Product details
Overview
1N5347B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 10.0 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 125 Ω at 2 mA test current, and surge rating of 475 A at 8.3 ms. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in DC power supply feedback paths, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5347B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 10 V nominal regulation, low 125 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 2 mA, 0.22 μA leakage at VR = 8.6 V, 125 mA maximum DC zener current, and compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts using CASE 017AA packaging.
Technical Context
The 1N5347B employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction for stable voltage regulation under varying temperature and load conditions. Its zener voltage is specified at two test currents (10% and 50% of IZM), ensuring consistent regulation across operating ranges.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length, and it supports pulsed operation up to +200°C (non-repetitive) while maintaining DC operation within −65°C to +150°C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.5–10.5 V @ IZT = 2 mA - defines tight regulation window for 10 V reference designs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 125 Ω max @ IZT = 2 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max DC Zener Current (IZM) | 125 mA - sets absolute upper limit for continuous regulation current at rated power |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.22 μA @ VR = 8.6 V - enables low-power standby operation without significant quiescent loss |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 475 A @ 8.3 ms - provides robust transient overvoltage clamping capability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5 W @ TL = 25°C - establishes thermal design baseline for heatsinking and layout |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 25 °C/W - determines temperature rise per watt dissipated into leads |
Pinout & Package
1N5347B uses an axial-lead, transfer-molded plastic package (CASE 017AA) with cathode indicated by a polarity band. Leads are corrosion-resistant and readily solderable, rated for 260°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; forms reference ground return path |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulation output node | Connected to higher-potential side; delivers stable 10 V reference when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level handling and assembly |
| Surge Withstand | 180 W peak @ 8.3 ms - sustains lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients without degradation |
| Tight Voltage Tolerance | ±5% (JEDEC B-suffix) - reduces binning requirements and simplifies BOM management |
| Silicon-Oxide Passivation | Stable junction characteristics over time and temperature - maintains regulation accuracy across 10+ year deployments |
| Pb-Free Packaging | RoHS-compliant G-suffix variant available - meets global environmental compliance without derating or requalification |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Automotive Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5347 | Same electrical specs but ±10% tolerance (no B-suffix); higher VZ spread (9.0–11.0 V) | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost for non-critical biasing | Select 1N5347B when ±5% VZ tolerance is mandatory for closed-loop feedback accuracy |
| BZX85C10 | 1.3 W rating, 10 V ±5%, ZZT = 20 Ω @ 25 mA - lower power, lower impedance, different package (DO-41) | Suitable for low-current references (<100 mA); incompatible with 5 W thermal mass requirements | Choose BZX85C10 only for space-constrained, low-power designs where 125 mA IZM headroom is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5347 and BZX85C10, the 1N5347B uniquely balances 5 W power handling, ±5% VZ tolerance, and axial-lead manufacturability-making it optimal for industrial power supplies requiring field-replaceable, high-surge-capability regulation without SMT rework.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5347B?
The 1N5347B has a nominal zener voltage of 10.0 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual VZ falls between 9.5 V and 10.5 V when tested at IZT = 2 mA. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the onsemi datasheet Rev. 19 (July 2024) and applies specifically to the B-suffix device, distinguishing it from wider-tolerance variants like the base 1N5347.
What is the maximum continuous zener current for the 1N5347B?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1N5347B is 125 mA, derived from its 5 W power rating divided by the maximum VZ value (10.5 V). This value is explicitly listed in Table 1 of the onsemi datasheet and assumes operation at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length; derating applies above that temperature.
Does the 1N5347B have a Pb-free option?
Yes, the 1N5347B is available in a Pb-free package denoted by the "G" suffix (e.g., 1N5347BG), compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The datasheet confirms Pb-free variants are offered for all 1N53xxB devices, with identical electrical and thermal specifications to leaded versions.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5347B and why does it matter?
The 1N5347B has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 125 Ω measured at IZT = 2 mA. This parameter directly affects regulation stiffness: lower ZZT means less output voltage variation under changing load current, making the 1N5347B suitable for applications requiring stable reference voltages despite current fluctuations.
Can the 1N5347B be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N5347B is exclusively an axial-lead device in CASE 017AA plastic package and is not available in SMT formats. Its mechanical outline specifies 1.000–1.250 inch lead length and 0.130–0.145 inch body diameter, confirming through-hole mounting only. For SMT alternatives, engineers must select other families such as MMBZ5240B or BZX84-C10.
