Product details
Overview
1N5275BE3 from Microsemi is a 140 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass axial-lead Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for operation from −65 °C to +175 °C, with 1300 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.25 mA and 0.1 μA maximum reverse leakage at 112 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-temperature industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5275BE3 datasheet, 1N5275BE3 pinout, 1N5275BE3 application, or 1N5275BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability across temperature, low leakage at rated VR, thermal resistance (310 °C/W on FR4), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and JEDEC-registered qualification per MIL-PRF-19500 screening options.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a sharp knee characteristic verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its temperature coefficient of +0.110 %/°C applies under IZT = 0.90 mA, T1 = 25 °C, T2 = 125 °C per Note 3b.
The 1N5275BE3 uses hermetically sealed glass construction with cathode band polarity marking, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating, and is rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s max). It exhibits minimal capacitance per Figure 2 and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 140 V at 0.90 mA test current - defines regulation setpoint under standard bias |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% (B suffix) - guarantees actual VZ between 133 V and 147 V at 25 °C |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to 0 W at 175 °C - sets thermal design margin on PCB |
| Zener Impedance | 1300 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates regulation stiffness near knee current |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.1 μA max at VR = 112 V - ensures low standby power loss in clamp circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5275B | No "e3" RoHS suffix; tin-lead plating instead of matte-tin | Not compliant with lead-free assembly mandates | Select only for legacy rework or non-RoHS programs |
| MMBZ5275B | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 225 mW power rating; same 140 V/±5% spec | Lower power handling and different thermal path; unsuitable for 500 mW continuous dissipation | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where derated operation is acceptable |
Compared with 1N5275B and MMBZ5275B, the 1N5275BE3 uniquely combines full 500 mW DO-35 power capability, RoHS compliance, and guaranteed JEDEC registration - making it the sole option for new high-reliability, high-temperature, lead-free through-hole designs requiring 140 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N5275BE3 before breakdown?
The 1N5275BE3 has a nominal Zener voltage of 140 V at 0.90 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance. Its guaranteed breakdown range is 133 V to 147 V at 25 °C. The device is not rated for continuous operation above 147 V in regulation mode; exceeding this risks thermal runaway unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
Does the 1N5275BE3 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the "e3" suffix on 1N5275BE3 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per Microsemi documentation. It features annealed matte-tin plating qualified to MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, eliminating lead content while maintaining solderability and reliability in high-temperature reflow profiles.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the 1N5275BE3 on a standard FR4 board?
The 1N5275BE3 has a thermal resistance of 310 °C/W junction-to-ambient when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm traces. This value determines safe power derating: at 100 °C ambient, maximum dissipation drops to ~240 mW to keep junction temperature ≤175 °C.
Can the 1N5275BE3 be used in place of the 1N5275B without layout changes?
Yes - the 1N5275BE3 shares identical DO-35 mechanical dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications with the 1N5275B. The only difference is the RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating versus tin-lead; no PCB layout or schematic modifications are required for drop-in replacement in new or existing designs.
What is the Zener impedance of the 1N5275BE3 at its specified test current?
The 1N5275BE3 does not specify Zener impedance at IZT = 0.90 mA. Instead, its dynamic impedance is characterized at IZK = 0.25 mA as 1300 Ω (ZZK), per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value reflects regulation stiffness near the knee of the breakdown curve, critical for low-current reference applications.
