Product details
Overview
1N5351CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 14 V, ±2% tolerance, 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with 100 mA maximum regulator current (IZM), 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 0.25 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5351CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5351CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5351CE3/TR13 application, or 1N5351CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (6.7 A), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse-bias operation where the banded end is positive relative to the anode. It delivers stable regulation across 10%–50% of IZM (10–50 mA) with minimal ΔVZ drift and maintains performance from –65 °C to +150 °C.
Its T-18 axial package enables through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper; thermal design must account for 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance under standard board conditions and 25 °C/W when lead length is 10 mm from body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.0 V ±2% at 100 mA test current - ensures tight reference accuracy for feedback sensing in regulated DC-DC converters. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at 25 °C lead temperature - requires heat sinking beyond 25 °C ambient or lead-length derating per Figure 1. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω at 100 mA - low AC impedance minimizes output voltage ripple under varying load currents. |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V between 10% and 50% of IZM - quantifies stability across operating current range for precision references. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.7 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 μA max at 11.5 V - ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - defines minimum heatsink requirement for continuous 5 W operation. |
Pinout & Package
T-18 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by colored band; leads are annealed matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), weight 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink terminal in reverse bias | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path) during Zener operation. |
| Cathode | Current source terminal in reverse bias | Banded end; connected to higher-potential node (e.g., supply rail or feedback divider top) - polarity critical for regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables tighter feedback loop control vs. ±5% (B) or ±10% (A) variants, reducing output voltage error in precision supplies. |
| JEDEC-registered 1N53xxB series | Guarantees standardized electrical behavior, mechanical dimensions, and test methodology across qualified suppliers. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints - simplifies SMT line handling and storage logistics. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces need for special ESD handling during assembly and testing in industrial environments. |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II requirements without lead content or exemptions. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulates output voltage in isolated flyback or forward converter feedback circuits using optocoupler-coupled TL431 replacement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 14 V reference providing stable setpoint for error amplifier comparison.

Use Scenario: Provides stable excitation voltage for ratiometric bridge sensors (e.g., strain gauges) in data acquisition modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift, low-noise Zener reference replacing higher-cost IC references where 14 V matches sensor full-scale range. Use Value: 0.25 V ΔVZ ensures excitation stability across 10–50 mA load variation, minimizing measurement offset error. | Use Scenario: Supplies constant 14 V bias to analog front-end circuitry in programmable logic controller (PLC) input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference for ADC reference buffers and op-amp bias networks. Use Value: 2.5 Ω ZZ prevents loading-induced reference droop under dynamic analog signal conditioning loads. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5351B | Same 14 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) and no e3 RoHS marking | Acceptable where tighter tolerance not required; not suitable for RoHS-mandated designs | Select only if legacy compliance or cost sensitivity outweighs precision and environmental requirements. |
| MMSZ5241ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 14 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 17 Ω ZZ | Limited to low-power applications; unsuitable for 5 W continuous dissipation or surge clamping | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where power and surge demands are ≤0.5 W and ≤1 A. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5351CE3/TR13?
The 1N5351CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured VZ falls within 13.72 V to 14.28 V at 100 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature - critical for applications requiring tighter regulation than the ±5% 1N5351B variant.
Does the 1N5351CE3/TR13 require dry packing or moisture barrier bags?
No, the 1N5351CE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry pack, baking, or floor-life controls before soldering - simplifying inventory handling and reflow processes.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5351CE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5351CE3/TR13 is rated for 1.47 W steady-state power at 25 °C ambient - significantly derated from its 5 W lead-temperature rating due to higher junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (85 °C/W).
Can the 1N5351CE3/TR13 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5351B in existing designs?
The 1N5351CE3/TR13 shares identical electrical characteristics, package (T-18), and pinout with the 1N5351B, differing only in tighter ±2% tolerance and RoHS-compliant plating. It can replace the 1N5351B where enhanced accuracy or environmental compliance is needed - no layout changes required.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N5351CE3/TR13 and how is it defined?
The 1N5351CE3/TR13 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 6.7 A, specified as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform - matching common automotive and industrial transient test standards such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 2a.
