Product details
Overview
1N5987UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 3.0 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) MELF package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 95 mA test current, 2000 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 50 µA maximum reverse leakage at 1.0 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power analog monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5987UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5987UR-1/TR pinout, 1N5987UR-1/TR application, or 1N5987UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (300 °C/W), junction temperature range (–65 to +175 °C), RoHS compliance status, and DO-213AA mechanical compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with metallurgically bonded end caps and hermetically sealed glass construction. Its regulation behavior is defined at IZT = 95 mA, where VZ = 3.0 V ±5%, and dynamic impedance ZZT = 2000 Ω - indicating moderate noise rejection and stable knee characteristics suitable for non-critical biasing.
The DO-213AA package enables high-reliability mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, delivering RθJA = 300 °C/W and RθJL = 150 °C/W. Its cathode band marking and polarity requirement (banded end positive during regulation) define unidirectional reverse-bias operation with minimal capacitance (<10 pF typical).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 3.0 V ±5% at 95 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C3V0 | Same 3.0 V ±5%, but DO-35 axial package; 500 mW rating; higher ZZK (2300 Ω) and wider temp coefficient (+0.070 %/°C) | Requires through-hole assembly; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy board designs or manual prototyping demand axial-leaded form factor |
| MMBZ5223BS | SOT-23 package; 3.0 V ±5%; lower PD (350 mW); tighter ZZT (1700 Ω); RoHS-only; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Limited power handling and no high-reliability screening path; unsuitable for aerospace or military use | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where volume SMT and RoHS compliance are primary requirements |
Compared with BZX55C3V0 and MMBZ5223BS, the 1N5987UR-1/TR offers superior thermal robustness (175 °C TJ), DO-213AA mechanical reliability, and optional MIL-PRF-19500 screening - making it the preferred choice for industrial and mission-critical embedded systems demanding long-term parametric stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5987UR-1/TR?
The 1N5987UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current IZT of 95 mA. This tolerance band ensures predictable regulation within 2.85 V to 3.15 V under specified conditions, and the 95 mA test point reflects its optimal operating region for stable dynamic impedance (2000 Ω) and minimal temperature coefficient drift.
Is the 1N5987UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5987UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5987UR-1/TR e3), indicating matte-tin plating per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The base part number without "e3" denotes non-RoHS tin-lead termination; both versions share identical electrical specifications and DO-213AA packaging.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N5987UR-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N5987UR-1/TR specifies tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard using 12 mm carrier tape. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly and is supplied in reels containing quantities defined by Microsemi's standard ordering increments - distinct from bulk or ammo-pack alternatives.
Can the 1N5987UR-1/TR be used in high-reliability or military applications?
Yes - while the commercial 1N5987UR-1/TR is not screened, Microsemi offers equivalent parts with MQ (JAN), MX (JANTX), MV (JANTXV), or CDS (JANS) prefixes that meet MIL-PRF-19500 requirements. These variants retain the same DO-213AA package and 3.0 V Zener characteristics but undergo additional environmental and electrical screening for aerospace and defense use.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5987UR-1/TR?
The 1N5987UR-1/TR has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 50 µA at 1.0 V applied reverse voltage, measured at 30°C lead temperature. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-powered systems and ensures minimal error contribution when used as a reference in high-impedance divider networks.
