Product details
Overview
1N5345CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5.0 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 8.7 V ±2% (C suffix), 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 1N5345CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5345CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5345CE3/TR13 application, or 1N5345CE3/TR13 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 in reverse-biased mode, maintaining stable output voltage across wide operating current (10–545 mA) and temperature ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (2.0 Ω) and tight ±2% voltage tolerance ensure minimal deviation under load variation.
The 1N5345CE3/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy T-18 package with cathode band polarity marking, rated for 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 25°C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length, and exhibits 0.20 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.7 V ±2% - precise regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight tolerance |
| Test Current (IZT) | 150 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; defines typical bias condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.0 Ω - low AC resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under dynamic load changes |

| Surge Current (IZSM) | 200 A - peak non-repetitive half-sine (8.3 ms) capability for transient overvoltage clamping |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables 5.0 W operation with modest heatsinking at lead termination |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5345B | Same 8.7 V nominal VZ but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) and higher ZZ (2.0 Ω vs. same value; note: both specify 2.0 Ω at IZT=150 mA) | Acceptable where tighter tolerance not required; lower cost; identical thermal and surge specs | Select 1N5345B if system-level calibration compensates for voltage variation; choose 1N5345CE3/TR13 for uncalibrated precision feedback |
| MMSZ5235ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 8.7 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZ; 65 mA IZM - not a power-equivalent replacement | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 5 W regulation or high-current surge handling | Use MMSZ5235ET1G only in space-constrained, low-power signal conditioning; retain 1N5345CE3/TR13 for primary power rail regulation |
Compared with 1N5345B and MMSZ5235ET1G, the 1N5345CE3/TR13 uniquely delivers ±2% tolerance at 5.0 W power handling and 200 A surge capability in an axial-leaded T-18 package-enabling direct replacement of legacy 1N53xx designs without layout or thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5345CE3/TR13?
The 1N5345CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 8.7 V regulation voltage falls within 8.53–8.87 V at 25°C lead temperature under 150 mA test current, enabling high-accuracy voltage references without post-manufacture trimming.
Can the 1N5345CE3/TR13 replace the 1N5345B in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N5345CE3/TR13 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 1N5345B-same T-18 package, pinout, thermal resistance, and surge rating-but offers tighter ±2% voltage tolerance versus ±5%. No PCB or thermal redesign is needed; it improves regulation accuracy while maintaining full interchangeability in legacy 1N5345B footprints.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N5345CE3/TR13?
The 1N5345CE3/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) below 25°C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. Derating is required above 25°C per Figure 1 in the datasheet; at 75°C TL, maximum power drops to approximately 3.75 W.
Does the 1N5345CE3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N5345CE3/TR13 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance: matte-tin plated leads per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and halogen-free void-free epoxy encapsulation meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with no exemptions required for lead or other restricted substances.
What is the voltage regulation (ΔVZ) specification for the 1N5345CE3/TR13?
The voltage regulation (ΔVZ) for the 1N5345CE3/TR13 is 0.20 V-defined as the difference between Zener voltage measured at 10% and 50% of its maximum Zener current (IZM = 545 mA). This low ΔVZ confirms excellent line regulation performance across its operational current range.
