Product details
Overview
1N5343B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 7.5 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 175 Ω at 1.5 mA test current, and surge rating of 630 A at 8.3 ms. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in DC power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5343B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 7.5 V nominal regulation, 175 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 1.5 mA, 10.7 V maximum leakage voltage (VR), 0.15 mA reverse leakage at VR, and thermal resistance of 25 °C/W junction-to-lead.
Technical Context
The 1N5343B employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction for stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage. Its zener voltage is specified at two test currents-IZT = 1.5 mA (for regulation) and IZK = 1 mA (for knee region)-with corresponding impedances of 175 Ω and 200 Ω respectively.
It features Class 3 ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), 180 W non-repetitive surge capability at 8.3 ms, and operates across −65 °C to +200 °C, with DC max junction temperature limited to 150 °C. Thermal performance is defined by θJL = 25 °C/W at TL = 25 °C with 3/8″ lead length.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.13–7.88 V (±5% tolerance at IZT = 1.5 mA; enables precise 7.5 V reference in regulated supplies) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 175 Ω max at IZT = 1.5 mA (low dynamic resistance ensures stable regulation under load variation) |
| Max Power Dissipation | 5 W at TL = 25 °C (supports robust shunt regulation without external heatsinking for moderate loads) |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.15 mA max at VR = 5.7 V (low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks) |
| Surge Current (IR) | 630 A peak at 8.3 ms (withstands transient overvoltage events per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3) |
| Junction-to-Lead θ | 25 °C/W (enables thermal design using lead conduction; derates 40 mW/°C above 25 °C) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) (survives handling and board-level ESD without parameter shift) |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-lead, transfer-molded plastic (Case 017AA), cathode indicated by band. Dimensions: 8.38–8.89 mm length × 3.30–3.68 mm diameter, leads 25.4–31.75 mm long.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulation output node | Connected to input voltage source; maintains 7.5 V relative to anode during reverse conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | Same 6.2 V nominal VZ but ±5% tolerance, 10 W rating, higher ZZT (10 Ω), TO-204AA metal can package | Higher power dissipation and better thermal stability; requires mounting hardware | Select when >5 W continuous dissipation or superior thermal cycling reliability is required |
| BZX85C7V5 | 7.5 V nominal VZ, ±5%, 1.3 W rating, 100 Ω ZZT, DO-41 package, lower surge rating (100 A) | Lower cost and smaller footprint; insufficient for 630 A surge or 5 W DC operation | Select for space-constrained consumer electronics where full 5 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5343B, the 1N4734A offers higher power and thermal robustness but larger size and cost, while the BZX85C7V5 provides compactness and lower price at the expense of surge resilience and power handling-making 1N5343B optimal for industrial 5 W shunt regulation where axial-lead reliability and 630 A surge margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5343B?
The 1N5343B has a nominal zener voltage of 7.5 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual VZ falls between 7.13 V and 7.88 V when tested at IZT = 1.5 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tight tolerance supports accurate voltage setting in feedback networks and reference circuits without trimming.
Can the 1N5343B be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5343B is exclusively 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 compliance. For SMT alternatives, consider the SMAZ7.5 or BZT52-B7V5 series, which differ in power rating, impedance, and surge capability.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5343B?
The 1N5343B is rated for 5 W maximum steady-state power dissipation at TL = 25 °C with 3/8″ lead length. Power must be derated by 40 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at TL = 150 °C. This rating assumes proper lead conduction to PCB copper or heatsink.
How does the 1N5343B perform under transient surge conditions?
The 1N5343B withstands up to 630 A peak non-repetitive surge current at 8.3 ms pulse width, corresponding to 180 W instantaneous power. This capability is validated per IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards and enables use in unprotected AC/DC front-ends and motor drive snubbers without additional TVS devices.
Is the 1N5343B RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1N5343B is offered in Pb-free packaging (indicated by the "G" suffix in ordering codes such as 1N5343BG). It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 moisture sensitivity requirements, supporting lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes.
