Product details
Overview
1N5346BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 9.1 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 150 Ω at 2 mA test current, and surge rating of 520 A at 8.3 ms. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5346BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, mechanical package details, and real-world selection guidance for industrial power management and analog signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The 1N5346BG employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction for stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2 mA with guaranteed min/typ/max values of 8.65 V / 9.1 V / 9.56 V, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V (≈0.22 mV/°C per Figure 2).
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) and derating of 40 mW/°C above 25 °C. The device supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 520 A (8.3 ms), validated under JEDEC-standard square-wave pulse conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5346BRLG | Tape-and-reel packaging (4000 units), identical electrical specs and package dimensions | Optimized for automated SMT placement; requires reel-handling infrastructure | Select when integrating into high-volume PCB assembly with pick-and-place equipment |
| MMBZ5240BLT1G | SOT-23 surface-mount package, 100 mW PD, 10 V nominal, ±5% tolerance | Lower power, smaller footprint; unsuitable for >100 mA continuous regulation | Choose only for space-constrained, low-current biasing-not as direct replacement for 5 W dissipation |
Compared with 1N5346BG, the 1N5346BRLG offers identical regulation performance with logistics optimization for production lines, while MMBZ5240BLT1G trades power capability for miniaturization-neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout revision and thermal reassessment.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1N5346BG?
The 1N5346BG has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with guaranteed minimum, nominal, and maximum values of 8.65 V, 9.1 V, and 9.56 V respectively at IZT = 2 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance is defined per JEDEC standards and applies to all devices bearing the "B" suffix in the 1N53 series.
Can 1N5346BG be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5346BG is an axial-lead through-hole device in Case 017AA plastic package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly processes. For SMT alternatives, consider the MMBZ5240BLT1G (SOT-23, 100 mW), but note its significantly lower power rating and different thermal behavior compared to the 5 W 1N5346BG.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N5346BG?
The 1N5346BG has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at lead temperature (TL) = 25 °C with 3/8 inch lead length. Above 25 °C, it must be derated linearly at 40 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at TL = 150 °C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking via leads per Figure 1 thermal resistance curves.
Does 1N5346BG meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1N5346BG explicitly denotes Pb-free packaging compliant with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, and its marking conforms to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609B Class 3 requirements.
What is the surge current rating for 1N5346BG?
The 1N5346BG is rated for a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 520 A at 8.3 ms pulse width, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet. This rating is validated under JEDEC-standard square-wave conditions and correlates to 180 W surge power per the Maximum Ratings table.
