Product details
Overview
1N6015UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 500 mW Zener diode in DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) MELF package, rated for 43 V nominal Zener voltage at 2.0 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 900 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 33 V. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6015UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N6015UR-1/TR pinout, 1N6015UR-1/TR application, or 1N6015UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 300 °C/W), low capacitance (<12 pF typical), radiation-hardened construction, and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade availability with TR tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference by maintaining a stable 43 V across its terminals under reverse-biased breakdown conditions, with regulation specified at IZT = 2.0 mA and lead temperature of 30 °C. Its metallurgically bonded glass package ensures hermetic sealing and high reliability per MIL-PRF-19500 screening options.
The 1N6015UR-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and supports stable operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its low 0.04 g mass and minimal parasitic capacitance make it suitable for precision analog references where thermal drift and signal integrity are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6015UR-1 | No TR suffix - bulk or ammo pack; identical electrical specs and DO-213AA package | Not optimized for automated SMT assembly; requires manual or vibratory bowl feeding | Select 1N6015UR-1/TR when using pick-and-place equipment; choose 1N6015UR-1 for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| BZX84-C43 | SOT-23 package (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm); 43 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; higher RθJA (~450 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling on small PCBs; smaller footprint saves space but reduces heat dissipation | Choose BZX84-C43 only if board space is constrained and power dissipation remains below 250 mW; 1N6015UR-1/TR preferred for full 0.5 W operation |
Compared with 1N6015UR-1 and BZX84-C43, the 1N6015UR-1/TR delivers superior thermal performance (300 °C/W vs. 450 °C/W), higher power margin (0.5 W vs. 0.3 W), and radiation-hardened reliability-making it optimal for industrial and aerospace voltage reference designs where stability and longevity are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N6015UR-1/TR?
The 1N6015UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with ±5% tolerance, denoted by the "B" suffix in its part nomenclature. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 40.85 V and 45.15 V when tested at IZT = 2.0 mA and 30 °C lead temperature, per Microsemi T4-LDS-0228-1 Rev. 1 specifications.
Does the 1N6015UR-1/TR require heatsinking for 0.5 W operation?
No external heatsink is required for the 1N6015UR-1/TR at 0.5 W, provided it is mounted on FR4 PCB with recommended footprint (1 oz copper) and ambient temperature remains below 25 °C. Derating begins above 25 °C per Figure 1 in the datasheet, with full power limited to end cap temperature <100 °C.
Is the 1N6015UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N6015UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N6015UR-1/TR e3), indicating matte-tin end-cap plating. RoHS compliance applies to commercial-grade versions only; military-screened variants are not RoHS compliant.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N6015UR-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard using 12 mm carrier tape. This format enables automated surface-mount assembly. The electrical and mechanical specifications of 1N6015UR-1/TR are identical to the bulk-packaged 1N6015UR-1; only packaging differs.
Can the 1N6015UR-1/TR replace the 1N6015B-1 in axial-leaded designs?
No-the 1N6015UR-1/TR uses DO-213AA (MELF) surface-mount packaging, while the 1N6015B-1 uses DO-35 (axial-leaded) packaging. They share identical electrical specs but differ mechanically; PCB layout and assembly process must be redesigned to accommodate the cylindrical SMD geometry of the 1N6015UR-1/TR.
