Product details
Overview
1N5351BE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a silicon 5 W axial-leaded Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 14 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 100 mA test current, 100 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), and 0.25 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) across 10–50% IZM. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5351BE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5351BE3/TR12 pinout, 1N5351BE3/TR12 application, or 1N5351BE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (6.7 A), low knee impedance (430 Ω at 1 mA), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage reference by maintaining stable reverse-bias conduction above its 14 V breakdown threshold, with minimal voltage variation (≤0.25 V) between 10% and 50% of its 100 mA rated Zener current. Its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation when leads are mounted ≥10 mm from body.
The 1N5351BE3/TR12 exhibits 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 100 mA, 430 Ω knee impedance at 1 mA, and withstands 6.7 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge current. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14 V ±5% - precise DC reference for feedback loops and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - requires ≥10 mm lead length from body for full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max @ IZT = 100 mA - ensures tight regulation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 1.0 μA @ VR = 10.1 V - low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.7 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles transient overvoltage without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables direct heat sinking via PCB traces or chassis mounting |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V max - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5351B (non-e3) | Same electrical specs but SnPb-plated leads; not RoHS-compliant | Restricted to legacy industrial or military programs allowing Pb | Select only if RoHS exemption applies and tin-lead solder process is used |
| SMBJ5351B | Surface-mount SMB package; identical 14 V ±5%, 5 W rating, but 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient | Requires PCB layout change; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-power heatsinking | Choose for automated assembly where board space is constrained and thermal management uses copper pour |
Compared with 1N5351BE3/TR12, the 1N5351B lacks RoHS compliance and requires Pb-based solder, while SMBJ5351B trades axial-leaded serviceability and superior thermal resistance (25 vs. 100 °C/W) for surface-mount compatibility - neither is pin-compatible due to differing form factors.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5351BE3/TR12?
The 1N5351BE3/TR12 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's datasheet. This means its nominal 14 V regulation falls within 13.3 V to 14.7 V at 25 °C with 100 mA test current. The e3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Can the 1N5351BE3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5351BE3/TR12 is an axial-leaded T-18 package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi specifies SMBJ5351B (SMB package) or SMBG5351B (SMBG package). These share identical electrical specs but require different PCB footprints and thermal design due to higher junction-to-ambient resistance.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5351BE3/TR12 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm trace, the 1N5351BE3/TR12 delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25 °C ambient - derived from its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Full 5 W operation requires lead temperature control at ≤25 °C, achieved via ≥10 mm lead length from body.
Does the 1N5351BE3/TR12 meet MIL-PRF-19500 screening requirements?
No - the 1N5351BE3/TR12 carries no prefix (e.g., MQ, MX, MV) indicating MIL-PRF-19500 screening. It is a commercial-grade part. For JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV versions, Microsemi specifies prefixes added to the base number (e.g., MQ1N5351B), which undergo additional environmental and reliability testing beyond standard JEDEC requirements.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5351BE3/TR12?
The 1N5351BE3/TR12 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA when tested at 10.1 V - the specified VR for B-suffix devices. This low leakage ensures minimal error in high-impedance reference circuits and supports stable operation in battery-powered or low-power sensor interfaces.
