Product details
Overview
1N5926BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 11 V Zener voltage at 34.1 mA test current, with 5.5 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.25 mA knee current, and 8.4 V minimum regulation voltage. It delivers stable voltage reference in high-density power supply rails and precision analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5926BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5926BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5926BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5926BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its hermetic glass construction, MIL-PRF-19500 screening capability, low thermal resistance (40 °C/W junction-to-end cap), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at TEC = 30 °C and measured 90 s after DC current application. Its metallurgically bonded tungsten slug structure ensures low thermal resistance and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling.
The 1N5926BUR-1/TR exhibits 500 µA reverse leakage at 5.0 V and supports up to 136 mA maximum Zener current. Capacitance is characterized per Figure 2 of the datasheet and varies with Zener voltage - for 11 V devices, typical capacitance is ~100 pF at 0 V bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V at IZT = 34.1 mA - defines nominal regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.5 Ω - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Maximum Power Dissipation | 1.5 W at TEC ≤ 115 °C - sets thermal design limit when mounted on end-cap heatsink |
| Junction-to-End Cap Thermal Resistance | 40 °C/W - enables accurate thermal modeling for PCB copper pad heatsinking |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - indicates lowest usable regulation current before significant voltage droop |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 500 µA at VR = 5.0 V - critical for low-power standby circuit integrity |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - relevant for polarity protection or clamp applications |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with metallurgically bonded tungsten slugs; cathode indicated by single black band; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over copper; weight ≈ 0.05 g; tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B (12 mm tape).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal in forward bias; grounded or low-side reference in Zener mode | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node during regulation |
| Cathode | Negative terminal in forward bias; high-side input in Zener mode | Banded end - must be held at higher potential than anode for breakdown operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in harsh environments |
| Metallurgically enhanced internal contacts | Reduces interfacial thermal resistance and improves power cycling endurance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5926B-TR | Same Zener voltage (11 V), but in DO-41 axial-leaded package; higher RθJA (200 °C/W vs 120 °C/W); no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select only when axial mounting is mandatory and thermal derating allows full 1.5 W operation |
| SMBG5926B | Same electrical specs, but in SMB surface-mount package; larger footprint (4.5 × 3.5 mm vs MELF Ø2.6 × L5.2 mm); RθJA = 100 °C/W on FR4 | Better suited for automated assembly with standard pick-and-place; less sensitive to mechanical stress than MELF | Choose when board space permits larger tabbed package and higher thermal mass is beneficial |
Compared with 1N5926B-TR and SMBG5926B, the 1N5926BUR-1/TR offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts due to its metallurgically bonded MELF structure, enabling higher sustained power in constrained spaces - critical for avionics and medical miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5926BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5926BUR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a 5% tolerance (designated by 'B' in the part nomenclature), meaning the actual VZ falls between 10.45 V and 11.55 V at IZT = 34.1 mA and TEC = 30 °C. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC JESD201 and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does 1N5926BUR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N5926BUR-1/TR is eligible for MIL-PRF-19500 screening when ordered with appropriate reliability level suffixes (e.g., MQ, MX, MV). Screening includes extended temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing per the specification - confirmed in the T4-LDS-0300-1 datasheet under Features and Part Nomenclature sections.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for 1N5926BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5926BUR-1/TR supports a maximum Zener current (IZM) of 136 mA at TEC = 30 °C, derived from its 1.5 W power rating and 11 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet and assumes proper end-cap thermal management.
Is 1N5926BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 'e3' suffix in the full designation 1N5926BUR-1/TR-e3 (or implied by TR ordering option) confirms RoHS compliance with matte tin plating over copper. The datasheet explicitly states RoHS-compliant versions are available, and Microsemi's qualification documentation verifies lead-free solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
How does the DO-213AB package of 1N5926BUR-1/TR compare thermally to DO-41?
The DO-213AB (MELF) package of 1N5926BUR-1/TR achieves RθJEC = 40 °C/W, significantly better than DO-41's typical RθJA = 200 °C/W. This is due to direct metallurgical bonding to tungsten slugs and optimized end-cap heat transfer - enabling higher sustained power in compact SMT layouts without forced airflow or large copper pours.
