Product details
Overview
1N5348BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 11 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 125 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 0.25 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ). It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5348BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5348BE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5348BE3/TR13 application, or 1N5348BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (8.0 A), reverse leakage at VR = 8.0 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 125 mA test current (IZT) and measured at 25 °C lead temperature (TL), with voltage regulation defined as the difference between voltages at 10% and 50% of IZM.
It features low thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead at 10 mm lead length), moisture sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020B (no dry pack required), and cathode polarity indicated by a band. The T-18 package supports axial mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper and defined pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V ±5% - stable regulation point under 125 mA DC bias at 25 °C TL |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires heat sinking beyond 3/8″ lead length for full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage shift across load current changes |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 5.0 µA at VR = 8.0 V - low leakage preserves regulation accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V - difference between VZ at 12.5 mA and 62.5 mA confirms tight line regulation |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 8.0 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overloads without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable thermal design with standard lead-mounting practice |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (void-free thermosetting epoxy, UL94V-0 rated), 0.7 g weight, cathode identified by color 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 / reference ground node | Connected to lower-potential side in Zener regulation; forward voltage ≤1.2 V @ 1.0 A |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; must be held positive relative to anode to maintain regulation; marked "1N5348BE3/TR13" on body |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener series | Ensures standardized electrical behavior and interchangeability across qualified suppliers |
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Enables tighter regulation than ±10% (A) or ±20% (no suffix) variants in cost-sensitive designs |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints during assembly |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for ESD-protective packaging in logistics |
| RoHS-compliant e3 suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with matte-tin plating and halogen-free epoxy encapsulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5348B (non-e3, non-TR) | Same electrical specs, but lead finish is SnPb (not RoHS-compliant); no tape-and-reel packaging | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires manual placement or bulk feeders | Select 1N5348BE3/TR13 when RoHS compliance and automated SMT placement are required |
| MMSZ5242B-TP (Micro Commercial Components) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 11 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; higher ZZ (9 Ω), lower IZM (20 mA) | Limited to low-power signal-level regulation; unsuitable for 5 W dissipation or high-surge environments | Select 1N5348BE3/TR13 for through-hole mounting, 5 W thermal handling, or 8.0 A surge immunity |
Compared with 1N5348B and MMSZ5242B-TP, the 1N5348BE3/TR13 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, tape-and-reel delivery, 5 W power handling, and 8.0 A surge capability in an axial T-18 package-making it optimal for industrial power supply and ruggedized clamp applications where thermal margin and assembly automation matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5348BE3/TR13?
The 1N5348BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 11 V regulation voltage falls within 10.45 V to 11.55 V at 125 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and TR13 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Can the 1N5348BE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N5348BE3/TR13 uses a T-18 axial-leaded package and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5348B (DO-214AA) and SMBG5348B (DO-214AB), which share identical electrical specifications but require different board layout and reflow profiles.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5348BE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N5348BE3/TR13 delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25 °C ambient-derived from its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Full 5 W operation requires lead temperature control below 25 °C, typically via heatsinking at 10 mm from the body.
Does the 1N5348BE3/TR13 meet moisture sensitivity requirements for standard PCB assembly?
Yes-the 1N5348BE3/TR13 is rated IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning it has no floor-life limitation and requires no dry-packaging or baking prior to reflow or wave soldering. This simplifies inventory handling and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risks during assembly.
How does the voltage regulation (ΔVZ) specification impact circuit design with the 1N5348BE3/TR13?
The 1N5348BE3/TR13 specifies ΔVZ = 0.25 V-the difference between Zener voltage measured at 10% and 50% of its 125 mA maximum current (i.e., 12.5 mA vs. 62.5 mA). This quantifies its line regulation performance, allowing designers to predict worst-case output variation across expected load current ranges without additional compensation.
