sensitive upstream sources; glass package withstands repeated surge stress. |
| Temperature-Stable Bias Network | Radiation-Hardened Instrumentation |
Use Scenario: Biasing amplifier stages in downhole oilfield logging tools exposed to >150 °C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-based current source generator where regulation voltage sets bias current via series resistor. Use Value: Extended junction temperature range (–65 °C to +175 °C) and known TC allow predictable bias current drift modeling. | Use Scenario: Voltage reference in satellite telemetry modules requiring TID tolerance and SEE immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened shunt regulator maintaining stable supply for critical timing and control ICs. Use Value: Inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 eliminates need for shielding or redundancy overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5262B-1 | Same electrical specs but in axial DO-35 (DO-204AH) package; no MELF form factor | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy board compatibility or manual prototyping is prioritized over space and automation |
| BZX55C51 | 51 V, ±5%, 500 mW in DO-35; higher ZZT (150 Ω vs. 125 Ω); no MIL-PRF-19500 screening path | Lacks radiation hardness documentation and upscreening support; limited to commercial-grade use | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where radiation or extended temp range is not required |
Compared with 1N5262B-1 and BZX55C51, the 1N5262BUR-1 uniquely combines SMT-ready MELF packaging, documented radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening eligibility - making it the only choice for space-constrained, high-reliability, or radiation-exposed designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5262BUR-1?
The 1N5262BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5% at 2.5 mA test current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Microsemi T4-LDS-0232-1 datasheet. This tolerance applies to the "B" suffix variant and is verified under standard 25 °C conditions.
Does the 1N5262BUR-1 support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N5262BUR-1 supports upscreening in accordance with MIL-PRF-19500, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the datasheet. Screening options depend on reliability level suffix (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, MSP) and must be specified at order time; commercial-grade units (blank suffix) do not include screening by default.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N5262BUR-1 on a standard FR4 PCB?
The 1N5262BUR-1 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 0.5 W when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. Derating begins above 50 °C ambient or if end cap temperature exceeds 125 °C, per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Is the 1N5262BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, RoHS-compliant versions of the 1N5262BUR-1 are available for commercial-grade use only, indicated by the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5262BUR-1e3). The standard part without "e3" uses tin-lead plating and is not RoHS compliant.
What is the temperature coefficient of the 1N5262BUR-1 and how does it affect regulation?
The 1N5262BUR-1 has a temperature coefficient of +0.096 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 49 mV per 10 °C rise above 25 °C. This predictable positive drift allows designers to compensate for thermal effects in precision reference circuits using known ambient or junction temperature data.
