Product details
Overview
1N5266BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 68 V, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package with ±5% tolerance, 230 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5266BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5266BUR-1 pinout, 1N5266BUR-1 application, or 1N5266BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 49 V), radiation-hardened construction, and MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening capability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V at 20 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.097 %/°C above 25 °C. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
The 1N5266BUR-1 delivers stable regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C, with maximum power dissipation of 0.5 W at end-cap temperature <125 °C. Its 100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance enables reliable operation on FR4 PCBs using standard footprint guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 68 V ±5% at 20 mA - sets precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W - limits continuous current to ~7.4 mA at 68 V in steady state |
| Dynamic Impedance | 230 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | <0.1 µA at 49 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
| Thermal Resistance | 100 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap) - requires heatsinking or derating above 50 °C ambient |
| Temp Coefficient | +0.097 %/°C - predicts +66 mV/°C drift near 68 V, critical for temp-stable references |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode indicated by single band; polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to circuit ground or low-side reference node; defines Zener breakdown polarity |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal | Banded end; connected to regulated voltage node; carries full Zener current in reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5266B-1 | Same electrical specs but in axial DO-35 package; lacks MELF mechanical robustness and thermal performance | Suitable for prototyping or low-vibration PCBs where surface-mount constraints don't apply | Select 1N5266B-1 only when through-hole assembly is required and thermal cycling is not a concern |
| MMBZ5266B | Same 68 V/5% rating but SOT-23 package; higher dynamic impedance (300 Ω) and lower power (350 mW) | Used in space-constrained consumer electronics where 0.5 W dissipation is not needed | Choose MMBZ5266B only for cost-sensitive, low-power designs with adequate board-level heatsinking |
Compared with 1N5266B-1 and MMBZ5266B, the 1N5266BUR-1 offers superior thermal resistance (100 °C/W vs. >300 °C/W), radiation hardness, and mechanical reliability-making it the sole choice for mission-critical, high-reliability, or high-temperature deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5266BUR-1?
The 1N5266BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and is maintained across the full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.
Does the 1N5266BUR-1 support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N5266BUR-1 supports up-screening per MIL-PRF-19500 specifications, as confirmed in the official Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0232-1. Screening options are designated by reliability level prefixes (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, MSP) added before the base part number, enabling qualification for military and space applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5266BUR-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5266BUR-1 is 0.1 µA when tested at 49 V (75% of nominal 68 V), per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference circuits and precision analog systems.
Is the 1N5266BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, RoHS-compliant versions of the 1N5266BUR-1 are available for commercial-grade use only, identified by the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5266BUR-1e3). The RoHS version uses annealed matte-tin plating on end caps and meets lead-free soldering requirements per JEDEC J-STD-020.
What package type does the 1N5266BUR-1 use?
The 1N5266BUR-1 uses the DO-213AA package, also known as SOD-80 or MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face), a hermetically sealed glass cylindrical surface-mount package with metallurgically bonded internal structure and cathode band marking.
