Product details
Overview
1N5985UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 2.4 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80) MELF package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 100 mA test current and 1800 Ω dynamic impedance, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and bias circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5985UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5985UR-1/TR pinout, 1N5985UR-1/TR application, or 1N5985UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (300 °C/W), reverse leakage (100 µA @ 1.0 V), junction temperature range (–65 to +175 °C), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown at precisely 2.4 V when biased above its knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA) and tested at 100 mA (IZT). Its glass-encapsulated DO-213AA package provides hermetic sealing and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –0.090 %/°C, low typical capacitance (<2 pF per Figure 2), and non-ESD-sensitive behavior per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - enabling stable operation across industrial temperature extremes without external protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V ±5% at 100 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at 25°C ambient - sets maximum continuous power handling on FR4 board with 1 oz Cu |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1800 Ω at 100 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; lower values improve load regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 100 µA max at 1.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including aerospace and downhole electronics |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 300 °C/W - determines temperature rise under load; requires thermal pad design for sustained 500 mW |

DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MLL34) MELF glass package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode indicated by single black band; polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener conduction).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward anode / Zener cathode return | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during regulation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Applied to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased to maintain 2.4 V reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount MELF construction | Enables automated placement and reflow compatibility while maintaining hermetic reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5985B-1 | Axial DO-35 package; identical electrical specs but higher RθJA (~400 °C/W); no tape-and-reel option | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole boards; not compatible with SMT lines | Select when manual assembly or legacy board compatibility is required |
| BZX55C2V4 | Pro Electron equivalent; same 2.4 V/5% spec but higher ZZT (2000 Ω); RoHS-only; no military screening path | Limited to commercial-grade industrial use; lacks radiation hardness documentation | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where radiation tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5985UR-1/TR, the 1N5985B-1 offers identical regulation performance but requires PCB layout change for through-hole mounting, while the BZX55C2V4 trades radiation hardness and hermeticity for lower unit cost in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5985UR-1/TR?
The 1N5985UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual regulation voltage falls between 2.28 V and 2.52 V when tested at 100 mA (IZT) and 30°C lead temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0228-1 Rev. 1, under the "B" suffix column for 1N5985BUR.
Is the 1N5985UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5985UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full nomenclature (1N5985BUR-1 e3). Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating is available for commercial-grade devices only, and this version meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
What package type does the 1N5985UR-1/TR use?
The 1N5985UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA package - also known as SOD-80 or MLL34 - a hermetically sealed glass MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) surface-mount package. Its dimensions are specified on page 5: diameter 1.60–1.70 mm, length 3.30–3.70 mm, with cathode marked by a single black band.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5985UR-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N5985UR-1/TR is 100 µA at VR = 1.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet. This value applies under standard test conditions of 30°C lead temperature and is critical for minimizing error in high-impedance reference circuits.
Does the 1N5985UR-1/TR support military-grade screening?
No - the 1N5985UR-1/TR is the commercial-grade version. Military screening (e.g., JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, JANS) requires prefix identifiers (MQ, MX, MV, CDS) per the Part Nomenclature section on page 2. The "UR" suffix denotes surface-mount packaging, and absence of a prefix confirms commercial-only qualification per MIL-PRF-19500.
