Product details
Overview
1N5350B/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 13 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 100 mA maximum regulator current (IZM), 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 0.25 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5350B/TR12 datasheet, 1N5350B/TR12 pinout, 1N5350B/TR12 application, or 1N5350B/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (7.0 A), reverse leakage at 9.4 V (1.0 µA), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across wide current (100 mA max IZM) and temperature (-65 °C to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) and tight ΔVZ (0.25 V) ensure minimal voltage drift under varying load conditions.
Designed for through-hole mounting with T-18 axial package, it features moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required), UL94V-0 epoxy case, and cathode band polarity marking. Thermal performance is specified at 3/8" lead length (25 °C/W) or FR4 board mount (85 °C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V ±5% - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 100 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - low AC resistance ensures minimal voltage variation with current changes |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 100 mA - maximum continuous DC current before thermal derating applies |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V max - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 7.0 A - peak non-repetitive half-sine (8.3 ms) capability for transient suppression |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 µA max at VR = 9.4 V - low off-state current preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case (UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by colored band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | 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 feedback paths |
| 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Supports 5 W dissipation with minimal heatsinking when leads are trimmed to 3/8" length |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for special handling during assembly in standard environments |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets environmental compliance without sacrificing electrical or thermal performance |

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 (bulk) | Identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging (TR12 = tape-and-reel, bulk has no reel) | No functional difference; TR12 enables automated SMT placement, bulk supports manual/hand-soldered prototyping | Select 1N5350B/TR12 for production lines using pick-and-place; choose bulk for lab evaluation or low-volume assembly |
| MMBZ5243B (SOT-23) | Same 13 V ±5%, but 0.35 W power rating, 300 mW max, surface-mount only | Not suitable for 5 W dissipation; limited to low-power bias/reference roles, not primary regulation | Use MMBZ5243B only where space-constrained PCB layout prohibits axial components and power demand ≤350 mW |
Compared with 1N5350B/TR12, the bulk version offers identical performance with manual handling convenience, while MMBZ5243B trades power capability for miniaturization-making 1N5350B/TR12 the sole choice for 5 W axial Zener regulation in industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5350B/TR12?
The 1N5350B/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 13 V regulation point falls within 12.35 V to 13.65 V at 25 °C when tested at 100 mA. The tolerance remains stable across its full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C, supporting reliable performance in industrial and automotive environments where thermal cycling occurs.
How much power can the 1N5350B/TR12 dissipate continuously?
The 1N5350B/TR12 is rated for 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature (TL), provided leads are trimmed to 3/8" (10 mm) length from the body. When mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and specified pad geometry, its derated power drops to 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient (TA). Derating curves in the official datasheet define linear reduction above 25 °C, making thermal design critical for sustained 5 W operation.
What does the "TR12" suffix mean in 1N5350B/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12,000 units per reel. This format enables automated surface-mount or through-hole placement in high-volume manufacturing. The underlying electrical and thermal specifications of the 1N5350B/TR12 are identical to the bulk-packaged 1N5350B; only the packaging method and logistics configuration differ-no performance or reliability impact is introduced by the TR12 designation.
Is the 1N5350B/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5350B/TR12 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in Microsemi's official documentation and packaging markings. Its leads use annealed matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Compliance is verified per JEDEC J-STD-609A, and the device carries no exemptions-making it suitable for export to regulated markets without additional certification burden.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5350B/TR12?
The 1N5350B/TR12 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA when tested at 9.4 V (VR), which is 72.3% of its nominal 13 V Zener voltage. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference or bias networks. The value is guaranteed across the full -65 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range and reflects worst-case behavior under specified test conditions per JEDEC standards.
