Product details
Overview
1N5350E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5.0 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 13 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 100 mA maximum regulator current (IZM), 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 0.25 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ). It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5350E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5350E3/TR13 pinout, 1N5350E3/TR13 application, or 1N5350E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (7.0 A), reverse leakage performance at 9.4 V (≤1.0 µA), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference, conducting in reverse breakdown when cathode voltage exceeds anode by ≥13 V. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures stable regulation across 10–50% of IZM (10–50 mA), and its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W operation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
Designed for DC voltage stabilization, it exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current (ΔVZ = 0.25 V) and withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 7.0 A. Polarity is marked by cathode band; operation requires banded end positive relative to anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Test Current (IZT) | 100 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - low AC resistance ensures tight voltage control under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 100 mA - maximum continuous DC current at 25 °C with adequate heatsinking |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V max - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating line regulation quality |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 7.0 A peak - handles 8.3 ms non-repetitive surges without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables full 5 W dissipation with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by colored band, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, weight 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal negative relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; supplies stable 13 V to feedback divider or clamp circuit; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Complies with industry-standard 1N53xxB series mechanical and electrical definitions |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - robust against electrostatic discharge during handling |
| High surge current capability | 7.0 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - protects downstream circuitry from transient overvoltage events |
| RoHS compliant (e3 suffix) | Lead-free matte-tin plating meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and J-STD-609A Class 1 |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp Circuit |

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 | Same 13 V, ±5%, 5 W rating but with SnPb plating and no e3 RoHS designation | Not suitable for lead-free manufacturing; otherwise identical electrical behavior and thermal specs | Select 1N5350B only if legacy SnPb assembly process is mandated and RoHS compliance is not required |
| MMSZ5242B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 12.5 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW - lower power, different form factor | Used where board space is constrained and thermal budget is lower; not drop-in replacement due to package and power rating | Choose MMSZ5242B-TP only for compact PCB layouts accepting reduced power handling and different mounting method |
Compared with 1N5350B and MMSZ5242B-TP, the 1N5350E3/TR13 offers RoHS compliance, axial-leaded through-hole mounting for high-reliability mechanical retention, and full 5 W dissipation capability - making it optimal for industrial power supplies requiring long-term thermal stability and repairability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5350E3/TR13?
The 1N5350E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix variant in the 1N53xxB family. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC registration and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance but does not alter voltage specification.
Can the 1N5350E3/TR13 replace the 1N5350B in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N5350E3/TR13 is a direct functional and mechanical replacement for the 1N5350B, sharing identical electrical specifications (13 V, ±5%, 5 W, 100 mA IZM), T-18 package, and axial-leaded configuration. The only difference is RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3) versus legacy SnPb plating on the 1N5350B - requiring requalification only for lead-free soldering profiles.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5350E3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu) with 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm × 25 mm trace, the 1N5350E3/TR13 has a steady-state power rating of 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient. This derates linearly above 25 °C per the 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance specified in the datasheet.
Does the 1N5350E3/TR13 meet moisture sensitivity requirements without dry packing?
Yes, the 1N5350E3/TR13 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry pack or baking. This eliminates pre-assembly moisture mitigation steps and reduces handling cost in high-volume manufacturing.
What surge current rating does the 1N5350E3/TR13 support?
The 1N5350E3/TR13 supports a peak non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 7.0 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per JEDEC test conditions and enables reliable transient suppression in power rails subject to inductive switching spikes or lightning-induced surges.
