Product details
Overview
1N5350BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5.0 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 13 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 100 mA maximum Zener test current (IZT), 7.0 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ), and 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ) at IZT - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5350BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5350BE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5350BE3/TR13 application, or 1N5350BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under varying load current, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (7.0 A), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and JEDEC T-18 package compatibility with manual or wave soldering.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, with cathode indicated by a band and rated for continuous DC operation up to 100 mA at 25 °C lead temperature. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures minimal voltage deviation across 10–50% of IZM, and its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables stable regulation when mounted with ≥10 mm lead length from body.
The 1N5350BE3/TR13 meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020), withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 7.0 A, and exhibits <0.25 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) - critical for feedback accuracy in switching power supplies and analog reference circuits requiring tight DC stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V ±5% - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks and reference rails. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - supports high-current regulation with adequate heatsinking via leads. |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 100 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; sets minimum bias for stable regulation. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max at IZT - ensures <26 mV output variation per 10 mA load change near regulation point. |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V max - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM; quantifies line regulation fidelity. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 7.0 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper or chassis for power handling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: JEDEC T-18 axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), 0.7 g weight, cathode identified by color band. Leads are RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-bias reference terminal | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; forms reference return path in shunt regulator. |
| Cathode | Regulated output terminal | Banded end; connected to regulated rail; maintains 13 V relative to anode under reverse conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures standardized mechanical dimensions, marking, and test methodology across global supply chain. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies SMT/through-hole handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for special ESD handling during board assembly or field service. |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; tin-lead-free matte-tin plating compatible with Pb-free solder processes. |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 suffix) | Enables automated pick-and-place placement; EIA-296 compliant carrier tape for high-volume production. |
Applications
| Switching Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Protection 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5350B | No TR13 tape-and-reel; same electrical specs and T-18 package. | Requires manual loading or bulk feed; unsuitable for automated SMT lines. | Select 1N5350B only for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies. |
| MMSZ5242B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package (200 mW), 12 V nominal, ±5%, 20 mA IZT. | Limited power handling; not interchangeable for 5 W thermal loads or surge clamping. | Choose MMSZ5242B-TP only for space-constrained low-power bias/reference use - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with 1N5350BE3/TR13, the 1N5350B lacks tape-and-reel support but matches all electrical and thermal specs, while MMSZ5242B-TP offers footprint reduction at the cost of 96% lower power rating and incompatible mounting - making 1N5350BE3/TR13 irreplaceable for high-energy regulation or surge suppression.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5350BE3/TR13?
The 1N5350BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its actual regulation voltage falls within 12.35 V to 13.65 V at 100 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and TR13 denotes EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging - none of which affect the ±5% VZ tolerance specification defined in Microsemi's 1N5333B–1N5388B datasheet.
Can the 1N5350BE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5350BE3/TR13 uses a through-hole JEDEC T-18 axial-leaded package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5350B (DO-214AA) and SMBG5350B (DO-214AB) variants - both rated for 5 W but requiring different PCB footprints and reflow profiles. The 1N5350BE3/TR13 must be mounted with ≥10 mm lead length from body to achieve its specified 25 °C/W thermal resistance.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5350BE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5350BE3/TR13 has a steady-state power dissipation limit of 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient temperature. This derated value reflects its higher junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (85 °C/W) versus junction-to-lead (25 °C/W). Full 5.0 W operation requires direct lead-to-heatsink mounting at TL = 25 °C, as confirmed in Microsemi's Figure 1 derating curve.
Does the 1N5350BE3/TR13 meet MIL-PRF-19500 screening standards?
The base 1N5350BE3/TR13 does not include military screening; it is a commercial-grade part with RoHS compliance (e3) and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13). To obtain JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV versions, a prefix must be added: MQ1N5350BE3/TR13 (JAN), MX1N5350BE3/TR13 (JANTX), or MV1N5350BE3/TR13 (JANTXV). These prefixes activate MIL-PRF-19500 testing but require separate ordering and qualification documentation.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5350BE3/TR13 at 10.4 V?
At VR = 10.4 V (80% of nominal 13 V Zener voltage), the 1N5350BE3/TR13 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA. This value is consistent across all B-suffix parts in the 1N5333B–1N5388B family and is measured per JEDEC test conditions. Low IR at sub-VZ voltages ensures minimal quiescent current draw in monitoring or threshold-detection applications where the device remains below conduction threshold.
