Product details
Overview
1N5935BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 27 V ±5% Zener voltage at 13.9 mA test current, with 23 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.25 mA knee current, and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 20.6 V. It delivers stable voltage regulation in high-density power supply and reference circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5935BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5935BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5935BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5935BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener tolerance (±5%), hermetic glass construction, MIL-PRF-19500 screening availability, low thermal resistance (40 °C/W junction-to-end cap), and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current above its specified Zener breakdown threshold. Its metallurgically bonded internal structure ensures low thermal resistance and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and high-reliability stress conditions.
The DO-213AB MELF package provides hermetic sealing, ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and inherently radiation-hard characteristics documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Capacitance is specified per Figure 2 and varies with Zener voltage - for 1N5935BUR-1/TR, typical capacitance is ~35 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at IZT = 13.9 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.5 W @ TEC ≤ 115 °C - supports continuous operation in compact layouts with adequate end-cap heatsinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 13.9 mA - determines regulation stiffness; lower value improves load/line transient response. |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter useful regulation region near breakdown threshold. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 µA at VR = 20.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby or low-current bias networks. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial, aerospace, and downhole applications. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed, voidless hard glass body with tungsten slugs; cathode indicated by single band; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over copper; weight ≈ 0.05 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; used for forward-bias protection or sensing. |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal / voltage reference output | Banded end; connected to higher-potential side; sinks current to maintain stable 27 V across load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgically bonded internal contacts | Reduces thermal resistance to 40 °C/W (junction-to-end cap), improving power handling and long-term stability under thermal stress. |
| Hermetically sealed glass construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and intermetallic degradation, enabling use in high-humidity or corrosive environments without conformal coating. |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Supports high-reliability qualification for defense, space, and critical infrastructure where lot traceability and burn-in are mandated. |
| ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >8 kV HBM without parameter shift - simplifies handling and eliminates need for external ESD protection in assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5935B | Axial-leaded DO-41 package; same 27 V ±5%, 1.5 W rating, but higher RθJA (150 °C/W vs 120 °C/W). | Lacks surface-mount compatibility and hermetic seal; unsuitable for high-density or humid-environment PCBs. | Select when through-hole assembly, lower cost, or legacy board compatibility is prioritized over density and reliability. |
| SMBG5935B | Surface-mount SMB package; same electrical specs but larger footprint (4.5 × 3.9 mm vs MELF Ø2.6 × L5.2 mm); RθJA = 100 °C/W on FR4. | Higher parasitic inductance than MELF; less optimal for high-frequency noise-sensitive references. | Choose when automated pick-and-place compatibility with standard tabbed SMT feeders outweighs RF performance and thermal efficiency. |
Compared with 1N5935B and SMBG5935B, the 1N5935BUR-1/TR offers superior thermal performance (RθJEC = 40 °C/W), hermetic reliability, and minimal parasitics - making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability, and high-frequency-stable regulation where MELF placement is feasible.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5935BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5935BUR-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, specified as 27 V at 13.9 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0300-1 datasheet and applies under end-cap temperature control at 30 °C.
Is 1N5935BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in the full part number 1N5935BUR-1/TR indicates RoHS compliance per Microsemi's nomenclature guide. The device uses matte tin plating over copper terminals and meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 requirements, verified in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5935BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5935BUR-1/TR has a rated steady-state power dissipation of 1.5 W when end-cap temperature (TEC) is maintained at ≤115 °C. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 board, the derated value is 1.25 W - both values are explicitly listed in the Maximum Ratings table on Page 1 of the datasheet.
Does 1N5935BUR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, MIL-PRF-19500 screening is available for 1N5935BUR-1/TR per the Features section on Page 1. Screening requires specific ordering codes defined in the Part Nomenclature table and must be requested at time of order - it is not included in standard commercial-grade shipments.
What is the cathode marking convention for 1N5935BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5935BUR-1/TR uses a single cathode band on the glass body to indicate polarity, consistent with JEDEC DO-213AB standards. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener operation - this is explicitly stated in the Mechanical and Packaging section on Page 2.
