Product details
Overview
1N5988UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 500 mW Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 3.3 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), 95 mA test current (IZT), and 2200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT. It regulates voltage in low-power reference and protection circuits across industrial and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5988UR/TR datasheet, 1N5988UR/TR pinout, 1N5988UR/TR application, or 1N5988UR/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified package dimensions, thermal resistance (RθJA = 300 °C/W), junction temperature range (–65 to +175 °C), reverse leakage (25 µA @ 1.0 V), and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with regulation specified at 95 mA test current and 3.3 V nominal output. Its DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF glass package enables stable thermal performance and minimal parasitic capacitance (typical <2 pF).
Designed for commercial-grade reliability, it features internal metallurgical bonds, cathode band polarity marking, and compatibility with EIA-481-B 12 mm tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix). It meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels when ordered with appropriate prefixes but the 1N5988UR/TR variant is non-military, RoHS-compliant, and rated for 0.5 W at 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V ±5% at 95 mA - defines precise regulation point for low-voltage reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at 25 °C ambient - sets maximum continuous power handling on FR4 board |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2200 Ω at 95 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC ripple superimposed on DC bias |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 25 µA max at 1.0 V - ensures low standby current in undervoltage detection or clamp circuits |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 to +175 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 300 °C/W - determines temperature rise above ambient per watt dissipated on standard FR4 layout |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V max at 200 mA - relevant for forward-conduction clamping or ESD protection path analysis |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80 / MLL34) MELF glass package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with tin-lead or matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode indicated by single black band; polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener operation); weight: 0.04 g; tape-and-reel compliant per EIA-481-B (12 mm carrier).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to lower-potential node in Zener regulation; carries full reverse current during breakdown |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated output voltage referenced to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount DO-213AA package | Enables automated placement and reflow compatibility while maintaining hermetic glass reliability |
| 1.1 V forward voltage at 200 mA | Supports bidirectional transient suppression when used with series resistor or in back-to-back configuration |
| Non-sensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750, Method 1020) | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level handling and low-energy interface circuits |
| Inherently radiation-hardened | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified or high-altitude avionics applications |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU without exemption; matte-tin plating replaces lead-based solderability layer |
Applications
| Low-Voltage Power Rail Clamp | Microcontroller Reset Reference |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clamping 3.3 V I/O rail against overvoltage transients in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to shunt excess energy to ground. Use Value: Maintains rail within ±5% of 3.3 V using 95 mA IZT and 2200 Ω ZZT, limiting voltage excursion during 100 ns EFT bursts. |

|
Use Scenario: Generating bias voltage for op-amp input stages in wide-temperature-range instrumentation amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift Zener reference with +0.060 %/°C tempco, stabilized via thermal coupling to PCB copper pour. Use Value: Achieves <±10 mV drift over –40 to +85 °C due to predictable αVZ and low RθJA (300 °C/W) on FR4. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp formed with series resistor and second Zener; leverages inherent ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020). Use Value: Withstands >8 kV HBM without parameter shift, confirmed by non-sensitivity testing-no additional TVS required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5226B-T | Same 3.3 V ±5%, but DO-35 axial package; 500 mW rating; 25 µA IR @ 1.0 V; ZZT = 28 Ω @ 20 mA (lower impedance, lower test current) | Requires through-hole assembly; better for prototyping or low-volume repair; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when manual assembly or legacy footprint compatibility is required; not drop-in for DO-213AA land patterns |
| BZX55C3V3 | 3.3 V ±5%, DO-35 package; 500 mW; 25 µA IR @ 1.0 V; ZZT = 95 Ω @ 5 mA; Pro Electron spec; no radiation hardness documentation | Common European alternative; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening path and radiation hardening validation | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial designs where radiation tolerance and military screening are not required |
Compared with 1N5988UR/TR, the 1N5226B-T offers lower dynamic impedance but requires PCB redesign for axial mounting, while BZX55C3V3 provides equivalent voltage specs without radiation assurance or SMT optimization-making 1N5988UR/TR optimal for high-reliability, space-constrained, and radiation-aware applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5988UR/TR?
The 1N5988UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with ±5% tolerance, denoted by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 3.135 V and 3.465 V when tested at 95 mA (IZT) and 30 °C lead temperature, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0228-1 Rev. 1.
Is the 1N5988UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5988UR/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" designation in its full part nomenclature. Per the datasheet, RoHS versions use matte-tin end-cap plating and are available only in commercial-grade variants-this applies directly to the 1N5988UR/TR, which carries no military prefix and ships in EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5988UR/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1N5988UR/TR is 25 µA at 1.0 V applied reverse voltage and 30 °C lead temperature, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is valid for the "B,C,D" tolerance group (±5%, ±2%, ±1%), confirming consistent leakage behavior across tighter-tolerance variants of the same voltage grade.
Does the 1N5988UR/TR have radiation-hardened properties?
Yes, the 1N5988UR/TR is inherently radiation-hardened, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050 and referenced in the Applications/Benefits section of the datasheet. This characteristic stems from its glass-encapsulated DO-213AA construction and internal metallurgical bonding-not dependent on screening level-and applies to the commercial 1N5988UR/TR variant.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the 1N5988UR/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for the 1N5988UR/TR is 300 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR4 printed circuit board with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0228-1 Rev. 1. This value assumes natural convection cooling and defines allowable power derating above 25 °C ambient.
