Product details
Overview
1N5997UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 7.5 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) MELF package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 7.0 mA test current, 600 Ω dynamic impedance, and ±0.051%/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5997UR/TR datasheet, 1N5997UR/TR pinout, 1N5997UR/TR application, or 1N5997UR/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package dimensions, thermal derating behavior, RoHS compliance status, and direct alternatives for commercial-grade Zener regulation where stable 7.5 V reference and low leakage (<0.5 µA @ 6.0 V) are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 7.5 V reference across a wide current range (0.25 mA to 6.0 mA), with low dynamic impedance (600 Ω @ 7.0 mA) ensuring minimal output variation under load transients. Its DO-213AA glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing and high reliability, supporting operation from –65°C to +175°C junction temperature.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.051%/°C, indicating increasing Zener voltage with rising temperature - critical for thermal drift compensation in precision references. It is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and inherently radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050.

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, 5% tolerance, but DO-35 axial package; higher ZZT (700 Ω) and lower PD (500 mW same, but less efficient thermal dissipation) | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT assemblies | Select when legacy axial footprint compatibility or manual prototyping is prioritized over board space efficiency |
| MMBZ5227BS | SOT-23 package; same 7.5 V, 5% tolerance; lower PD (225 mW); ZZT = 30 Ω @ 20 mA - optimized for low-impedance regulation at higher currents | Not suitable for low-current (<1 mA) reference use due to knee-region instability | Select when compact size and low dynamic impedance at >10 mA are required, and power budget permits derating |
Compared with BZX55C7V5 and MMBZ5227BS, the 1N5997UR/TR offers superior thermal performance in SMT layouts (RθJA = 300°C/W on FR4), tighter low-current regulation stability, and radiation-hardened qualification - making it preferred for industrial and medical SMT designs demanding long-term parametric consistency.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5997UR/TR?
The 1N5997UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a 5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 7.125 V and 7.875 V when tested at 7.0 mA. This tolerance is indicated by the "B" suffix in the part nomenclature and is verified per JEDEC standards under specified thermal conditions.
Is the 1N5997UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5997UR/TR is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in its full part number. The device uses matte-tin plating on its end caps and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements - applicable only to commercial-grade versions, not military-screened variants.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5997UR/TR?
The 1N5997UR/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA at 6.0 V, measured at 30°C lead temperature. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision reference applications where current draw must be tightly controlled.
Can the 1N5997UR/TR be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N5997UR/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –65°C to +175°C. Its DO-213AA glass package and internal metallurgical bonds ensure structural integrity and parametric stability across this full range, provided power dissipation is derated per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N5997UR/TR?
The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard using 12 mm carrier tape. This format supports automated SMT placement and is the standard shipping configuration for volume orders of the 1N5997UR/TR at Aetrix Electronics.
