Product details
Overview
1N5351B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 14 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 100 Ω at 2.5 mA test current, and surge rating of 340 A at 8.3 ms. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C and delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5351B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a high-reliability, Pb-free discrete voltage reference with ESD immunity >16 kV (HBM), tight ±5% tolerance, and validated thermal performance in axial plastic packages.
Technical Context
The 1N5351B employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction for enhanced stability and low leakage. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2.5 mA with guaranteed min/typ/max values of 13.3 V / 14 V / 14.7 V and temperature coefficient of +6.7 mV/°C.
It supports DC regulation up to 75 mA maximum zener current (IZM), limited by its 5 W power rating and 14 V nominal VZ. The device exhibits 100 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT and <1 μA reverse leakage at VR = 10.6 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5351 | Same electrical specs but ±10% tolerance (vs. ±5% for 1N5351B); no "B" suffix indicates looser grading | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; not suitable for 14 V reference requiring tight regulation | Select 1N5351B when ±5% VZ stability is mandatory; choose 1N5351 only for non-critical clamping |
| MMSZ5241B | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 14 V nominal but 500 mW rating (vs. 5 W); 20 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Used in space-constrained PCBs; unsuitable for >100 mA surge or >0.5 W continuous dissipation | Choose MMSZ5241B for compact consumer electronics; retain 1N5351B for high-power industrial or automotive roles |
Compared with 1N5351 and MMSZ5241B, the 1N5351B uniquely combines 5 W power handling, ±5% tolerance, and axial-leaded ruggedness-making it irreplaceable in high-surge, high-temperature, or high-reliability 14 V regulation tasks where SMT alternatives lack thermal mass or through-hole variants lack precision.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5351B?
The 1N5351B has a guaranteed ±5% zener voltage tolerance, meaning its reverse breakdown voltage falls between 13.3 V and 14.7 V at IZT = 2.5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tighter tolerance than standard 1N5351 (±10%) makes the 1N5351B suitable for precision reference applications where regulation accuracy is critical. The "B" suffix explicitly denotes this graded tolerance per JEDEC standards.
Can the 1N5351B be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5351B is an axial-lead through-hole device in Case 017AA plastic package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly processes. For SMT equivalents, consider the MMSZ5241B (SOD-123, 14 V, 500 mW) or BZX84-C15 (SOT-23, 15 V, 300 mW), though neither matches the 1N5351B's 5 W power rating or surge capability. The 1N5351B requires wave or hand soldering with lead temperature limited to 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum continuous zener current for the 1N5351B?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1N5351B is 75 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating divided by the nominal 14 V zener voltage (5 W ÷ 14 V ≈ 0.357 A), then adjusted per datasheet Table 3 to reflect worst-case VZmax = 14.7 V (5 W ÷ 14.7 V ≈ 340 mA), but constrained by thermal limits to 75 mA at TL = 25°C. Exceeding this current risks thermal runaway or parametric shift.
Does the 1N5351B meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N5351B is offered in a Pb-free package (indicated by the "G" suffix in ordering codes like 1N5351BG), compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements. The device uses lead-free solderable terminations and void-free thermosetting plastic encapsulation, verified per onsemi's Pb-Free Packaging Specification.
How does the 1N5351B handle transient overvoltage events?
The 1N5351B sustains up to 340 A peak non-repetitive surge current at 8.3 ms pulse width, corresponding to 180 W instantaneous power. This capability is validated per Figure 5 in the datasheet and enables direct use in automotive load-dump protection without additional TVS devices. Its 200°C max storage temperature and silicon-oxide passivation ensure reliability under repeated transient stress.
