Product details
Overview
1N5343BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 7.5 V ±5%, 175 mA test current (IZT), 1.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and maximum reverse current of 10 μA at 5.4 V. It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5343BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5343BE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5343BE3/TR13 application, or 1N5343BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (10.7 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.15 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-bias mode, maintaining stable output voltage across wide current variation (10–175 mA) and temperature range. Its low dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation under load transients, while its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables high steady-state current operation when mounted with 3/8″ lead length from body.
The 1N5343BE3/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and is rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s). It meets JEDEC 1N53xxB series specifications and supports tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 suffix).
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5343BE3/TR13?
The 1N5343BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 7.5 V regulation voltage falls within 7.125 V to 7.875 V at 25 °C with 175 mA test current. The tolerance remains stable across its full operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), supporting predictable design margins in industrial power applications.
Can the 1N5343BE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N5343BE3/TR13 is an axial-leaded T-18 (DO-204AL) package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5343B series in SMB package. The 1N5343BE3/TR13 requires through-hole mounting with minimum 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body for rated 5 W dissipation.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5343BE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 board?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5343BE3/TR13 has a steady-state power rating of 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient. This derates linearly above 25 °C per the published thermal resistance of 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient. Full 5 W operation requires junction-to-lead cooling with ≥3/8″ lead length.
Does the 1N5343BE3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes-the "e3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating on leads and void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, with no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request for 1N5343BE3/TR13.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N5343BE3/TR13 and how is it defined?
The 1N5343BE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 10.7 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in power rails exposed to inductive kickback or lightning-induced surges, provided the device is operated within its thermal limits and not subjected to repetitive events.
