Product details
Overview
1N5923BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, with nominal Zener voltage 8.2 V at 45.7 mA test current, dynamic impedance 3.5 Ω, and maximum Zener current 182 mA. It delivers stable voltage regulation in high-density power supply rails and precision reference circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5923BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5923BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5923BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5923BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (5%), thermal resistance (40 °C/W junction-to-end cap), hermetic glass construction, MIL-PRF-19500 screening availability, and RoHS-compliant plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with specified knee current (IZK = 0.5 mA) and knee impedance (ZZK = 400 Ω) confirming stable conduction onset. Its metallurgically bonded tungsten slug structure ensures low thermal resistance and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling.
The DO-213AB MELF package provides hermetic sealing, ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and capacitance of ~15 pF (inferred from Figure 2 at 8.2 V), making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog references and low-parasitic feedback paths.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5923B-TR | Same Zener voltage (8.2 V), identical DO-213AB package, but non-RoHS tin/lead plating; no "e3" suffix | Approved for legacy military programs requiring Pb-based solder compatibility; not compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU | Select when Pb-containing assembly processes are mandated and environmental compliance is secondary |
| SMBG5923B | Same electrical specs, but SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package with tabbed leads; RθJA = 100 °C/W vs 120 °C/W for 1N5923BUR-1/TR | Better suited for high-volume automated placement; less sensitive to board warpage than MELF; higher parasitic inductance limits RF performance | Select when board space permits larger footprint and thermal management prioritizes ease of rework over ultimate power density |
Compared with 1N5923B-TR and SMBG5923B, the 1N5923BUR-1/TR uniquely combines RoHS compliance, hermetic MELF packaging, and lowest thermal resistance to end cap-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability, thermally demanding applications where long-term parameter stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N5923BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5923BUR-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, denoted by the "B" in its part number nomenclature. This means its measured VZ falls within 7.79 V to 8.61 V at IZT = 45.7 mA and TEC = 30 °C. The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and remains stable over time due to the hermetic glass package and metallurgical bonding in the 1N5923BUR-1/TR.
Does the 1N5923BUR-1/TR require derating above 25 °C ambient?
Yes-the 1N5923BUR-1/TR must be derated above 25 °C ambient per its power derating curve (Figure 1). At TA = 70 °C on FR4 board, maximum allowable power drops to ~0.9 W. However, when mounted with end-cap thermal path (e.g., to copper pour), derating follows the 40 °C/W RθJEC slope, allowing 1.5 W operation up to TEC = 115 °C. This dual-derating behavior is explicitly defined for the 1N5923BUR-1/TR in the Microsemi datasheet.
Is the 1N5923BUR-1/TR suitable for use in space-grade applications?
Yes-the 1N5923BUR-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and supports MIL-PRF-19500 screening for high-reliability programs. Its hermetic DO-213AB package, tungsten slug construction, and metallurgically bonded contacts make it qualified for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite power conditioning and sensor biasing where total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si) is expected. These attributes are documented for the 1N5923BUR-1/TR family.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N5923BUR-1/TR?
"TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard using 12 mm carrier tape, enabling automated SMT placement. The "UR" portion indicates metallurgically bonded MELF construction, while "-1" specifies commercial reliability level. All variants-including the 1N5923BUR-1/TR-are supplied with cathode band marking and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, as confirmed in the Microsemi T4-LDS-0300-1 datasheet for the 1N5923BUR-1/TR.
How does the 1N5923BUR-1/TR compare to axial-leaded 1N5923B in terms of layout impact?
The 1N5923BUR-1/TR uses DO-213AB MELF packaging versus DO-41 for the axial 1N5923B, eliminating through-hole drilling and enabling higher board density. Its symmetrical cylindrical form factor requires specific pad layout (A = 7.00 mm, B = 1.8 mm per datasheet), but eliminates orientation concerns and reduces parasitic inductance by ~30% compared to axial leads. This geometry directly impacts high-frequency stability in the 1N5923BUR-1/TR's regulation performance.
