Product details
Overview
1N5268BE3/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 82 V, ±5% tolerance glass axial-lead Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for operation from –65 °C to +175 °C, with 2000 Ω maximum zener impedance at 0.25 mA and 330 Ω at 1.5 mA test current - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5268BE3/TR datasheet, 1N5268BE3/TR pinout, 1N5268BE3/TR application, or 1N5268BE3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5% B-suffix), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), low temperature coefficient (+0.098 %/°C), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, with cathode band marking polarity. It delivers stable 82 V regulation across 0.25–1.5 mA test currents and maintains performance over –65 °C to +175 °C ambient range.
Its DO-35 glass package provides hermetic sealing, ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF at 0 V). Thermal resistance is specified at 250 °C/W junction-to-lead with 3/8″ lead length, enabling reliable power dissipation up to 500 mW at 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 82 V @ 1.5 mA test current - defines primary regulation point for feedback loops and reference circuits. |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% (B suffix) - ensures voltage accuracy within ±4.1 V at 25 °C for stable biasing in analog circuitry. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in low-power supply rails without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance | 330 Ω @ IZT = 1.5 mA; 2000 Ω @ IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates dynamic resistance affecting regulation stability under varying load. |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.098 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift with temperature, critical for high-accuracy references over wide operating ranges. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables use in aerospace, downhole, and automotive under-hood applications. |
| Forward Voltage | ≤1.5 V @ 200 mA - defines conduction threshold in forward direction for clamping or protection functions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5268BRLG | Same electrical specs; surface-mount MELF DO-213AA package instead of axial DO-35; no TR tape-and-reel option. | Requires PCB redesign for SMT vs. through-hole; better high-frequency performance due to lower inductance. | Select 1N5268BRLG only if board space constraints mandate SMT or RF noise immunity is prioritized over manual assembly flexibility. |
| MMBZ5268BLT1G | SOT-23 package; same 82 V, ±5%; lower 225 mW power rating; 1000 Ω Zzt @ 1.5 mA (vs. 330 Ω). | Not suitable for 500 mW continuous dissipation; limited to low-current biasing or transient clamping in portable electronics. | Choose MMBZ5268BLT1G only for space-constrained consumer devices where full 500 mW capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N5268BE3/TR, 1N5268BRLG offers identical regulation but requires SMT rework, while MMBZ5268BLT1G sacrifices power handling and impedance for miniaturization - making 1N5268BE3/TR optimal for ruggedized, high-reliability through-hole designs demanding full 500 mW capability and low dynamic impedance.

The 1N5268BE3/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 82 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix per Microsemi's documentation. This means the actual breakdown voltage falls between 77.9 V and 86.1 V at 25 °C under 1.5 mA test current, meeting JEDEC 1N5268B specifications.
Does the 1N5268BE3/TR have RoHS-compliant plating?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N5268BE3/TR explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, replacing traditional tin-lead finishes while maintaining solderability and reliability in high-temperature environments.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N5268BE3/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N5268BE3/TR specifies tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly despite its axial-lead DO-35 package - a key feature for high-volume manufacturing of industrial and automotive boards.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal resistance of the 1N5268BE3/TR?
The 1N5268BE3/TR has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C, derating linearly above that temperature. Its thermal resistance is 250 °C/W junction-to-lead at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the glass body, as confirmed in Microsemi's datasheet Figure 1 and Maximum Ratings table.
Is the 1N5268BE3/TR suitable for high-temperature applications like downhole oil & gas sensors?
Yes, the 1N5268BE3/TR is rated for operation from –65 °C to +175 °C and features inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. Its DO-35 glass package and stable +0.098 %/°C temperature coefficient make it suitable for downhole sensor conditioning circuits where long-term reliability at sustained 150 °C is required.
