Product details
Overview
1N5985UR/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 overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5985UR/TR datasheet, 1N5985UR/TR pinout, 1N5985UR/TR application, or 1N5985UR/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant packaging details, and direct alternatives for commercial-grade Zener regulation where stable 2.4 V reference and low leakage (<100 µA at 1.0 V) are required.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown at nominal 2.4 V when biased above its knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), with specified Zener impedance (ZZT = 1800 Ω at IZT = 100 mA) and temperature coefficient of –0.090 %/°C. It uses hermetically sealed glass construction with metallurgical end-cap bonding for reliability.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it exhibits thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 300 °C/W and junction-to-end-cap of 150 °C/W, enabling operation from –65 °C to +175 °C. Its cathode band marking and tin-lead or matte-tin plating comply with MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V ±5% at 100 mA - defines stable regulation point under nominal bias; tolerance affects reference accuracy in feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at 25°C ambient - sets maximum continuous power before thermal derating; requires layout-aware heatsinking above 100°C end-cap temp. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1800 Ω at 100 mA - indicates output impedance in regulation region; impacts load regulation error and ripple rejection. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤100 µA at 1.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby; critical for battery-powered voltage monitor circuits. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | –0.090 %/°C - quantifies drift per degree; enables compensation design for wide-temperature industrial sensors. |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including automotive under-hood and aerospace avionics. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V at 200 mA - defines forward conduction drop; relevant for polarity protection or dual-function clamp applications. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80 / MELF) glass package: cylindrical hermetic body with metallized end caps; cathode identified by single black band; no polarity-specific PCB footprint asymmetry - bidirectional mounting allowed but cathode must connect to higher potential during regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connects to system ground or lower-potential rail; serves as return path for Zener current during regulation. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 2.4 V relative to anode; must be biased positive w.r.t. anode to enter breakdown and regulate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount DO-213AA (MELF) package | Enables high-reliability automated placement with hermetic glass seal and metallurgical end-cap bonds - eliminates wire-bond failure modes. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Supports lead-free reflow (260°C/10 s) without degradation; meets commercial-grade environmental compliance without derating. |
| Low capacitance (typ. <2 pF) | Minimizes high-frequency coupling in RF bias networks and fast-switching protection circuits - preserves signal integrity. |
| Radiation-hardened structure | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified power supervisors and satellite subsystems. |
| ESD-insensitive (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >4 kV HBM without parameter shift - simplifies handling and eliminates need for ESD-protected workstations in production. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Reference | Low-Power Voltage Monitor |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamping element in RC-based reset generator, triggering POR when supply drops below 2.4 V. Use Value: 100 µA max leakage at 1.0 V ensures minimal loading on weak bias sources - preserves timing accuracy of RC delay. |
| Overvoltage Clamp | Current-Source Bias |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting op-amp inputs against transient surges up to ±15 V in data acquisition front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional shunt limiter (with series resistor) clamping input voltage to ±2.4 V above/below reference. Use Value: 1800 Ω dynamic impedance limits peak clamp current to <8 mA during 100 ns transients - prevents op-amp damage. |
Use Scenario: Generating constant 100 µA bias current for JFET amplifier stages in audio preamplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current source formed by 2.4 V Zener in series with 24 kΩ resistor across 5 V supply.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C2V4 | Same 2.4 V ±5%, but DO-35 axial package; 500 mW rating; ZZT = 120 Ω at 5 mA - lower impedance but lower test current. | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts; better for prototyping or legacy repair. | Select BZX55C2V4 only when board real estate allows axial leads and manual soldering is acceptable. |
| MMBZ5221BS | SOT-23 package; 2.4 V ±5%; 225 mW rating; ZZT = 30 Ω at 20 mA - significantly lower impedance but lower power handling. | Higher current density in smaller footprint; limited to ≤150 mW continuous dissipation; not radiation-hardened. | Choose MMBZ5221BS for space-constrained consumer electronics where radiation hardness and 500 mW headroom are unnecessary. |
Compared with BZX55C2V4 and MMBZ5221BS, the 1N5985UR/TR uniquely combines 500 mW SMT capability, DO-213AA hermetic reliability, –65 °C to +175 °C operation, and inherent radiation hardness - making it the only option for high-stability, high-reliability industrial and aerospace voltage references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5985UR/TR?
The 1N5985UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V with ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its nomenclature per Microsemi's part numbering system. This means the actual VZ falls between 2.28 V and 2.52 V when measured at 100 mA test current and 30°C lead temperature, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0228-1.
Is 1N5985UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5985UR/TR is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in its full part number (1N5985BUR-1 includes e3 per nomenclature table). The device uses matte-tin plating on end caps and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements - applicable only to commercial-grade versions, not military-screened variants.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N5985UR/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1N5985UR/TR is 100 µA at 1.0 V reverse voltage and 30°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value applies to devices with B/C/D tolerance suffixes and confirms suitability for low-quiescent-current applications such as battery-backed voltage monitors.
Can 1N5985UR/TR be used in place of axial 1N5985B-1?
No - while electrically identical in voltage and tolerance, the 1N5985UR/TR uses a DO-213AA (MELF) surface-mount package, whereas the 1N5985B-1 uses DO-35 axial leads. They are not mechanically interchangeable; PCB layout, assembly process, and thermal paths differ significantly. The "UR" suffix explicitly denotes the surface-mount variant.
What is the thermal resistance of 1N5985UR/TR when mounted on FR4?
When mounted on FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and Microsemi's recommended footprint, the 1N5985UR/TR has a thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 300 °C/W and junction-to-end-cap (RθJL) of 150 °C/W. These values are defined in the Maximum Ratings table and govern derating above 25°C ambient per Figure 1.
