Product details
Overview
1N5266BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 68 V, 5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) package, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection. It delivers stable regulation at 20 mA test current with 230 Ω dynamic impedance and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5266BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5266BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5266BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5266BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (100 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 49 V), radiation hardness, and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability.
Technical Context
This device implements a metallurgically bonded glass-junction Zener structure optimized for stable breakdown behavior under DC bias. Its 68 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a +0.097 %/°C temperature coefficient above 25 °C, requiring derating above 50 °C ambient or 125 °C end-cap temperature per MIL-PRF-19500-aligned screening options.
It operates with minimal capacitance (typical ~1.5 pF at 68 V), enabling use in high-frequency reference and noise-sensitive analog circuits. The hermetically sealed DO-213AA package ensures long-term stability and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5266B-1/TR | Same 68 V, 5% spec but in axial DO-35 package; higher RθJA (300 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W) | Lacks MELF's vibration resistance and thermal cycling robustness; unsuitable for high-reliability SMT assemblies | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX55C68-TR | 68 V, 5% Zener in DO-35; 500 mW rating but no MIL-PRF-19500 screening or radiation hardness data | Commercial-only qualification; not validated for aerospace or nuclear environments | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where radiation tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5266B-1/TR and BZX55C68-TR, the 1N5266BUR-1/TR uniquely combines surface-mount MELF packaging, metallurgical bonding, documented radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability - making it the only choice for mission-critical SMT voltage references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5266BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5266BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 68 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and remains stable across its full operating temperature range due to its metallurgically bonded construction.
Is 1N5266BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5266BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with annealed matte-tin end-cap plating suitable for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds. RoHS compliance applies only to the commercial-grade version; military-screened variants (MQ/MX/MV/MSP) retain tin-lead terminations unless otherwise specified.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5266BUR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5266BUR-1/TR is 0.1 µA at 49 V (73% of VZ). This ultra-low leakage is critical for high-impedance reference circuits and ensures minimal error contribution in precision analog designs, especially at elevated temperatures where leakage typically increases.
Can 1N5266BUR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N5266BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience without parameter degradation. Its metallurgically bonded glass structure and hermetic DO-213AA package make it suitable for satellite power systems, nuclear instrumentation, and high-altitude avionics where radiation-induced failure must be avoided.
What is the thermal resistance of 1N5266BUR-1/TR, and how does it affect layout?
The 1N5266BUR-1/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 250 °C/W on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended footprint. To maintain safe operation below 125 °C end-cap temperature, PCB copper area around end caps must follow Microsemi's pad layout (5.08 mm × 1.40 mm), and power dissipation must be derated above 50 °C ambient.
