Product details
Overview
1N5352B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 15 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 75 Ω at 2.5 mA test current, 1 A maximum surge current at 8.3 ms, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 mA at 11.5 V. It operates from −65°C to +200°C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5352B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, mechanical package details, and real-world design context for stable DC voltage clamping and regulation tasks.
Technical Context
The 1N5352B implements a silicon-oxide passivated PN junction optimized for tight voltage tolerance (±5%) and low dynamic impedance. Its zener breakdown mechanism is designed for stable regulation under steady-state DC and short-duration surge conditions up to 180 W.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance of 25 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length, enabling predictable derating above 25°C. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 10 V - approximately +6.3 mV/°C at IZT - supporting predictable drift compensation in multi-device references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.25–15.75 V @ IZT = 2.5 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback sensing |
| Max Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TL = 25°C - sets absolute DC power limit before thermal shutdown risk |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 75 Ω max @ IZT = 2.5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Surge Current (IR) | 1 A peak @ 8.3 ms - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 mA @ VR = 11.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Temp Coefficient (θVZ) | +6.3 mV/°C @ IZT - enables predictable voltage drift modeling across operating range |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +200°C - allows deployment in automotive engine bays and industrial controls |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A | 14 V nominal, ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package | Lower power handling; unsuitable for >1 W continuous dissipation | Select only for low-power biasing where 15 V matching is secondary to cost and footprint |
| BZX85C15 | 15 V nominal, ±5%, 1.3 W rating, DO-41 package | Higher ZZT (up to 200 Ω), lower surge capability (0.5 A) | Acceptable for non-critical references but not for high-stability or surge-prone environments |
Compared with 1N5352B, the 1N4744A and BZX85C15 offer similar nominal voltage but lack its 5 W power rating, 1 A surge capacity, and 75 Ω low-impedance regulation - making 1N5352B essential for industrial-grade voltage references requiring thermal resilience and transient immunity.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N5352B?
The 1N5352B has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, specified as 14.25 V minimum to 15.75 V maximum at IZT = 2.5 mA, per JEDEC standard test conditions. This tolerance applies only to B-suffix devices and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +200°C. The 1N5352B datasheet confirms these values in Table 3 on page 3.
Can 1N5352B be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5352B is exclusively an axial-lead device in Case 017AA plastic package and is not compatible with SMT assembly. It requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal derating compliance. For SMT alternatives, consider onsemi's NSZ series or other manufacturer equivalents - but none match the 1N5352B's 5 W rating and 75 Ω ZZT in SMT form.
What is the maximum continuous DC current the 1N5352B can handle at room temperature?
At TL = 25°C, the 1N5352B supports a maximum DC zener current (IZM) of 75 mA, calculated as 5 W ÷ 15 V nominal. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the 1N5352B datasheet. Exceeding this current risks exceeding the 5 W power limit and thermal runaway.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of 1N5352B?
The 1N5352B exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +6.3 mV/°C at IZT, meaning its zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. This behavior is documented in Figure 3 of the 1N5352B datasheet and must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating beyond 25°C ambient.
Is the 1N5352B RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1N5352B is offered in a Pb-free package (indicated by the "G" suffix in ordering codes such as 1N5352BG), fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses lead-free solderable terminations and conforms to onsemi's Pb-Free Packaging Standard, as stated in the Mechanical Characteristics section of the 1N5352B datasheet.
