Product details
Overview
1N5280BE3/TR from Microsemi is a 190 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 0.1 μA max reverse current at 152 V and 10 Ω max zener impedance at 0.25 mA test current - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5280BE3/TR datasheet, 1N5280BE3/TR pinout, 1N5280BE3/TR application, or 1N5280BE3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 190 V nominal zener voltage, tight ±5% tolerance (B suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3), tape-and-reel packaging (TR), and radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, with zener breakdown characterized by a sharp knee and stable regulation across 0.25 mA to 20 mA operating current. Its temperature coefficient of +0.110 %/°C (measured from 25 °C to 125 °C at rated IZT) ensures predictable drift behavior in high-temperature environments.
Designed for axial-leaded through-hole mounting, the 1N5280BE3/TR features hermetically sealed glass encapsulation, nonsensitive ESD performance (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020), and minimal junction capacitance - enabling reliable use in low-noise analog references and transient suppression circuits where thermal stability and long-term parametric consistency are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 190 V @ 0.66 mA test current - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference designs |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% (B suffix) - guarantees output voltage within 180.5–199.5 V at 25 °C under specified test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling in ambient-constrained layouts |
| Max Reverse Current | 0.1 μA @ 152 V - ensures negligible leakage in high-impedance bias networks and standby monitoring circuits |
| Zener Impedance | 10 Ω @ IZK = 0.25 mA - supports stable regulation under light-load conditions typical in sensor excitation and reference buffers |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in aerospace, downhole, and military systems without derating penalties |
| Thermal Resistance | 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - informs heatsinking requirements for sustained high-current operation |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5280BRLG | Same 190 V, ±5%, DO-35 package, but lead-free matte-tin plating without e3 designation; no TR tape-and-reel option | Lacks RoHS-compliant e3 marking and tape-and-reel packaging - unsuitable for automated SMT lines requiring EIA-296 compliance | Select when legacy leaded assembly or manual placement is used and RoHS documentation is not required |
| MMBZ5280B-TP | Surface-mount SOT-23 package, same 190 V/±5% spec, but only 225 mW power rating and −65 °C to +150 °C range | Lower power and reduced temperature capability limit use to low-power portable electronics, not industrial or aerospace | Select only for space-constrained PCBs where 500 mW dissipation and >150 °C operation are not needed |
Compared with 1N5280BE3/TR, 1N5280BRLG offers identical electrical specs but lacks RoHS traceability and tape-and-reel logistics, while MMBZ5280B-TP trades 500 mW capability and extended temperature range for miniaturization - making 1N5280BE3/TR the sole choice for high-reliability, high-power, high-temperature Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5280BE3/TR?
The 1N5280BE3/TR has a nominal zener voltage of 190 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix per JEDEC specification. This tolerance is verified at 25 °C with 0.66 mA test current and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C as supported by its +0.110 %/°C temperature coefficient.
Does the 1N5280BE3/TR support automated assembly processes?
Yes, the 1N5280BE3/TR includes the "TR" suffix denoting standard EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging, enabling compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Its matte-tin plating (e3) ensures consistent solderability, and the DO-35 axial-lead form factor is supported by industry-standard feeders and vision alignment systems.
Is the 1N5280BE3/TR suitable for aerospace applications?
Yes, the 1N5280BE3/TR is inherently radiation-hard per MicroNote 050 and supports MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels (e.g., JANTXV) when ordered with appropriate prefixes. Its −65 °C to +175 °C operating range, hermetic glass package, and ESD immunity make it qualified for avionics power monitoring and satellite subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5280BE3/TR?
The 1N5280BE3/TR specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 0.1 μA at 152 V (80% of nominal 190 V), measured after 20 seconds of thermal stabilization. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and precision reference circuits where current draw must remain below 100 nA.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5280BE3/TR affect PCB layout?
The 1N5280BE3/TR has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 250 °C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length. To maintain safe junction temperatures, PCB traces connected to its leads should use ≥1 mm width and ≥4 mm² copper pads, especially in high-ambient environments - otherwise, power derating per Figure 1 becomes necessary.
