Product details
Overview
1N5344BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 8.2 V, ±5% tolerance, 150 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1.5 mA test current, and 6.2 V minimum zener voltage at 1 A surge. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in DC power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5344BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 8.2 V nominal regulation, 5 W steady-state power rating, 180 W 8.3 ms surge capability, Pb-free Surmetic 40 package, and temperature coefficient behavior across operating range.
Technical Context
This device uses silicon-oxide passivated junction technology to achieve tight voltage tolerance (±5%), low leakage (≤0.2 µA at 6.2 V), and stable regulation under varying load and thermal conditions. Its axial lead construction and transfer-molded plastic case (Case 017AA) provide mechanical robustness and environmental protection.
The 1N5344BG delivers regulated output by maintaining reverse breakdown conduction above its specified zener voltage, with dynamic impedance defined at both IZT = 1.5 mA (150 Ω max) and IZK = 1 mA (200 Ω max). Junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 25 °C/W at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5344B | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; not RoHS-compliant | Identical regulation performance; unsuitable for Pb-free manufacturing | Select 1N5344B only if legacy SnPb assembly process is required and RoHS exemption applies |
| BZX85C8V2 | 5 W rating, same 8.2 V nominal, but higher ZZT (200 Ω max) and wider tolerance (±10%) | Lower precision and stability; acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy | Choose BZX85C8V2 for cost-driven designs where ±10% VZ tolerance and higher impedance are acceptable |
Compared with 1N5344BG, the 1N5344B offers identical regulation but lacks Pb-free compliance, while BZX85C8V2 trades tighter tolerance and lower impedance for lower cost and broader availability-making 1N5344BG optimal for RoHS-compliant, precision-regulated systems.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5344BG?
The 1N5344BG has a nominal zener voltage of 8.2 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a minimum of 7.79 V and maximum of 8.61 V at 25°C and IZT = 1.5 mA. This tight tolerance ensures consistent regulation across production lots and supports precision feedback loop design in power supplies.
How much power can the 1N5344BG dissipate continuously?
The 1N5344BG is rated for 5 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length. Above 25°C, it must be derated at 40 mW/°C. Its junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 25 °C/W, enabling predictable thermal management when mounted with standard lead heatsinking practices.
Does the 1N5344BG meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 'G' suffix in 1N5344BG explicitly denotes a Pb-free package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses lead-free terminations and transfer-molded plastic encapsulation meeting all substance restrictions and soldering compatibility requirements outlined in onsemi's Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual.
What is the maximum surge current the 1N5344BG can handle?
The 1N5344BG supports up to 180 W non-repetitive surge power for 8.3 ms, translating to approximately 21.9 A peak current at its 8.2 V nominal zener voltage. This capability is validated per Figure 5 in the datasheet and enables reliable transient suppression in automotive and industrial power rails.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5344BG and why does it matter?
The 1N5344BG has a maximum zener impedance of 150 Ω at IZT = 1.5 mA and 200 Ω at IZK = 1 mA. Low impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load current, directly improving regulation accuracy in feedback networks and reference circuits where stability is critical.
