Product details
Overview
1N6008UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) MELF package, rated for 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 5.0 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), 600 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.1 µA at 17 V. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6008UR/TR datasheet, 1N6008UR/TR pinout, 1N6008UR/TR application, or 1N6008UR/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability, and direct alternatives for voltage reference design in space-constrained SMT layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and temperature. Its Zener regulation occurs at 22 V with 5.0 mA test current, exhibiting 600 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and +0.087 %/°C temperature coefficient - indicating positive drift with rising junction temperature.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it features hermetically sealed glass construction, metallurgical bonding, and cathode band polarity marking. Thermal resistance is 150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient under specified footprint conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6008UR-1 | No tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo-pack only; identical electrical specs and DO-213AA package | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly where reel feeding is unnecessary | Select 1N6008UR/TR for automated SMT production; choose 1N6008UR-1 for bench evaluation or small-batch builds |
| BZX55-C22 | DO-35 axial package; same 22 V ±5%, but higher ZZT (700 Ω) and lower max IZM (48 mA vs. 55 mA) | Preferred for through-hole legacy designs or manual repair; not SMT-compatible | Choose BZX55-C22 only when board layout prohibits MELF components or requires axial form factor |
Compared with 1N6008UR/TR, the 1N6008UR-1 offers identical performance in non-reel formats, while BZX55-C22 provides functional equivalence in axial-leaded packaging but with reduced current capability and higher impedance - making the TR variant optimal for high-reliability, high-density SMT voltage references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N6008UR/TR?
The 1N6008UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 20.9 V and 23.1 V when tested at 5.0 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0228-1 datasheet and applies under standard 30 °C lead temperature conditions.
Is the 1N6008UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N6008UR/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), with matte-tin end-cap plating meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. RoHS compliance is explicitly stated in the "Part Nomenclature" section of the datasheet and applies only to commercial-grade versions - military-screened variants are not RoHS compliant.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for the 1N6008UR/TR?
The maximum dc Zener current (IZM) for the 1N6008UR/TR is 55 mA, calculated per the formula IZM = P / VZM where P = 0.5 W and VZM = 23.1 V (upper limit of ±5% tolerance). This value is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 and assumes operation at 25 °C ambient with proper PCB thermal management.
Does the 1N6008UR/TR have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, the 1N6008UR/TR uses a single dark cathode band on the glass body to identify the cathode terminal. As stated in the "Mechanical and Packaging" section, the diode is operated with the banded end positive relative to the opposite end during Zener regulation - confirming cathode-anode polarity for reverse-bias operation.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N6008UR/TR when mounted on FR4?
When mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint, the 1N6008UR/TR exhibits a thermal resistance of 150 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient. These values are specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table on page 1 and govern derating curves shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
