Product details
Overview
1N5998UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 8.2 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-213AA (SOD-80) MELF package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 7.0 mA test current, 600 Ω dynamic impedance, and ±0.055%/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5998UR/TR datasheet, 1N5998UR/TR pinout, 1N5998UR/TR application, or 1N5998UR/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (300°C/W junction-to-ambient), low leakage (<0.5 µA at 6.5 V), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening compatibility.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and temperature conditions. It features metallurgically bonded internal construction, hermetically sealed glass encapsulation, and cathode polarity indicated by a band - requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the anode for regulation.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it delivers specified electrical performance only when mounted per recommended footprint (A=1.60–1.70 mm, B=3.30–3.70 mm). Its 150°C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance enables reliable operation up to +175°C junction temperature under controlled thermal management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V ±5% at 5.0 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W at 25°C ambient - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 600 Ω at IZT = 5.0 mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness; lower values yield tighter regulation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.5 µA at 6.5 V - ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.055 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift with temperature; positive sign means VZ increases as temperature rises |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65°C to +175°C - supports operation in extended industrial and aerospace environments |
| Package Type | DO-213AA (SOD-80) MELF - cylindrical glass surface-mount package enabling automated placement and high reliability |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD-80) MELF package: hermetically sealed glass cylinder with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode identified by single black band; no discrete pins - terminals are metallized end caps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Bias this terminal positive relative to anode to enable Zener breakdown and voltage clamping |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-biased conduction path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount DO-213AA package | Enables high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly without axial lead trimming or bending |
| Metallurgically bonded construction | Ensures mechanical robustness and long-term parameter stability under thermal cycling and vibration |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Supports military/aerospace qualification paths via prefix-modified part numbers (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, CDS) |
| Low capacitance (typ. <2 pF) | Minimizes signal coupling and noise injection in high-frequency or RF-adjacent regulation circuits |
| Radiation-hardened design | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5232B-TR | 3.3 V nominal, 5% tolerance, DO-35 axial package, 500 mW rating - different voltage and through-hole mounting | Used where board space allows axial leads and lower voltage reference is required | Select only if 3.3 V regulation and through-hole assembly are acceptable |
| BZX55-C8V2-TR | 8.2 V, 5% tolerance, DO-35 package, 500 mW - same voltage but axial-leaded; not surface-mount compatible | Suitable for prototyping or legacy designs using axial components | Choose only when DO-213AA MELF footprint is unavailable or reflow process is not supported |
Compared with 1N5998UR/TR, the 1N5232B-TR offers lower voltage and through-hole mounting, while BZX55-C8V2-TR matches voltage but lacks surface-mount capability - making 1N5998UR/TR the sole choice for space-constrained, high-reliability SMT designs requiring 8.2 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5998UR/TR?
The 1N5998UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.2 V with a ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current of 5.0 mA. This means the actual regulation voltage falls between 7.79 V and 8.61 V under specified conditions, supporting designs requiring moderate precision without active compensation.
Is the 1N5998UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5998UR/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), featuring matte-tin end-cap plating. RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade versions; military-screened variants (e.g., MQ, MX prefixes) use tin-lead plating and are not RoHS compliant.
What package type does the 1N5998UR/TR use?
The 1N5998UR/TR uses the DO-213AA (also known as SOD-80 or MLL34) MELF package - a hermetically sealed glass cylindrical surface-mount device with metallized end caps, optimized for automated placement and high thermal reliability.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5998UR/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5998UR/TR is 0.5 µA at 6.5 V, measured at 30°C lead temperature. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes power loss in battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications.
Can the 1N5998UR/TR be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N5998UR/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from −65°C to +175°C. When mounted per Microsemi's recommended FR4 footprint, it maintains specified performance up to +175°C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood automotive or industrial control applications.
