Product details
Overview
1N5526BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 0.5 W, 6.8 V ±5% glass MELF Zener diode in DO-213AA package, rated for -65°C to +175°C operation, with 1.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 1.0 mA test current and 5.5 mA maximum DC zener current-used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military-grade power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5526BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5526BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5526BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5526BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JAN/JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/437, hermetically sealed MELF construction, low noise density (0.10 µV/√Hz), and metallurgical bond for enhanced thermal reliability in high-reliability aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 6.8 V regulation across a wide temperature range (-65°C to +175°C) and current range (0.01 mA to 5.5 mA). Its DO-213AA glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing and low capacitance (typ. <1.5 pF at 0 V), supporting low-noise analog references.
It features a metallurgical bond between silicon die and end caps, enabling compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/437 at JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV levels. Reverse leakage is guaranteed ≤0.5 µA at 5.5 V, and forward voltage is ≤1.1 V at 200 mA-critical for bidirectional protection and clamping validation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.8 V ±5% at 1.0 mA-enables stable reference in feedback networks requiring tight tolerance under thermal stress. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W steady-state-supports compact layout in space-constrained military PCBs without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1.0 Ω at IZT = 1.0 mA-minimizes output voltage variation during load transients in regulated supplies. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 5.5 V-ensures negligible error current in high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Noise Density (ND) | 0.10 µV/√Hz at IZ = 250 µA-meets low-noise requirements for precision instrumentation and ADC reference buffers. |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C-validates operation in extended-environment avionics, downhole tools, and engine control units. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (MELF) glass surface-mount package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated end caps; cathode indicated by single band; polarity requires banded end to be positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode return path | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node when used as shunt regulator. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation node | Connected to voltage source input; maintains 6.8 V relative to anode under reverse bias. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates wire-bond fatigue and interfacial delamination under thermal cycling-critical for 20+ year field life in satellite power systems. |
| JAN/JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/437 | Validated screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity-required for DoD procurement and flight-critical subsystems. |
| Low noise density (0.10 µV/√Hz) | Reduces RMS noise contribution in 16-bit+ data acquisition front-ends where reference stability dominates SNR budget. |
| Hermetic glass MELF package | Prevents moisture ingress and ion migration-ensures long-term VZ drift < ±0.5% over 10,000 hours at 125°C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5526B-1 | Same electrical specs but DO-35 axial-leaded package; no metallurgical bond; commercial grade only. | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500/437 qualification; unsuitable for vibration-prone or hermetic assemblies. | Select only for non-military prototyping where manual assembly and board-level conformal coating are acceptable. |
| SMF6.8A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 6.8 V ±5%; 1.0 W rating; higher IZM (150 mA); no military qualification. | Higher power handling but larger capacitance (40 pF) and unqualified for aerospace use. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ESD robustness and 1.0 W surge capability outweigh low-noise needs. |
Compared with 1N5526B-1 and SMF6.8A, the 1N5526BUR-1/TR uniquely combines MIL-qualified reliability, MELF hermeticity, sub-pF capacitance, and 0.10 µV/√Hz noise-making it irreplaceable in flight-critical voltage references where parametric drift and radiation-induced leakage must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5526BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5526BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with ±5% tolerance (B suffix), measured at a test current IZT of 1.0 mA. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +175°C, and the device meets MIL-PRF-19500/437 requirements for parameter stability under environmental stress.
Is the 1N5526BUR-1/TR qualified for military applications?
Yes, the 1N5526BUR-1/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/437 at JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV reliability levels. It undergoes full military screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing-making it suitable for flight hardware, tactical radios, and other DoD-critical systems requiring certified reliability.
What package type does the 1N5526BUR-1/TR use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 1N5526BUR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA (MELF) glass surface-mount package with hermetically sealed construction. Key features include metallurgically bonded end caps, cathode band marking, 0.04 g weight, and compatibility with standard 12 mm tape-and-reel handling (TR suffix). Its axial coefficient of expansion (+6 ppm/°C) is matched to FR4 PCBs using recommended pad layout.
Does the 1N5526BUR-1/TR have RoHS compliance options?
RoHS-compliant versions of the 1N5526BUR-1/TR are available for commercial-grade units only (marked with e3 suffix), featuring matte-tin plating on end caps. Military-grade variants (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV) retain tin-lead plating to ensure solderability and reliability per MIL-STD-709, and are not RoHS-compliant.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5526BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5526BUR-1/TR guarantees a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA at VR = 5.5 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference nodes in precision analog circuits, such as those found in 24-bit data acquisition systems where input bias current must remain below 1 nA.
