Product details
Overview
1N5341AE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5.0 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 6.2 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), 200 mA test current (IZT), 1.0 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 765 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at 25°C. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5341AE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5341AE3/TR8 pinout, 1N5341AE3/TR8 application, or 1N5341AE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (12.4 A), reverse leakage (10 µA at 4.9 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its low dynamic impedance (1.0 Ω) ensures minimal voltage deviation across 10–50% of IZM, and its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5.0 W dissipation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
The 1N5341AE3/TR8 exhibits tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.10 V), defined as the difference between voltages measured at 10% and 50% of IZM. It meets JEDEC 1N53xxB registration, supports tape-and-reel packaging (TR8 suffix), and complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V ±10% - defines nominal regulation point for precision reference design |
| Test Current (IZT) | 200 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; sets bias requirement |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 1.0 Ω max - ensures <0.2 V deviation across 10–50% IZM variation |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 765 mA - maximum continuous reverse current before thermal runaway at TL = 25°C |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 5.0 W at TL < 25°C - requires ≥3/8″ lead length heat sinking for full rating |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper or chassis via leads |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA max at VR = 4.9 V - confirms low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5341B | Same 6.2 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) vs. ±10% (A suffix); identical package, IZT, ZZ, IZM | Higher precision reference needed where tighter regulation stability is critical | Select 1N5341B when ±5% VZ tolerance is required; otherwise 1N5341AE3/TR8 suffices for cost-sensitive clamping |
| MMBZ5234BS | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 6.2 V ±5%; 200 mW rating (vs. 5 W); 100 Ω ZZ; 100 mA IZM | Low-power portable electronics where board space and thermal mass limit is critical | Choose MMBZ5234BS only for space-constrained, low-current (<100 mA) designs; not a thermal or surge-capable replacement |
Compared with 1N5341B, the 1N5341AE3/TR8 trades voltage precision for cost and availability in tape-and-reel; versus MMBZ5234BS, it delivers 25× higher power handling and 12× higher surge current, making it suitable for industrial power rail protection rather than signal-level biasing.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5341AE3/TR8?
The 1N5341AE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±10%, indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls between 5.58 V and 6.82 V at 200 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and TR8 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standards. This tolerance is suitable for non-critical regulation and robust clamping applications.
Can the 1N5341AE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5341AE3/TR8 is an axial-leaded T-18 package device and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly processes. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5341B or SMBG5341B in DO-214AA/DO-214AB packages. The 1N5341AE3/TR8 requires through-hole mounting with ≥3/8″ lead length for full 5.0 W power dissipation, and its thermal path relies on lead conduction-not PCB pads.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5341AE3/TR8?
The 1N5341AE3/TR8 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 12.4 A, specified as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its capability to absorb transient energy in overvoltage protection circuits without parametric shift or failure. The surge rating assumes proper lead heat sinking and is validated per JEDEC test methods referenced in Microsemi's 1N53xxB datasheet revision D.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5341AE3/TR8 affect its power handling?
The 1N5341AE3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W when mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. This allows full 5.0 W dissipation at TL ≤ 25°C. If leads are shorter or ambient temperature rises, derating is required-e.g., at TL = 75°C, max power drops to 3.75 W. Its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient rating on FR4 applies only with defined 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm trace width.
Is the 1N5341AE3/TR8 suitable for automotive applications?
The 1N5341AE3/TR8 operates across –65°C to +150°C and meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels when ordered with MQ/MX/MV prefixes, but the base 1N5341AE3/TR8 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, it may serve in non-safety-critical subsystems (e.g., cabin lighting power rails) if customer-qualified per internal stress testing; however, AEC-Q200-compliant alternatives like the BZX84-C6V2 should be verified for front-end modules or ADAS domains.
