Product details
Overview
1N5351BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 14.0 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 100 Ω at 2.5 mA test current, and surge rating of 75 A at 8.3 ms. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5351BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, polarity marking, Pb-free package compliance, and real-world design context for stable DC voltage reference implementation.
Technical Context
The 1N5351BG employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction for improved stability and low leakage. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2.5 mA with guaranteed regulation across 13.3 V (min) to 14.7 V (max), and it maintains tight impedance control (ZZT ≤ 100 Ω) under that condition.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) and derating above 25 °C (40 mW/°C). The device supports surge currents up to 75 A for non-repetitive 8.3 ms pulses and exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +10.6 mV/°C near its nominal voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.0 V nominal, 13.3–14.7 V range at IZT = 2.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5 W at TL = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤100 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under load transients |
| Surge Current (IR) | 75 A peak at 8.3 ms - enables robust transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 mA at VR = 10.6 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +200 °C - supports industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides built-in ESD resilience during board handling and assembly |

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 | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; not RoHS-compliant | Restricted to legacy non-RoHS production; incompatible with Pb-free soldering processes | Select only if exempt from RoHS or using SnPb assembly |
| MMSZ5241B | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 14 V nominal, 500 mW rating; higher ZZT (20 Ω @ 20 mA) | Lower power, smaller footprint; unsuitable for >500 mW continuous dissipation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 5 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5351B, the 1N5351BG offers identical regulation performance with Pb-free compliance; versus MMSZ5241B, it delivers 10× higher power handling and lower impedance at rated current but requires axial through-hole mounting.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N5351BG?
The 1N5351BG has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, verified at IZT = 2.5 mA with 40 ±10 ms current application per onsemi datasheet Rev. 19. Its specified range is 13.3 V (min) to 14.7 V (max), with 14.0 V as the nominal value. This tolerance applies strictly under DC test conditions at TA = 25 °C and lead length ≤3/8 inch.
Does 1N5351BG support high-temperature operation beyond 150 °C?
Yes, the 1N5351BG is rated for operating temperatures from −65 °C to +200 °C. Its maximum DC operating temperature is 150 °C, but it can withstand pulsed conditions up to 200 °C with low duty cycle or non-repetitive stress, as confirmed in Note 1 of the onsemi datasheet.
How does the thermal derating of 1N5351BG work above 25 °C?
The 1N5351BG derates linearly at 40 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient (TL). At 75 °C lead temperature, its usable power drops to 3 W (5 W − 40 mW/°C × 50 °C). Derating is based on junction-to-lead thermal resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) and assumes 3/8-inch lead length to heatsink per datasheet Figure 1.
Is the cathode polarity clearly marked on 1N5351BG?
Yes, the cathode of the 1N5351BG is unambiguously indicated by a single color band on the plastic body, consistent with JEDEC axial-diode marking standards. This band must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in reverse-bias regulation applications to ensure proper zener breakdown operation.
Can 1N5351BG replace older 1N5351B in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N5351BG is a direct drop-in replacement for 1N5351B with identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor. The only difference is the Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) termination; no layout or schematic changes are required, and soldering profiles should follow J-STD-020 for Pb-free processes.
