Product details
Overview
1N5281BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 200 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80/MELF) glass 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 1N5281BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5281BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5281BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5281BUR-1/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified Zener voltage stability, low dynamic impedance (2500 Ω @ 0.65 mA), minimal capacitance, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening capability for high-reliability designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal Zener voltage of 200 V at 0.65 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.110 %/°C - consistent across the 150–200 V segment of the 1N52xxBUR-1 family. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures hermetic sealing and stable long-term regulation under thermal cycling.
Designed as a surface-mount replacement for axial 1N5281B-1, it maintains identical electrical specifications while enabling automated assembly. The DO-213AA package supports solder reflow per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, with maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250 °C/W on FR4 board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200 V ±5% @ IZT = 0.65 mA - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference rails |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W - limits continuous operation to ≤0.65 mA at 200 V without derating below 50 °C ambient |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 2500 Ω @ IZT - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA @ VR = 152 V - ensures negligible quiescent current in standby mode |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.110 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; requires compensation in precision references |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in aerospace, downhole, and military environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max @ 200 mA - defines forward conduction behavior during transient polarity reversal |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MELF) hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode indicated by single band; weight 0.04 g; dimensions A = 1.60–1.70 mm, B = 3.30–3.70 mm, C = 0.41–0.55 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; carries reverse leakage current in regulation mode |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 200 V output when reverse-biased; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal shock and vibration, ensuring reliability in harsh environments |
| MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening option | Enables qualification to military screening levels (JANTX/JANTXV/JANS) via suffix coding - critical for defense programs |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently radiation-tolerant per MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-grade analog reference design without shielding |
| Low capacitance | Typical <2 pF (per Figure 3) - preserves high-frequency signal integrity in RF bias networks and fast-switching regulators |
| ESD insensitivity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - simplifies handling and eliminates need for ESD-safe workstations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5281B-1 | Axial DO-35 package; identical electrical specs but incompatible with SMT assembly | Used where manual assembly or through-hole prototyping is required; lacks tape-and-reel packaging | Select 1N5281B-1 only when board layout prohibits MELF placement or reflow compatibility is not needed |
| SMZ200A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 200 V ±5%, 1 W rating; higher PD but larger footprint and different thermal profile | Preferred in high-power industrial SMPS where 0.5 W limit is insufficient; not radiation-hardened | Choose SMZ200A when power dissipation exceeds 0.5 W or when DO-213AA mechanical constraints prevent use of MELF devices |
Compared with 1N5281B-1 and SMZ200A, the 1N5281BUR-1/TR uniquely combines MELF SMT compatibility, hermetic glass sealing, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500 up-screening - making it the sole choice for high-reliability, space-constrained, high-temperature Zener regulation.

The 1N5281BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 200 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance applies at 0.65 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, and remains valid across the full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C per specification limits.
Is 1N5281BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5281BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (designated by the "e3" suffix in full nomenclature), but only in commercial-grade versions. RoHS compliance applies to the annealed matte-tin end-cap plating and excludes military-screened variants. The device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for lead-free solderability and restricted substances.
What package type does 1N5281BUR-1/TR use?
The 1N5281BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA package - also known as SOD-80 or MELF - a hermetically sealed glass cylindrical surface-mount package with metallurgically bonded terminals. Its dimensions are A = 1.60–1.70 mm diameter, B = 3.30–3.70 mm length, and C = 0.41–0.55 mm end-cap width.
Can 1N5281BUR-1/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, the 1N5281BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance exceeding 100 krad(Si). It is routinely deployed in satellite power systems and nuclear instrumentation where displacement damage and single-event effects must be mitigated without shielding.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5281BUR-1/TR?
The maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5281BUR-1/TR is 0.5 W, specified at end-cap temperature <125 °C or ambient temperature <50 °C on FR4 board with 1 oz copper. Derating is required above 50 °C ambient per Figure 2, reaching zero dissipation at 150 °C ambient.
