Product details
Overview
1N5263BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V at 2.2 mA test current, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), and 150 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It features hermetically sealed DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package, -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5263BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5263BUR-1 pinout, 1N5263BUR-1 application, or 1N5263BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, temperature coefficient (+0.096 %/°C), low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 43 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 250 °C/W), and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening eligibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, delivering stable 56 V regulation across 0.25 mA to 2.2 mA operating current (IZK to IZT). Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The 1N5263BUR-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.096 %/°C, indicating increasing Zener voltage with rising temperature - critical for thermal drift compensation in analog references. Its 1300 Ω Zener impedance at IZK = 0.25 mA and 150 Ω at IZT = 2.2 mA defines regulation stiffness under varying load conditions.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5263BUR-1?
The 1N5263BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies at 2.2 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and is maintained across the full -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range per specification.
Does the 1N5263BUR-1 have a specified maximum reverse leakage current?
Yes - the 1N5263BUR-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 43 V (VR = 0.76 × VZ), measured at 25 °C. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision reference applications where shunt current must be tightly controlled.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N5263BUR-1, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The 1N5263BUR-1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 250 °C/W when mounted on an FR4 board with 1 oz copper and Microsemi's recommended footprint. To maintain safe operation at full 0.5 W dissipation, the end cap temperature must stay below 125 °C - requiring adequate copper area and airflow in layout design.
Is the 1N5263BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 1N5263BUR-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5263BUR-1e3), featuring annealed matte-tin plating on end caps. RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade units; screened versions follow MIL-PRF-19500 requirements and may retain leaded finishes.
Can the 1N5263BUR-1 be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes - the 1N5263BUR-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience without parameter degradation. This makes the 1N5263BUR-1 suitable for satellite power systems, nuclear instrumentation, and other high-radiation applications where standard Zeners would degrade.
