Product details
Overview
1N5276B from Microsemi is a 150 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass axial-lead Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for 0.85 mA test current and 10 μA maximum reverse leakage at 120 V, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5276B datasheet, 1N5276B pinout, 1N5276B application, or 1N5276B equivalent, this part serves as a stable, temperature-compensated voltage reference with +0.110 %/°C tempco, RoHS-compliant plating, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening options when prefixed.
Technical Context
The 1N5276B operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 150 V across its terminals within ±5% tolerance. Its Zener impedance is 5000 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA and 1500 Ω at IZT = 0.85 mA, indicating moderate dynamic regulation performance under light-load conditions.
Designed for operation from –65°C to +175°C, it features a hermetically sealed glass DO-35 package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, cathode band marking, and 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 3/8″ lead length - enabling reliable use in high-reliability industrial and aerospace environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5276A | ±10% tolerance (vs. ±5% for 1N5276B), otherwise identical electrical and mechanical specs | Acceptable where cost-sensitive designs tolerate wider voltage spread (e.g., non-critical clamping) | Select 1N5276A only if ±10% regulation window meets system margin requirements |
| MMBZ5276B (SOT-23) | Same 150 V/±5% spec but in surface-mount SOT-23 package; 225 mW power rating vs. 500 mW | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs but not for >225 mW dissipation or high-reliability through-hole mounting | Choose MMBZ5276B only for automated SMT assembly and ≤225 mW continuous power needs |
Compared with 1N5276A and MMBZ5276B, the 1N5276B uniquely combines ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass-package ruggedness, and MIL-qualified screening readiness - making it the preferred choice for high-stability, high-reliability through-hole voltage references.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5276B?
The 1N5276B has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix per JEDEC standard. This tolerance is verified at 0.85 mA test current and 25°C ambient, and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +175°C per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Does the 1N5276B require heatsinking in typical applications?
The 1N5276B does not require external heatsinking when operated below 500 mW at 25°C ambient, thanks to its 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 3/8″ lead length. Derating begins above 25°C per Figure 1 in the datasheet - at 70°C ambient, max power drops to ~350 mW, still sufficient for most reference and clamp roles without added thermal mass.
Can the 1N5276B be used in RoHS-compliant designs?
Yes - the 1N5276B is available in RoHS-compliant form with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5276Be3), featuring annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. The base 1N5276B uses traditional tin-lead plating, so designers must specify "e3" explicitly for lead-free compliance.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5276B?
The 1N5276B specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 10 μA at VR = 120 V, measured per Note 2 in the Microsemi datasheet. This value is guaranteed across the full temperature range and reflects tight process control for low-power standby operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems.
Is the 1N5276B suitable for military-grade applications?
Yes - the 1N5276B can be ordered with military screening prefixes (e.g., MQ1N5276B for JAN, MV1N5276B for JANTXV) per MIL-PRF-19500, supporting applications requiring extended temperature validation, burn-in, and lot traceability. These variants retain identical electrical specs and DO-35 packaging as the commercial 1N5276B.
