Product details
Overview
1N5270BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 91 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection at 1.4 mA test current with 400 Ω dynamic impedance.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5270BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5270BUR-1 pinout, 1N5270BUR-1 application, or 1N5270BUR-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant plating options, and direct alternatives for stable voltage reference design under industrial temperature extremes.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased silicon Zener regulator with metallurgical bonding for enhanced thermal stability and hermetic sealing. Its 91 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at IZT = 1.4 mA, with αVZ = +0.099 %/°C and ZZT = 400 Ω - confirming stable regulation above 68 V where positive temperature coefficient dominates.
The DO-213AA package enables high-reliability surface mounting with RθJA = 250 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu), requiring end-cap temperature control below 125 °C to sustain full 500 mW dissipation. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 µA at VR = 69 V, supporting low-power biasing in precision analog circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 1.4 mA - sets precise regulation point for high-voltage references |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W maximum - limits continuous current to ~5.5 mA at 91 V without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 400 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.099 %/°C - ensures predictable VZ increase with temperature above 68 V |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 69 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in standby circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.1 V max at IF = 200 mA - defines forward conduction threshold for polarity verification |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode identified by single black band; no leads - terminals are metallized end caps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection in reverse-bias configuration | Must be held at higher potential than anode to enable breakdown regulation at 91 V |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection in reverse-bias configuration | Reference ground or return node; carries full regulated current during operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgically bonded construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal cycling, extending life in harsh environments |
| Hermetically sealed glass package | Prevents moisture ingress and corrosion, enabling >10-year reliability in unsealed enclosures |
| MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening option | Supports qualification to Class B or S levels for defense/aerospace applications |
| RoHS-compliant version (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating (commercial grade only) |
| Low capacitance (typ. <2 pF) | Minimizes signal coupling in RF bias networks and high-frequency reference filtering |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5270B-1 (DO-35 axial) | Same electrical specs but axial-leaded DO-35 package; RθJA = 500 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W | Requires through-hole PCB assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy board compatibility or manual prototyping outweighs thermal performance needs |
| BZX55C91 (Nexperia) | 91 V ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35; ZZT = 450 Ω; αVZ = +0.09 %/°C; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening | Limited to commercial temp range (-65 °C to +150 °C); not radiation-hardened | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where extended temperature and radiation tolerance are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5270B-1 and BZX55C91, the 1N5270BUR-1 provides superior thermal resistance in SMT form, MIL-qualified screening paths, and documented radiation hardness - making it the only choice for space-grade or high-reliability embedded systems requiring 91 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5270BUR-1?
The 1N5270BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 91 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies at IZT = 1.4 mA and TA = 25 °C, and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C.
Does 1N5270BUR-1 support RoHS compliance?
Yes - the 1N5270BUR-1 is available in RoHS-compliant form with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5270BUR-1e3), featuring annealed matte-tin end-cap plating. RoHS compliance is offered for commercial-grade units only; screened versions (JAN/JANTX) retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
What is the maximum power dissipation for 1N5270BUR-1 at 100 °C ambient?
At TA = 100 °C, the 1N5270BUR-1 must be derated per its power derating curve: full 500 mW is allowed only up to TA = 50 °C or TEC = 125 °C. At 100 °C ambient on FR4 (1 oz Cu), dissipation is limited to approximately 250 mW - confirmed by linear derating from Figure 2 in T4-LDS-0232-1 Rev. 1.
Can 1N5270BUR-1 be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes - the 1N5270BUR-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance exceeding 100 krad(Si). This makes the 1N5270BUR-1 suitable for satellite power systems, nuclear instrumentation, and downhole drilling electronics.
What is the cathode marking convention for 1N5270BUR-1?
The 1N5270BUR-1 uses a single black cathode band on the glass body to identify the cathode terminal. When operated in Zener mode, the banded end must be biased positively relative to the unbanded (anode) end - consistent with standard Zener diode polarity notation and DO-213AA mechanical orientation.
