Product details
Overview
1N5999UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 500 mW Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), 5 mA test current, and 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It regulates voltage across wide operating current and temperature ranges (-65°C to +175°C) in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5999UR/TR datasheet, 1N5999UR/TR pinout, 1N5999UR/TR application, or 1N5999UR/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-213AA MELF package, low 0.04 g weight, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and verified 9.1 V regulation under 5 mA test conditions per MIL-PRF-19500 screening standards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference, maintaining stable output voltage across varying load currents and temperatures. Its breakdown region exhibits 600 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA and 0.1 µA reverse leakage at 7.0 V, with a positive temperature coefficient of +0.061 %/°C.
The 1N5999UR/TR uses hermetically sealed glass construction with metallurgical end-cap bonds for high reliability. It is rated for 0.5 W dissipation at 25°C ambient, derating linearly above 25°C with RθJA = 300 °C/W on FR4 board, and supports soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 9.1 V ±5% at 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation PD | 0.5 W at 25°C ambient - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 600 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.1 µA at 7.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or precision bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables operation in harsh industrial, aerospace, and automotive environments |
| Package Type | DO-213AA (SOD80/MLL34) MELF - provides robust thermal performance and high-reliability hermetic sealing |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (MELF) glass package with two metallized end caps; cathode indicated by single band. No discrete pins-device functions as a two-terminal bilateral component with polarity-dependent conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node in reverse bias | Connected to higher potential during Zener operation; defines voltage reference polarity |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground or return path | Serves as current sink terminal; must be held at lower potential than cathode for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetically sealed glass construction | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments |
| Metallurgically bonded end caps | Ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 150 °C/W) and mechanical robustness under thermal cycling |
| Non-sensitive to ESD | Withstands >8 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 without parameter shift or failure |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Qualified per MicroNote 050 for TID tolerance up to 100 krad(Si), suitable for space-grade applications |
Applications
| Voltage Reference for SMPS Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp in Industrial I/O |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides stable 9.1 V reference in optocoupler-based feedback loop of isolated DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener voltage reference establishing error amplifier threshold and output regulation setpoint. Use Value: Maintains ±5% output accuracy across -40°C to +85°C ambient with <600 Ω dynamic impedance limiting load-induced ripple. | Use Scenario: Clamps transient surges on 24 V PLC analog input channels exposed to field wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt protector diverting excess energy to ground before downstream ADC damage. Use Value: Absorbs 0.5 W pulses without degradation; 0.1 µA leakage avoids signal offset in 12-bit measurement systems. |
| Low-Power Sensor Bias Supply | Aerospace Power Monitor Reference |
Use Scenario: Generates clean 9.1 V bias for MEMS pressure sensor excitation in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt regulator supplying constant voltage to sensor bridge circuitry. Use Value: Delivers stable regulation at 100 µA–5 mA range; +0.061 %/°C tempco minimizes calibration drift over operating temperature. | Use Scenario: Serves as primary voltage reference in radiation-hardened power telemetry module aboard LEO satellites. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-tolerant Zener reference enabling accurate bus voltage monitoring under TID exposure. Use Value: Validated per MicroNote 050 to retain 9.1 V regulation after 100 krad(Si); DO-213AA hermeticity prevents parametric shift in vacuum. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C9V1 | Same 9.1 V ±5%, but DO-35 axial package; 650 Ω ZZT; 200 mW rating | Limited to lower-power, non-SMT designs; unsuitable for automated assembly or high-density layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| MMBZ5240BS | SOT-23 package; 9.1 V ±5%; 0.25 W rating; 100 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Lower power and impedance, but not MIL-PRF-19500 screened; no radiation hardness documentation | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where screening and radiation tolerance are unnecessary |
Compared with BZX55C9V1 and MMBZ5240BS, the 1N5999UR/TR offers superior power handling (0.5 W), verified military-grade screening, and documented radiation hardness-making it the only choice for high-reliability industrial, aerospace, and defense applications requiring DO-213AA form factor.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for the 1N5999UR/TR?
The 1N5999UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with ±5% tolerance (B-suffix) and is specified at a test current IZT of 5 mA. This tolerance and test condition are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0228-1 datasheet, where VZ = 9.1 V, IZT = 5 mA, and ZZT = 600 Ω.
Is the 1N5999UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5999UR/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with matte-tin plating on its DO-213AA end caps. Per the "Part Nomenclature" section on page 2 of the datasheet, the "e3" designation confirms RoHS compliance, and this applies to commercial-grade versions only-consistent with the TR tape-and-reel packaging format.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the 1N5999UR/TR?
The 1N5999UR/TR is rated for 0.5 W power dissipation at 25°C ambient temperature when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper. Derating begins linearly above 25°C at a rate defined by RθJA = 300 °C/W, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 175°C ambient-matching its maximum junction temperature rating per the Maximum Ratings table on page 1.
Does the 1N5999UR/TR have documented radiation hardness?
Yes, the 1N5999UR/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, cited in the Applications/Benefits section on page 1. This documentation confirms total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for space and nuclear instrumentation applications where radiation-induced parameter shift must be avoided.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in the 1N5999UR/TR part number?
The "TR" suffix in 1N5999UR/TR denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard using 12 mm carrier tape. As stated on page 2 of the datasheet, this option is standard for automated SMT placement and requires consultation with the factory for minimum order quantities-distinct from bulk or ammo-pack variants.
