Product details
Overview
1N5948BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 91 V ±5% Zener voltage at 4.1 mA test current, with 200 Ω dynamic impedance and 16 mA maximum Zener current. It delivers stable voltage regulation in high-density power supply feedback loops and precision reference circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5948BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5948BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5948BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5948BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetically sealed MELF construction, MIL-PRF-19500 screening capability, low thermal resistance (40 °C/W junction-to-end cap), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and specified capacitance performance per Figure 2.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage defined at IZT = 4.1 mA and measured at TEC = 30 °C. Its metallurgically bonded tungsten slug structure ensures low thermal resistance and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling.
The 1N5948BUR-1/TR exhibits 0.25 µA reverse leakage at VR = 73 V and maintains regulation over 16 mA maximum DC Zener current. Its 1.5 W steady-state power rating applies at end-cap temperature ≤115 °C, derating linearly to zero at 175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω - limits output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 16 mA - sets upper limit for continuous regulation without exceeding 1.5 W dissipation |
| Junction-to-End Cap Rθ | 40 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB pad or heatsink via end cap contact |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA at VR = 73 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - supports use as clamp or protection diode in forward bias |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports extended-range industrial and aerospace applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5948BRLG | Same 91 V/5% spec, but in DO-41 axial package with leaded termination | Requires through-hole mounting; higher parasitic inductance limits >1 MHz switching noise suppression | Select when legacy board layout or manual assembly mandates axial leads |
| SMBG5948B | Same 91 V/5% spec, but in SMB package with tabbed SMT footprint and 1.0 W rating | Lower power handling (1.0 W vs 1.5 W); higher thermal resistance (120 °C/W vs 40 °C/W) | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller footprint and 1 W suffices |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N5948BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5948BUR-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA, measured at end-cap temperature TEC = 30 °C. Voltage is recorded 90 seconds after applying DC current, per Microsemi T4-LDS-0300-1 specification. This tolerance ensures predictable regulation in feedback networks where tight voltage setpoints are required.
Does 1N5948BUR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N5948BUR-1/TR is available with screening per MIL-PRF-19500 when ordered with appropriate reliability level suffixes (e.g., MQ, MX). Screening includes lot traceability, burn-in, and electrical testing per military standards - confirmed in the "Features" section of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0300-1 datasheet.
What is the maximum power dissipation for 1N5948BUR-1/TR at 25 °C ambient?
The 1N5948BUR-1/TR has a steady-state power dissipation of 1.25 W at TA = 25 °C when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. Its full 1.5 W rating applies only when end-cap temperature is maintained ≤115 °C - verified in the "Maximum Ratings" table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0300-1.
How does the DO-213AB package of 1N5948BUR-1/TR improve thermal performance?
The DO-213AB (MELF) package of the 1N5948BUR-1/TR achieves 40 °C/W junction-to-end cap thermal resistance via metallurgically bonded tungsten slugs, enabling direct heat conduction to PCB pads. This is 3× better than typical SMB packages (120 °C/W), allowing sustained 1.5 W operation without external heatsinking in compact layouts.
Is 1N5948BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5948BUR-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full nomenclature (1N5948BUR-1/TR e3). It features matte tin plating over copper terminations and meets exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature solder alloys, as documented in Microsemi's part nomenclature guide on page 2 of T4-LDS-0300-1.
