Product details
Overview
1N6028UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 500 mW Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 150 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 1 mA maximum reverse leakage at 120 V, 1250 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA test current, and DO-213AA (MLL34/SOD80) MELF glass package. It regulates voltage in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial power supplies and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6028UR/TR datasheet, 1N6028UR/TR pinout, 1N6028UR/TR application, or 1N6028UR/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (300 °C/W junction-to-ambient), low capacitance (<1 pF typical), radiation-hardened construction, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating for commercial-grade reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with regulation established at IZT = 1 mA. Its Zener impedance (ZZT = 1250 Ω) and temperature coefficient (+0.110 %/°C) are specified at 30 °C lead temperature per JEDEC test conditions.
The DO-213AA hermetically sealed glass package enables stable operation from −65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with metallurgical bonding ensuring reliability under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 µA up to 120 V, supporting high-impedance bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 150 V ±5% at 1 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.5 W at 25 °C ambient - limits continuous power handling without derating on FR4 board. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 1250 Ω at 1 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes in regulation circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.1 µA at 120 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance voltage divider or reference applications. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including aerospace and downhole instrumentation. |
| Thermal Resistance | 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient - informs PCB copper area requirements for thermal management at full power. |
| Capacitance | <1 pF typical - preserves high-frequency signal integrity in RF detector or fast transient suppression circuits. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AA (SOD80 / MLL34) MELF glass package: hermetically sealed cylindrical body with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin end-cap plating; cathode indicated by single band; polarity: banded end positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; establishes reference potential for Zener voltage measurement. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 150 V relative to anode when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Radiation-hardened construction | Inherently resistant to total ionizing dose (TID) per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space and nuclear instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6028AUR/TR | ±10% Zener tolerance (A suffix) vs. ±5% (B suffix); otherwise identical electrical and mechanical specs. | Lower cost for non-critical voltage references where ±10% tolerance is acceptable. | Select 1N6028AUR/TR only when system-level calibration compensates for wider voltage spread. |
| BZX85C150-TAP | DO-41 axial package (not surface-mount); 1.3 W power rating; ±5% tolerance; 150 Ω ZZT at 5 mA. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or higher-power dissipation needs, but incompatible with SMT production flow. | Choose BZX85C150-TAP only for manual assembly or legacy board rework where footprint change is acceptable. |
Compared with 1N6028UR/TR, 1N6028AUR/TR trades tighter voltage control for lower cost, while BZX85C150-TAP offers higher power and lower impedance but requires axial-leaded layout and sacrifices SMT manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N6028UR/TR?
The 1N6028UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This means the actual measured VZ at 1 mA test current falls between 142.5 V and 157.5 V under standard test conditions. The 1N6028UR/TR datasheet confirms this tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range.
Is 1N6028UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N6028UR/TR is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in its full manufacturer marking and specification sheet. It uses matte-tin end-cap plating and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. RoHS compliance applies only to commercial-grade versions; military-screened variants use tin-lead plating and are not RoHS compliant.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N6028UR/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N6028UR/TR is 0.1 µA at 120 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0228-1 datasheet. This value is measured at 30 °C lead temperature and reflects worst-case leakage well below the breakdown region, critical for high-impedance bias networks.
Can 1N6028UR/TR be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N6028UR/TR supports junction temperatures from −65 °C to +175 °C and is qualified for operation in high-temperature environments such as downhole oil-well tools or engine-mounted electronics. Its DO-213AA glass package and metallurgical bonds maintain parameter stability at elevated temperatures, with derating applied above 25 °C ambient per Figure 1.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in 1N6028UR/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N6028UR/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard using 12 mm carrier tape, enabling automated SMT placement. This format is standard for volume production and differs from bulk or ammo-pack options. The "TR" does not affect electrical specifications or reliability screening level.
