Product details
Overview
1N5533CUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 13.0 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass MELF (DO-213AA) Zener diode optimized for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and reference voltage generation across industrial temperature ranges. It delivers 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA test current, 0.01 µA max reverse leakage at 10.5 V, and operates from –65 °C to +175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5533CUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5533CUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5533CUR-1/TR application, or 1N5533CUR-1/TR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, military-grade qualification status (JANTXV), thermal derating behavior, and RoHS-compliant packaging details critical for high-reliability design-in and long-lifecycle sourcing.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's MIL-PRF-19500/437-qualified 1N55xxBUR-1 family of hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded Zener diodes. Its DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF package enables stable thermal performance with RθJA = 300 °C/W on FR4 and RθJEC = 100 °C/W to end cap.
It operates with cathode band polarity, requires no external biasing circuitry, and exhibits minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF typical at 0 V) and low noise density (≤0.20 µV/√Hz at IZ = 250 µA), making it suitable for low-noise voltage references and signal conditioning stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 13.0 V at 1 mA test current - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks and reference rails. |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% (B suffix) - ensures predictable voltage accuracy without post-selection in production. |
| Power Rating | 0.5 W steady-state - supports continuous operation up to 38.5 mA at 13 V with proper PCB thermal management. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 90 Ω at IZT = 1 mA - determines load regulation error under varying current conditions. |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.01 µA max at VR = 10.5 V - guarantees negligible current draw in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in aerospace, downhole, and engine-control environments. |
| Noise Density | 0.20 µV/√Hz at IZ = 250 µA - critical for precision analog front-ends requiring low-voltage noise floors. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation; must be held ≤10.5 V to avoid leakage. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output | Connected to regulated voltage rail; supplies stable 13.0 V when reverse current ≥ IZL = 15 mA. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5533B-1 | Axial DO-35 package; same electrical specs but higher RθJA (350 °C/W); no tape-and-reel option. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole boards; not for automated SMT assembly. | Select 1N5533B-1 only when manual assembly or legacy board compatibility is required. |
| SMF13A | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 13 V ±5%; 1 W rating; higher IZM (77 mA); non-military qualified. | Better power handling but lacks MIL-PRF-19500/437 qualification and radiation hardness. | Choose SMF13A for commercial cost-sensitive designs where extended temperature range and radiation tolerance are not required. |
Compared with 1N5533CUR-1/TR, 1N5533B-1 offers identical regulation performance in axial form but limits SMT scalability, while SMF13A trades military reliability for higher power and lower cost-making 1N5533CUR-1/TR the sole choice for JANTXV-certified, hermetic, low-noise MELF applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5533CUR-1/TR?
The 1N5533CUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 13.0 V with a guaranteed ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in its nomenclature. This tolerance applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C and is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/437 test requirements for JANTXV-grade devices.
Is the 1N5533CUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5533CUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 marking), with matte-tin end-cap plating. RoHS compliance is available only on commercial-grade versions; JANTXV-qualified units retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, method 2026 solderability requirements.
What does the "TR" suffix signify in 1N5533CUR-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-A standard using 12 mm carrier tape. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly and is specified for volume production use; the base part number 1N5533CUR-1 refers to the same die and package without packaging designation.
How is the cathode identified on the 1N5533CUR-1/TR?
The cathode of the 1N5533CUR-1/TR is marked by a single black band on the glass MELF body. During Zener operation, the banded (cathode) end must be held at a more positive potential than the unbanded (anode) end to achieve reverse-bias breakdown and voltage regulation.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for the 1N5533CUR-1/TR?
The 1N5533CUR-1/TR has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at VR = 10.5 V (80% of VZ). This ultra-low leakage is guaranteed for all units and supports high-impedance biasing and precision reference applications where parasitic current paths must be minimized.
