Product details
Overview
1N5277BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 160 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in a hermetically sealed DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package, designed for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained industrial power supplies and reference circuits operating from -65 °C to +175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5277BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5277BUR-1 pinout, 1N5277BUR-1 application, or 1N5277BUR-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, Zener impedance at test current, temperature coefficient, and RoHS-compliant packaging details critical for high-reliability analog design.
Technical Context
The 1N5277BUR-1 operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with nominal VZ = 160 V at IZT = 0.80 mA, exhibiting αVZ = +0.110 %/°C and dynamic impedance ZZT = 1700 Ω. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across wide temperature excursions.
It is rated for 0.5 W steady-state dissipation with RθJA = 250 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu), requiring end-cap temperature TEC < 125 °C or ambient TA < 50 °C for full power operation - consistent with MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening options.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5277B-1 | Same VZ, tolerance, and electrical specs; axial DO-35 package instead of surface-mount DO-213AA | Requires through-hole PCB layout and wave-solder process; unsuitable for automated SMT assembly | Select 1N5277B-1 only when legacy through-hole compatibility or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX84-C160 | 160 V Zener in SOT-23; 350 mW rating; higher ZZT (~2500 Ω); ±5% tolerance; not radiation-hardened | Limited to commercial-grade, lower-power applications; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening and hermetic seal | Choose BZX84-C160 for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where radiation hardness and extended temperature range are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5277B-1 and BZX84-C160, the 1N5277BUR-1 uniquely combines surface-mount MELF reliability, hermetic sealing, radiation hardness, and high-temperature operation - making it irreplaceable in aerospace, downhole, and defense systems where failure modes must be eliminated.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for the 1N5277BUR-1?
The 1N5277BUR-1 has a nominal Zener voltage VZ of 160 V measured at a test current IZT of 0.80 mA. This value is guaranteed within ±5% tolerance at 25 °C and defines the primary regulation point for shunt reference applications. The device maintains this voltage across its specified operating current range while exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.110 %/°C.
Is the 1N5277BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5277BUR-1 is available in RoHS-compliant versions (marked with suffix "e3") for commercial-grade use. These variants feature annealed matte-tin plating on end caps and meet lead-free soldering requirements per J-STD-020. Non-RoHS versions (blank suffix) use tin-lead plating and are intended for legacy or high-reliability applications where Pb-based solder is specified.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the 1N5277BUR-1?
The 1N5277BUR-1 is rated for 0.5 W steady-state power dissipation. Full power is allowed only when the end-cap temperature remains below 125 °C or ambient temperature stays below 50 °C on FR4 board (1 oz Cu). Derating follows a linear curve beyond those limits, with RθJA = 250 °C/W defining the thermal resistance from junction to ambient under standard mounting conditions.
Does the 1N5277BUR-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5277BUR-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents its tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) without parametric degradation. While not individually certified to MIL-STD-883, its metallurgically bonded glass construction and process heritage make it suitable for low-earth orbit and terrestrial radiation environments where hardened discrete Zeners are required.
What package type does the 1N5277BUR-1 use and how is polarity marked?
The 1N5277BUR-1 uses the DO-213AA (SOD80) MELF package - a hermetically sealed cylindrical glass body with metallized end caps. Polarity is marked by a single cathode band on the glass surface; during Zener operation, the banded end is held positive relative to the unbanded (anode) end. This marking aligns with JEDEC standard orientation for MELF diodes.
