Microsemi IN5518BUR-1 to 1N5546BUR-1 Low Voltage Surface Mount 500 mW Avalanche Diodes Datasheet
The Microsemi Low Voltage Surface Mount 500 mW Avalanche Diodes series (IN5518BUR‑1 to 1N5546BUR‑1, also offered as MLL 5518B‑1 to MLL 5546B‑1) provides Zener voltage regulation from 3.3 V to 33 V in a hermetically sealed glass DO‑213AA package. The devices feature an internal metallurgical bond (identified by the “‑1” suffix) and are available in MIL‑PRF‑19500/4 qualified versions (JAN, JANTX, JANTXV) for military applications.
Key specifications include standard voltage tolerance of ±5 % (B suffix) with tighter ±2 % (C suffix) or ±1 % (D suffix) options, a maximum steady‑state power dissipation of 0.5 W, operating temperature range from –65 °C to +175 °C, thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction‑to‑end‑cap) or 250 °C/W (junction‑to‑ambient on FR4), and a forward voltage of 1.1 V at 200 mA. Recommended soldering is 260 °C for up to 10 seconds.
