Product details
Overview
1N5350E3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 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/TR8 datasheet, 1N5350E3/TR8 pinout, 1N5350E3/TR8 application, or 1N5350E3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (7.0 A), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8 suffix) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
The 1N5350E3/TR8 functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its regulation performance is defined at 100 mA test current (IZT), with low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensuring minimal voltage shift across load variations, and tight ΔVZ (0.25 V) confirming stable regulation between 10% and 50% of IZM.
It features a void-free thermosetting epoxy T-18 package with tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required), and polarity indicated by cathode band. The device sustains 7.0 A non-recurrent 8.3 ms half-sine surge current and exhibits forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 1.0 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at 25 °C lead temperature - requires heat sinking above 25 °C per derating curve |
| Test Current (IZT) | 100 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - ensures <0.25 V output variation under 100 mA load change |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 7.0 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overloads without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables thermal design with discrete heatsinking |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (JEDEC DO-204AL), cathode identified by color band. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte tin, 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 in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Banded end; connected to regulated voltage rail - must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant construction | e3 suffix confirms lead-free plating and halogen-free epoxy per EU Directive 2011/65/EU |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | TR8 suffix denotes EIA-296 standard reel (8 mm tape, 1000 pcs/reel) for SMT placement compatibility |
| Low voltage regulation drift | ΔVZ = 0.25 V max ensures stable reference across 10–50% of IZM, critical for closed-loop control |
| ESD robustness | Nonsensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - no special handling required during assembly |
| Moisture sensitivity | Level 1 per J-STD-020B - eliminates baking requirement before reflow |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|

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 without e3 RoHS or TR8 tape-and-reel packaging | Requires manual placement or non-standard reels; not compliant with modern environmental directives | Select 1N5350E3/TR8 when RoHS compliance and automated assembly are mandatory |
| SMBJ5350B | Surface-mount SMB package, identical electrical specs, but 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient vs. 25 °C/W junction-to-lead | Limited to lower-power PCB layouts without discrete heatsinking; unsuitable for high-current shunt operation | Choose SMBJ5350B only for space-constrained designs where thermal management relies on board copper, not lead conduction |
Compared with 1N5350B and SMBJ5350B, the 1N5350E3/TR8 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, tape-and-reel automation readiness, and superior thermal performance via axial lead conduction - making it optimal for high-reliability, high-volume industrial power supplies requiring long-term component continuity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5350E3/TR8?
The 1N5350E3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix in the 1N53xxB family. This means its actual regulation voltage falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V at 100 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, as verified in the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table.
Does the 1N5350E3/TR8 require dry-packaging or baking before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N5350E3/TR8 has moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without desiccant or baking. Its void-free epoxy encapsulation and Level 1 rating eliminate pre-reflow bake cycles, simplifying manufacturing flow.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5350E3/TR8?
The 1N5350E3/TR8 is rated for 7.0 A peak non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) using an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating applies under proper mounting conditions and enables reliable operation during load-dump transients in automotive and industrial power systems.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5350E3/TR8 impact heatsink design?
The 1N5350E3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length. This allows direct conduction of heat through the leads to an external heatsink or chassis, enabling >3 W continuous dissipation with modest heatsinking - unlike surface-mount alternatives limited by board-conducted heat.
Is the 1N5350E3/TR8 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1N5350E3/TR8 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating and is rated for 260 °C for 10 seconds, fully supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020). Its e3 suffix explicitly certifies compliance with lead-free assembly requirements.
