Product details
Overview
1N5350/TR8 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). It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5350/TR8 datasheet, 1N5350/TR8 pinout, 1N5350/TR8 application, or 1N5350/TR8 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 max), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin lead plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown, with Zener voltage specified at 100 mA test current (IZT) and measured at 25 °C lead temperature. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures stable regulation under varying load currents, and its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation when leads are mounted ≥10 mm from body.
The 1N5350/TR8 exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current-ΔVZ ≤ 0.25 V between 10% and 50% of IZM-and withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 7.0 A. Polarity is unambiguous: cathode indicated by band, requiring banded end to be positive relative to anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13 V ±5% at 100 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback and clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with adequate heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max at 100 mA - ensures low output impedance and tight voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 µA max at 9.4 V - guarantees minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 7.0 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable thermal design when leads serve as heat path |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for industrial, automotive, and aerospace environments with wide ambient swings |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 molded epoxy case (UL94V-0), 0.7 g weight, cathode identified by color band. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal negative relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to regulated rail or error amplifier input; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener series | Industry-standard 1N53xxB family ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and design reuse |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies SMT reflow prep and reduces handling overhead |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for special ESD handling in assembly |
| Tight voltage regulation | ΔVZ ≤ 0.25 V across 10–50% of IZM - delivers consistent reference accuracy in variable-load applications |
| High surge current capability | 7.0 A non-repetitive surge rating - provides robust transient immunity without external crowbar |
Applications

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 TR8 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo-pack only; identical electrical specs and T-18 package | Lacks standardized reel format for automated pick-and-place; same thermal and regulation performance | Select 1N5350B for manual prototyping or low-volume hand assembly where reel logistics are unnecessary |
| MMSZ5242B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package (2.5 × 1.2 mm); 13 V ±5%; lower IZM (190 mA vs. 100 mA); higher ZZ (9 Ω) | Enables high-density PCB layouts but requires thermal pad design; less stable regulation under dynamic loads | Choose MMSZ5242B-TP only when board space constraints prohibit axial-leaded components and thermal derating is acceptable |
Compared with 1N5350/TR8, the 1N5350B offers identical regulation performance without tape-and-reel convenience, while the MMSZ5242B-TP trades mechanical robustness and low-impedance regulation for miniaturization-making 1N5350/TR8 optimal for high-reliability, thermally demanding, through-hole power applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5350/TR8?
The 1N5350/TR8 carries a "B" suffix, indicating a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 100 mA test current. This yields a guaranteed regulation range of 12.35 V to 13.65 V at 25 °C lead temperature, as confirmed in the Microsemi 1N5333B–1N5388B datasheet revision D.
Does the 1N5350/TR8 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No-the 1N5350/TR8 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry pack or baking prior to reflow. Its void-free epoxy encapsulation prevents moisture ingress during standard SMT processes.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5350/TR8 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on 1 oz copper FR4 with 4 mm² pads and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N5350/TR8 is rated for 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient. This derates linearly above 25 °C at 11.8 mW/°C, per Figure 1 in the official datasheet.
Can the 1N5350/TR8 be used as a replacement for the 1N5350B?
Yes-the 1N5350/TR8 is functionally and electrically identical to the 1N5350B, differing only in packaging: TR8 denotes EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel (8 mm carrier, 2000 pcs/reel), whereas 1N5350B is supplied in bulk or ammo pack. No circuit or layout changes are needed.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5350/TR8 at its rated Zener voltage?
The 1N5350/TR8 specifies maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at 9.4 V (70% of nominal 13 V), per the "IR TEST VOLTAGE (B,C,D Suffix)" column in the Electrical Characteristics table. At full 13 V, leakage remains well below 5 µA.
