Product details
Overview
1N5345BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 8.7 V ±5%, 150 mA test current (IZT), 2.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and maximum reverse current of 10 μA at 6.25 V (VR). 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/TR13 datasheet, 1N5345BE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5345BE3/TR13 application, or 1N5345BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (545 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 Zener voltage is specified at 25 °C with 150 mA DC test current and exhibits low dynamic impedance (2.0 Ω) and tight regulation (ΔVZ = 0.20 V between 10% and 50% of IZM).
The 1N5345BE3/TR13 uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), features cathode band polarity marking, and achieves 25 °C/W thermal resistance when leads are trimmed to 3/8 inch (10 mm) from body - enabling stable regulation under sustained 5 W dissipation with appropriate heat sinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.7 V ±5% at 150 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback and reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - supports high-current regulation without derating when lead-heat-sinked |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.0 Ω at IZT = 150 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 10 μA at VR = 6.25 V - guarantees low leakage in standby and low-power monitoring modes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable temperature rise with standard lead-mounting practice |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 545 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for industrial, automotive, and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), 0.7 g weight, cathode indicated by colored band. Leads are annealed matte-tin plated (RoHS-compliant, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; connected to regulated rail; voltage referenced to anode; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures standardized electrical behavior and interchangeability across qualified suppliers |
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Reduces calibration overhead in mid-precision analog references and supply monitors |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and bake-out prior to assembly - lowers manufacturing cost |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Enables handling without special static controls during board assembly and rework |
| High surge current capability | 545 A peak (8.3 ms) provides robust transient suppression without external TVS stacking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5345B (non-e3, non-TR) | Same electrical specs, but SnPb plating and bulk packaging - not RoHS-compliant or tape-and-reel ready | Not suitable for lead-free assembly or automated pick-and-place | Select 1N5345BE3/TR13 for RoHS compliance and SMT-line compatibility |
| MMSZ5236B-TP (Micro Commercial Components) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, same 8.7 V ±5%, but lower Pd = 500 mW and higher ZZ = 10 Ω | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot replace 1N5345BE3/TR13 in 5 W power regulation | Choose 1N5345BE3/TR13 when axial mounting, high surge immunity, or full 5 W dissipation is required |
Compared with 1N5345B and MMSZ5236B-TP, the 1N5345BE3/TR13 uniquely combines RoHS-compliant matte-tin leads, tape-and-reel delivery, 5 W power handling, and 545 A surge rating - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-reliability, high-energy industrial power regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5345BE3/TR13?
The 1N5345BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 8.7 V regulation point falls within 8.265 V to 9.135 V at 25 °C with 150 mA test current. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and TR13 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standards.
Can the 1N5345BE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5345BE3/TR13 uses axial-leaded T-18 packaging and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5345B series. Attempting to mount the 1N5345BE3/TR13 in an SMT footprint would violate mechanical and thermal design rules and compromise reliability.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5345BE3/TR13?
The 1N5345BE3/TR13 is rated for a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 545 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated under JEDEC test conditions and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure when properly mounted with adequate lead length.
How does thermal resistance affect the 1N5345BE3/TR13's power handling?
The 1N5345BE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W when leads are trimmed to 3/8 inch (10 mm) from the body. This allows full 5 W dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature. On FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 85 °C/W, limiting usable power to ~1.47 W at 25 °C ambient unless additional copper area or heatsinking is applied.
Is the 1N5345BE3/TR13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the 1N5345BE3/TR13 operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and meets MIL-STD-750 ESD testing (Method 1020). Its 545 A surge rating and 8.7 V regulation make it suitable for battery rail monitoring and load-dump protection in automotive ECUs, provided mechanical mounting and thermal design comply with AEC-Q200 stress guidelines.
