Product details
Overview
1N5928BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 13 V, 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 28.8 mA test current, 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.25 mA knee current; used for precision voltage regulation in high-density power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5928BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5928BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5928BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5928BUR-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 matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with reverse-biased breakdown behavior, specified at TEC = 30 °C and measured 90 s after DC current application. Its metallurgically bonded tungsten slug structure ensures low thermal resistance and stable Zener voltage over temperature.
It delivers regulated output across 1.0–115 mA operating current range, with 9.9 V minimum reverse voltage (VR) and 550 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR, supporting stable performance in analog sensing and feedback control where low parasitic capacitance and ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750/1020) are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V ±5% at 28.8 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference accuracy |
| Power Dissipation | 1.5 W @ TEC ≤ 115 °C - enables compact thermal design when mounted on copper slug or heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 7.0 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - allows usable regulation down to ultra-low bias currents in low-power circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 40 °C/W - supports reliable operation up to +175 °C junction temperature with proper end-cap cooling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 550 µA max at 9.9 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or battery-backed systems |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max @ 200 mA - defines forward conduction threshold for polarity protection or clamping use cases |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5928BRLG | Same 13 V, 5% tolerance, but in DO-41 axial package; RθJA = 500 °C/W vs 120 °C/W for MELF | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select when legacy board compatibility or manual prototyping is prioritized over thermal performance |
| SMBG5928B | Same electrical specs in SMB package; 1.0 W rating (vs 1.5 W); ZZT = 8.5 Ω; IR = 1.0 µA at 9.9 V | Limited power handling in continuous regulation; higher leakage affects low-current references | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 1.0 W derating and 1 µA leakage are acceptable |
Compared with 1N5928BRLG and SMBG5928B, the 1N5928BUR-1/TR offers superior thermal management (40 °C/W RθJEC), hermetic reliability, and lower leakage-making it the preferred choice for mission-critical, high-density, or extended-temperature applications where regulation stability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5928BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5928BUR-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its nominal 13 V regulation point falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V at 28.8 mA test current and TEC = 30 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0300-1 datasheet and applies to all units shipped with the "B" suffix in the nomenclature.
Is 1N5928BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" designation in the full part number 1N5928BUR-1/TR indicates RoHS compliance with matte tin plating over copper terminals, verified per JEDEC J-STD-609A. The device meets lead-free soldering requirements up to 260 °C for 10 seconds and is documented in Microsemi's RoHS declaration referenced in the PART NOMENCLATURE section.
Can 1N5928BUR-1/TR be used in high-reliability aerospace applications?
Yes - the 1N5928BUR-1/TR supports MIL-PRF-19500 screening per the datasheet's FEATURES section and is qualified for high-reliability use via source control drawing (SCD) compliance. Its hermetic glass package, metallurgically bonded construction, and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 make it suitable for flight-critical subsystems when ordered with appropriate screening levels.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5928BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5928BUR-1/TR has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 1.5 W when the end cap temperature (TEC) is maintained at ≤115 °C, and 1.25 W at TA = 25 °C on FR4 with 1 oz copper. These values are defined in the MAXIMUM RATINGS table on page 1 and validated by the power derating curve in Figure 1.
Does 1N5928BUR-1/TR have a specified capacitance value?
Yes - the datasheet specifies capacitance in Figure 2 ("Capacitance vs Zener Voltage"), showing ~1.8 pF typical for the 13 V 1N5928BUR-1/TR device. This low parasitic capacitance is inherent to the DO-213AB glass MELF structure and supports high-frequency stability in feedback and RF bias applications.
