Product details
Overview
1N5340B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 6.0 V, ±5% tolerance, 200 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 mA test current, and 12.7 V maximum reverse leakage voltage. It delivers stable voltage regulation in DC power supply rails, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for analog signal conditioning in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5340B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 6.0 V nominal zener voltage, 1 A maximum surge current rating at 8.3 ms, 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic package compatibility with wave and reflow soldering.
Technical Context
The 1N5340B operates as a silicon-oxide passivated junction Zener regulator, optimized for steady-state and transient voltage clamping in low-to-medium power linear supplies. Its design supports precise 6.0 V regulation across temperature via tight ±5% initial tolerance and controlled temperature coefficient behavior in the 6 V range.
It features Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), 180 W non-repetitive surge capability at 8.3 ms, and guaranteed limits on six electrical parameters including VZ, IZM, ZZT, ZZK, IR, and VR. The device is rated for operation from −65 °C to +200 °C, with DC max junction temperature limited to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 6.0 V - precise regulation point for 5–6 V logic supply references and bias networks |
| Zener Voltage Range | 5.70–6.30 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping threshold in production |
| Zener Impedance | 200 Ω max @ 1 mA - low dynamic resistance maintains regulation accuracy under load variation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5340 | Same 6.0 V nominal VZ, but ±10% tolerance (vs. ±5% for 1N5340B); no guaranteed six-parameter limits | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; higher VZ spread increases risk of out-of-spec operation in precision references | Select 1N5340 only for cost-sensitive, non-critical clamping where ±10% VZ variation is acceptable |
| MMBZ5234B | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; same 6.0 V nominal VZ and ±5% tolerance; lower 0.5 W power rating | Used in space-constrained PCBs; unsuitable for >500 mW continuous dissipation or surge-heavy environments | Choose MMBZ5234B only for low-power, high-density layouts where axial leads are impractical |
Compared with 1N5340 and MMBZ5234B, the 1N5340B offers superior surge resilience (180 W vs. ≤10 W), higher power handling (5 W vs. 0.5 W), and tighter parametric guarantees-making it the preferred choice for industrial-grade voltage regulation where reliability under stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5340B?
The 1N5340B has a nominal zener voltage of 6.0 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual zener voltage falls between 5.70 V and 6.30 V at 1 mA test current. This tight tolerance is specified per JEDEC standards and confirmed in onsemi's Rev. 19 datasheet. The 1N5340B achieves this consistency through silicon-oxide passivated junction technology and 100% electrical screening across six parameters.
Can the 1N5340B be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5340B is an axial-lead device housed in the Surmetic 40 plastic package (JEDEC CASE 017AA) and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly processes. For SMT alternatives with identical 6.0 V regulation, consider the MMBZ5234B (SOT-23) or NZ9F6V0T5G (SOD-923), though both have lower power ratings. The 1N5340B requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal compliance.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5340B and under what conditions?
The 1N5340B is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 1 A at a pulse width of 8.3 ms, corresponding to 180 W peak power. This rating assumes TA = 25 °C and proper lead mounting per datasheet Note 4. The surge capability is validated per Figure 5 in the onsemi datasheet and applies only to single-event transients-not repetitive or sustained overload conditions.
How does the 1N5340B's zener impedance affect its regulation performance?
With a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 200 Ω at 1 mA test current, the 1N5340B exhibits low dynamic resistance, ensuring minimal output voltage deviation under varying load currents. This value directly determines regulation error: for example, a 10 mA change in zener current causes ≤2 V shift in VZ. Lower ZZT improves stability in precision reference applications compared to higher-impedance Zeners like the 1N4735A (15 Ω at 20 mA but 500 Ω at 1 mA).
Is the 1N5340B RoHS-compliant and what packaging options are available?
Yes, the 1N5340B is RoHS-compliant and offered exclusively in Pb-free packaging, denoted by the "G" suffix (e.g., 1N5340BG). It ships in 1000-unit boxes or 4000-unit tape-and-reel formats. The Surmetic 40 plastic case meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 requirements and is qualified for standard reflow and wave soldering per onsemi's Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual.
