Product details
Overview
1N5345BE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 8.7 V ±5%, 150 mA test current (IZT), 2.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 545 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at 25 °C lead temperature. 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 1N5345BE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5345BE3/TR12 pinout, 1N5345BE3/TR12 application, or 1N5345BE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (200 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.20 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown. Its 8.7 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 150 mA IZT with ±5% tolerance (B suffix), and its low 2.0 Ω dynamic impedance ensures stable regulation across load variations. The 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation with minimal heatsinking when leads are trimmed to 10 mm.
The 1N5345BE3/TR12 features a void-free UL94V-0 epoxy case, cathode band polarity marking, and 0.7 g mass. It withstands 260 °C soldering for 10 s and exhibits <10 μA reverse leakage at 6.25 V VR, meeting MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity requirements without external protection.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5345B (non-e3, bulk) | Same electrical specs but SnPb-plated leads; not RoHS compliant | Restricted to legacy military/aerospace programs requiring Pb content | Select only if RoHS exemption applies and SnPb assembly process is used |
| SMBJ5345B | Surface-mount SMB package; same VZ/IZT/ZZ but higher RθJA (85 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W) | Requires PCB copper area for thermal management; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping | Choose for automated SMT production where board space is constrained |
Compared with 1N5345BE3/TR12, the 1N5345B lacks RoHS compliance and requires Pb-based soldering, while SMBJ5345B trades axial-mount flexibility and superior thermal performance for surface-mount compatibility-making 1N5345BE3/TR12 optimal for cost-sensitive industrial power designs needing lead-based heatsinking.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5345BE3/TR12?
The 1N5345BE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 8.7 V regulation voltage falls within 8.265 V to 9.135 V at 150 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, per JEDEC-registered specifications.
Does the 1N5345BE3/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5345BE3/TR12 has moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow or wave soldering. Its void-free epoxy encapsulation prevents moisture ingress during standard handling and storage.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5345BE3/TR12?
The 1N5345BE3/TR12 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 200 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated under standardized test conditions and supports robust transient suppression in industrial power rails.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5345BE3/TR12 affect its power dissipation?
The 1N5345BE3/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W at 10 mm lead length. At 25 °C ambient with adequate lead heatsinking, this allows full 5 W dissipation; without heatsinking, power must be derated per Figure 1 in the Microsemi datasheet to avoid exceeding 150 °C junction temperature.
Is the 1N5345BE3/TR12 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N5345BE3/TR12 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for up to 10 seconds. Its UL94V-0 epoxy body remains stable under these conditions, and no special pre-bake or flux requirements apply beyond standard J-STD-001 guidelines.
