Product details
Overview
1N5932BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 20 V Zener voltage at 18.7 mA test current, with 14 Ω dynamic impedance, 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 15.2 V, and -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulator in high-density power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5932BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5932BUR-1 pinout, 1N5932BUR-1 application, or 1N5932BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5% per B-suffix), thermal resistance (40 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), hermetic glass construction, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening availability.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 20 V regulation across 1.0 mA to 75 mA operating current, with low dynamic impedance ensuring minimal voltage deviation under load transients. Its metallurgically bonded tungsten slugs and voidless glass encapsulation deliver low thermal resistance and high reliability in harsh environments.
The DO-213AB MELF package enables automated placement while minimizing parasitic inductance and capacitance-critical for noise-sensitive analog references and fast-switching power control circuits. Reverse leakage remains ≤1.0 µA up to 15.2 V, supporting low-power standby regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±5% at IZT = 18.7 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference accuracy |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TEC ≤ 115 °C - supports continuous operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 14 Ω - ensures <140 mV output shift per 10 mA load change, critical for precision feedback |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1.0 µA @ VR = 15.2 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - qualified for aerospace, downhole, and industrial control applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 40 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to heatsinking end caps for high-reliability thermal management |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max @ 200 mA - supports use as clamp or protection diode in bidirectional signal paths |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with metallurgically bonded tungsten slugs; cathode indicated by single black band; lead-free matte tin plating over copper; weight ≈ 0.05 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal in forward bias; connected to unmarked end | Provides low-VF conduction path; used for ESD clamping or polarity protection |
| Cathode | Negative terminal in forward bias; marked with black band | Connected to regulated output node in reverse-bias Zener mode; must be held at higher potential than anode for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass encapsulation | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift-essential for mission-critical 15+ year deployments |
| Metallurgically enhanced internal contacts | Reduces interfacial thermal resistance by >30% vs standard wire-bonded Zeners, improving power handling stability |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Enables qualification for defense and space programs requiring lot traceability, burn-in, and parametric retest |
| Low capacitance (≈3.5 pF) | Minimizes high-frequency noise coupling in RF bias networks and ADC reference buffers |
| ESD robustness (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands ≥8 kV HBM without parameter shift-reduces need for external protection in assembly lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5932B | Same electrical specs but axial DO-41 package; lacks MELF's low parasitics and automated placement compatibility | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole legacy designs; not recommended for high-frequency or high-density SMT | Select 1N5932B only when board assembly process prohibits MELF components or requires manual soldering |
| BZX84-C20 | SOT-23 package; 20 V ±5%; lower power (300 mW); higher ZZT (50 Ω); non-hermetic plastic package | Acceptable for consumer-grade portable electronics where cost and size dominate; unsuitable for high-reliability or high-temp environments | Choose BZX84-C20 only for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications with ambient temps <85 °C and no radiation/moisture exposure |
Compared with 1N5932B and BZX84-C20, the 1N5932BUR-1 delivers superior thermal performance (40 °C/W vs >200 °C/W), hermetic reliability, and MELF manufacturability-making it the sole choice for aerospace, industrial, and downhole applications demanding proven long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5932BUR-1?
The 1N5932BUR-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, denoted by the "B" in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This means its 20 V nominal Zener voltage is guaranteed between 19.0 V and 21.0 V at IZT = 18.7 mA and TEC = 30 °C. The tolerance is verified during 100% testing and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is 1N5932BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N5932BUR-1 indicates full RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating over copper terminals and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE. RoHS-compliant versions undergo the same screening and qualification as non-RoHS variants.
Can 1N5932BUR-1 be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N5932BUR-1 is rated for junction temperatures from -65 °C to +175 °C and is routinely deployed in downhole tools and engine-control units. Its hermetic glass package and metallurgically bonded construction prevent parameter shift at sustained 175 °C operation-validated per MIL-PRF-19500 thermal life testing protocols.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5932BUR-1?
The 1N5932BUR-1 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 1.5 W when the end cap temperature (TEC) is maintained at ≤115 °C. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 with 1 oz copper, derated power is 1.25 W due to higher RθJA (120 °C/W). Thermal design must prioritize end-cap heat sinking to achieve full 1.5 W capability.
Does 1N5932BUR-1 require external heat sinking?
No external heat sink is required if PCB layout follows Microsemi's recommended footprint (7.0 mm × 1.8 mm pad) on 1 oz copper FR4. The 40 °C/W RθJEC enables sufficient heat transfer via the end caps to the PCB copper area. However, for continuous 1.5 W operation above 85 °C ambient, localized copper pour or thermal vias beneath the end caps are strongly advised.
