Product details
Overview
1N5337BRLG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 4.7 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 260 Ω at 2 mA test current, and surge rating of 1010 A at 8.3 ms. It features silicon-oxide passivated junction for stable regulation in DC power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5337BRLG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its 4.7 V regulation tolerance, 260 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 2 mA, 0.44 μA leakage at VR = 15.3 V, and Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic package with cathode band polarity marking.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a silicon p-n junction. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains regulation across junction temperatures from −65°C to +200°C (DC operation up to +150°C).
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance of 25°C/W at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length, and transient thermal response supports non-repetitive 8.3 ms surges up to 1010 A without failure under specified mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.7 V nominal (4.47–4.94 V range), enabling precise 4.7 V rail clamping or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5 W at TL = 25°C, derated 40 mW/°C above 25°C - defines max continuous DC load capability |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 260 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.44 μA max at VR = 15.3 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 1010 A peak at 8.3 ms pulse width - provides robust transient overvoltage suppression |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +200°C (non-repetitive pulsed), +150°C max for DC - supports industrial and automotive ambient extremes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level handling |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-lead Surmetic 40 plastic case (Case 017AA), 8.38–8.89 mm body length, 3.30–3.68 mm diameter, cathode indicated by colored band. Lead finish is solderable; max solder temperature 260°C at 1/16″ from case for 10 s.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to ground or lower potential node during reverse-bias regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection | Connected to regulated voltage rail; polarity band identifies this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silicon-oxide passivated junction | Enables tight ±5% VZ tolerance and long-term parameter stability vs. standard diffused Zeners |
| Surge rating: 1010 A @ 8.3 ms | Withstands lightning-induced transients and inductive kickback without degradation |
| Pb-free Surmetic 40 package | Meets RoHS compliance requirements while maintaining mechanical robustness and moisture resistance |
| ESD rating >16 kV (HBM) | Eliminates pre-assembly ESD protection circuitry in automated handling environments |
| Max 6 guaranteed electrical parameters | Ensures production consistency across VZ, ZZT, IR, IZK, ZZK, and IZM - reduces incoming inspection burden |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5337B | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; no "G" suffix indicates non-Pb-free construction | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant designs requiring Pb-free assembly | Select 1N5337BRLG when Pb-free compliance and tape-and-reel packaging are required |
| BZX85C4V7 | 1.3 W rating, 500 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, TO-204AA package - lower power and higher impedance than 1N5337BRLG | Used where space constraints favor axial leads but power dissipation is ≤1.3 W | Choose BZX85C4V7 only if system power budget limits Zener dissipation to <1.3 W |
Compared with 1N5337BRLG, the 1N5337B lacks Pb-free certification and requires different procurement logistics, while BZX85C4V7 offers smaller footprint but sacrifices 3.7 W power headroom and 2.4× higher dynamic impedance - making 1N5337BRLG optimal for high-energy clamping and precision reference roles.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N5337BRLG?
The 1N5337BRLG has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, specified as 4.47 V minimum to 4.94 V maximum at IZT = 2 mA, with 40 ±10 ms current application prior to measurement at TA = 25°C ±8°C/−2°C. This tolerance applies strictly to the B-suffix device per JEDEC standards and is guaranteed across production lots.
Can 1N5337BRLG be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5337BRLG uses an axial-lead Surmetic 40 plastic package (Case 017AA) with 3.30–3.68 mm diameter and 8.38–8.89 mm body length. It is not compatible with SMT reflow processes and requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal derating compliance.
What is the maximum steady-state current 1N5337BRLG can regulate continuously?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for 1N5337BRLG is 1010 mA, calculated as PD/VZ(min) = 5 W / 4.47 V. This assumes TL = 25°C and 3/8″ lead length; actual usable current decreases with rising lead temperature per the 40 mW/°C derating curve.
How does the 1N5337BRLG perform under transient surge conditions?
The 1N5337BRLG sustains 1010 A peak non-repetitive surge current at 8.3 ms pulse width per Figure 5 in the datasheet. Performance is validated with mounting contacts located 3/8″–1/2″ from the diode body, and it remains within specification after single-event exposure without parameter shift.
Is thermal resistance data available for 1N5337BRLG in PCB-mounted configuration?
No - the datasheet specifies only junction-to-lead thermal resistance (θJL = 25°C/W) for 3/8″ lead length, not junction-to-PCB or junction-to-ambient. For PCB thermal design, users must characterize θJA empirically using the provided mechanical outline and standard FR-4 layout practices per JEDEC JESD51.
