Product details
Overview
1N5997UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 500 mW Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 7.5 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), 7.0 mA test current, and 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5997UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5997UR-1/TR pinout, 1N5997UR-1/TR application, or 1N5997UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-213AA MELF package, 7.5 V regulation at low test current, 0.5 W power rating, and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 7.5 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 5.0 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 600 Ω measured at 10% AC modulation superimposed on IZT.
It features hermetically sealed glass DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF construction, cathode band polarity marking, and metallurgical bonding for reliability. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 300 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz Cu per manufacturer's recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 7.5 V - Stable regulation point at 5.0 mA test current, suitable for precision reference applications |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% (B-suffix) - Ensures voltage variation within 7.125–7.875 V at IZT |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W at 25 °C - Limits maximum continuous power in linear regulator or clamp roles |
| Dynamic Impedance | 600 Ω @ IZT - Indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC ripple; lower values improve regulation |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.5 µA @ 5.0 V - Confirms minimal off-state current below breakdown, critical for low-power bias networks |
| Max Regulator Current | 6.0 mA - Derived from PD/VZM; defines absolute upper DC current limit for safe operation |
| Temp Coefficient | +0.051 %/°C - Predictable positive drift enables compensation in temperature-sensitive references |

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 7.5 V reference for feedback loop in isolated DC-DC converter secondary-side regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as shunt voltage reference, sinking excess current to maintain regulated output. Use Value: Delivers 7.5 V ±5% accuracy with +0.051 %/°C tempco, enabling tight output tolerance over –65 to +175 °C. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from transient surges exceeding 7.5 V in industrial sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as passive crowbar element, conducting when input exceeds VZ to divert surge energy. Use Value: Low 600 Ω dynamic impedance ensures rapid clamping response; 0.5 W rating handles short-duration transients. |
| Low-Power Bias Network | Temperature-Compensated Reference |
Use Scenario: Generating precise bias voltage for op-amp input stages in battery-powered instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies fixed reference voltage while drawing only 5 mA quiescent current. Use Value: 0.5 µA leakage at 5 V minimizes loading error; DO-213AA package supports compact PCB layout. | Use Scenario: Serving as primary reference in analog front-end where ambient temperature varies widely. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides base voltage reference whose drift is compensated using complementary tempcos. Use Value: Positive +0.051 %/°C coefficient allows pairing with negative-coefficient devices for net zero drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C7V5 | Same 7.5 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but DO-35 axial package; 500 mW rating; 600 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Requires through-hole assembly; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy board design mandates axial leads or manual prototyping is preferred |
| MMBZ5227BS | SOT-23 package; 7.5 V, ±5%; 225 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 20 mA - significantly lower impedance but lower power | Higher current capability needed for low-Z regulation; unsuitable for >225 mW dissipation | Select when low dynamic impedance is prioritized over power handling in space-constrained designs |
Compared with BZX55C7V5 and MMBZ5227BS, the 1N5997UR-1/TR offers superior power handling (0.5 W vs. 0.225 W) in an SMT MELF form factor, balancing regulation accuracy, thermal robustness, and automated manufacturability for industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5997UR-1/TR?
The 1N5997UR-1/TR has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, denoted by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls between 7.125 V and 7.875 V when measured at the specified 5.0 mA test current and 30 °C lead temperature, per Microsemi T4-LDS-0228-1 Rev. 1.
Is the 1N5997UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5997UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full nomenclature (1N5997BUR-1/TR e3). RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade versions; military-screened variants are not RoHS compliant per Microsemi documentation.
What package type does the 1N5997UR-1/TR use?
The 1N5997UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AA glass MELF package (also designated SOD80 or MLL34), featuring hermetically sealed cylindrical construction, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating, and cathode identification via a single black band.
What is the maximum DC Zener current for the 1N5997UR-1/TR?
The maximum DC Zener current (IZM) for the 1N5997UR-1/TR is 6.0 mA, calculated per Microsemi's formula IZM = PD/VZM, where PD = 0.5 W and VZM = 7.875 V (upper limit of ±5% tolerance). This value appears in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0228-1.
Does the 1N5997UR-1/TR require special ESD handling?
No, the 1N5997UR-1/TR is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, as confirmed in the Applications/Benefits section of the Microsemi datasheet. No special ESD handling or packaging is required during assembly or handling.
