Product details
Overview
1N5341B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 6.2 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 200 Ω at 1 mA test current, and surge rating of 765 A at 8.3 ms. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in low-power DC power supplies, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5341B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 6.2 V nominal regulation, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 1 mA, 0.1 µA leakage at VR = 12.4 V, 200 mA maximum DC zener current, and compatibility with standard axial-lead PCB mounting and wave soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds.
Technical Context
The 1N5341B uses a silicon-oxide passivated junction to achieve tight voltage tolerance and stable regulation across temperature. Its zener voltage is specified at two test currents (10% and 50% of IZM), ensuring consistent performance under varying load conditions.
Thermal management relies on junction-to-lead conduction through 3/8″ axial leads, with θJL = 25 °C/W at TL = 25°C. The device supports pulsed operation up to +200°C (non-repetitive) and continuous operation up to +150°C, with ESD robustness exceeding 16 kV per Human Body Model.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V nominal, 5.89–6.51 V range (±5%); defines precise clamping threshold in shunt regulation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5 W at TL = 25°C; sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω max @ IZT = 1 mA; determines regulation stiffness and output voltage ripple sensitivity |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 µA max @ VR = 12.4 V; ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IR) | 765 A peak @ 8.3 ms; enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Max DC Zener Current (IZM) | 200 mA; derived from PD/VZ, limits sustained current in active regulation mode |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); provides robust handling during board assembly and field service |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in 5 V linear regulator circuits where cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage reference is required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator providing precise 6.2 V reference to error amplifier input. Use Value: Maintains ±1% output regulation despite ±10% input variation and 10–100 mA load changes due to low ZZT and tight VZ tolerance. | Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V or 5 V GPIO pins from accidental 12 V supply misconnection or ESD transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamp limiting pin voltage to 6.2 V + forward drop, diverting excess current to ground.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | Same 6.2 V nominal, but 1 W power rating and higher ZZT (10 Ω vs 200 Ω); TO-204AA package | Lower power dissipation limits use to ≤100 mA loads; less suitable for high-current clamping | Select 1N5341B when >1 W continuous regulation or high-surge immunity is required |
| BZX55-C6V2 | 6.2 V nominal, 500 mW rating, 60 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA; DO-35 glass package | Smaller footprint but lower surge rating (100 A vs 765 A); not rated for 260°C soldering | Choose 1N5341B for industrial environments requiring Pb-free compliance, high-temp soldering, and transient robustness |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX55-C6V2, the 1N5341B delivers 5× higher power handling and 7.6× greater surge current capability-critical for automotive load-dump protection and industrial power supply reference stability under line surges.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5341B?
The 1N5341B has a nominal zener voltage of 6.2 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a minimum of 5.89 V and maximum of 6.51 V at IZT = 1 mA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance is achieved via silicon-oxide passivated junction technology and is validated across production lots per onsemi's quality standards.
Can the 1N5341B be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5341B is an axial-lead device in Case 017AA plastic package and is not compatible with SMT assembly. It requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal derating compliance. For SMT alternatives, consider the SMAZ6.2 or NZ9F6V2, but note differences in power rating and surge capability versus the 1N5341B.
What is the maximum allowable surge current for the 1N5341B?
The 1N5341B supports a peak non-repetitive surge current of 765 A at an 8.3 ms pulse width, as specified in the onsemi datasheet. This value is measured under standardized test conditions (TA = 25°C, mounting contact located 3/8″–1/2″ from diode body) and reflects its suitability for transient overvoltage suppression in power rails.
How does thermal derating affect the 1N5341B's power dissipation above 25°C?
The 1N5341B derates linearly at 40 mW/°C above TL = 25°C, reducing maximum steady-state power from 5 W to zero at TL = 150°C. This derating is based on its junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W and must be applied using measured lead temperature-not ambient-to ensure reliability in enclosed or high-temperature environments.
Is the 1N5341B RoHS compliant and what does the 'G' suffix indicate?
Yes, the 1N5341B is RoHS compliant. The 'G' suffix in ordering codes (e.g., 1N5341BG) explicitly denotes Pb-free packaging per JEDEC J-STD-609A, with no lead content in solderable terminations or mold compound. All 1N5341B units supplied by Aetrix Electronics carry this designation and meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
