Product details
Overview
1N5340BRLG 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 power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5340BRLG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior under DC and surge conditions, package dimensions, and real-world design implications for reliability-critical analog subsystems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon-oxide passivated junction Zener regulator, optimized for steady-state DC regulation and transient surge resilience. Its 5 W power rating is defined at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length, and derates linearly at 40 mW/°C above that temperature.
The 1N5340BRLG exhibits a typical temperature coefficient near zero (±2 mV/°C) in the 6 V range, enabling stable reference performance across −65°C to +150°C operating junction temperatures. Its 180 W non-repetitive surge capability at 8.3 ms pulse width supports robustness against line transients in AC/DC front-end designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.70–6.30 V @ IZT = 1 mA - defines regulation band for precision biasing and feedback sensing |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5 W @ TL = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC load in series-pass or shunt-regulator topologies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω max @ IZT = 1 mA - determines output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Surge Current (IR) | 790 A peak @ 8.3 ms - enables survival of IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges without clamping degradation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.19 mA max @ VR = 12.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 25 °C/W - governs thermal rise from die to lead; critical for PCB trace heatsinking design |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports handling without external ESD protection in assembly environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-lead Surmetic 40 plastic case (Case 017AA), void-free transfer-molded thermosetting material, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: A = 8.38–8.89 mm body length, B = 3.30–3.68 mm body diameter, D = 0.94–1.09 mm lead diameter, K = 25.4–31.75 mm overall length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5340B | Identical electrical specs but Pb-containing package; same 6.0 V nominal, 200 Ω ZZT, 5 W rating | No RoHS compliance; unsuitable for EU/China export or medical-grade assemblies | Select only if legacy Pb-based assembly process is mandated and environmental certification is waived |
| BZX84-C6V2LT1G | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; 6.2 V nominal, 100 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, 350 mW PD | Lower power and smaller footprint; not suitable for >350 mW continuous dissipation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where thermal management allows ≤350 mW operation |
Compared with 1N5340BRLG, the 1N5340B lacks RoHS compliance but matches all electrical behavior, while BZX84-C6V2LT1G trades power handling and axial form factor for miniaturization-making it viable only in low-power, surface-mount designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for 1N5340BRLG?
The 1N5340BRLG has a guaranteed ±5% zener voltage tolerance at IZT = 1 mA, resulting in a specified range of 5.70 V to 6.30 V. This tolerance is JEDEC-defined and tested per onsemi's production screening, ensuring consistent performance across manufacturing lots without binning or sorting.
Can 1N5340BRLG be used in surface-mount designs?
No-1N5340BRLG is an axial-lead through-hole device in Case 017AA packaging and is not compatible with SMT reflow or pick-and-place processes. For surface-mount alternatives, consider the BZX84-C6V2LT1G or MMBZ5226BLT1G, both rated near 6.2 V but with different power and impedance characteristics.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation of 1N5340BRLG?
The 1N5340BRLG supports continuous DC operation up to +150°C junction temperature. At higher ambient or lead temperatures, derating applies: power must be reduced by 40 mW per °C above 25°C lead temperature, based on its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.
How does the 1N5340BRLG perform under surge conditions?
The 1N5340BRLG withstands up to 180 W non-repetitive surge power for 8.3 ms, corresponding to 790 A peak current at its 12.7 V maximum reverse voltage. This performance is validated per IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity testing protocols and requires no external snubbing components in basic clamp configurations.
Is thermal resistance data provided for PCB trace heatsinking of 1N5340BRLG?
Yes-the 1N5340BRLG datasheet specifies junction-to-lead thermal resistance (θJL) as 25 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length. For PCB heatsinking, thermal performance depends on copper area and thickness connected to each lead; Figure 1 in the onsemi datasheet shows θJL vs. lead length to guide layout optimization.
