Product details
Overview
1N5352BE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 15 V, ±5% tolerance, 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode optimized for voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and precision reference applications. It delivers 75 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at 25°C with 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) and operates across –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5352BE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5352BE3/TR8 pinout, 1N5352BE3/TR8 application, or 1N5352BE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15 V nominal Zener voltage, 5 W steady-state power rating at lead temperature <25°C, low 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 75 mA test current, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference by operating in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable output voltage across wide current (10–75 mA) and temperature (–65°C to +150°C) ranges. Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation with minimal heatsinking when leads are mounted 10 mm from body.
Designed for axial-lead through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs, it features UL94V-0 void-free epoxy encapsulation, cathode band polarity marking, and 0.7 g mass. The e3/TR8 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±5% - precise regulation point for feedback or clamping at nominal load |
| Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - defined operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω - low AC resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under varying load current |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 6.3 A - peak DC current capability with adequate heat sinking at TL < 25°C |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL < 25°C - sustained power handling without derating in lead-temperature-controlled environments |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1.0 μA @ 10.8 V - leakage threshold confirming stable regulation onset below VZ |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating tight regulation linearity |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (UL94V-0 epoxy), 0.7 g mass, cathode indicated by band. Leads are annealed matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750, solderable at 260°C for 10 s.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; held at stable 15 V relative to anode during breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Complies with industry-standard 1N53xxB mechanical and electrical definitions for interchangeability |
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Guarantees VZ between 14.25 V and 15.75 V at 75 mA, enabling predictable loop gain in feedback designs |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with matte-tin lead finish, eliminating lead-based solder compatibility concerns |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR8) | EIA-296 compliant format supporting automated SMT placement despite axial-lead form factor |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required prior to assembly-reduces handling cost and avoids moisture-related popcorning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5352BRLG | Same 15 V ±5%, 5 W rating but in bulk packaging (no TR8 tape/reel); identical electrical specs and T-18 package | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds where reel feeding is unnecessary | Select 1N5352BRLG when automated assembly is not required and cost-per-unit is prioritized over packaging convenience |
| MMBZ5245BS-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 15 V ±5%, 0.35 W power rating - not a drop-in replacement due to 14× lower power and different footprint | Suitable only for low-power signal-level references; cannot replace 1N5352BE3/TR8 in 5 W power regulation roles | Choose MMBZ5245BS-7-F only for space-constrained PCBs where thermal load is <350 mW and axial leads are prohibited |
Compared with 1N5352BE3/TR8, 1N5352BRLG offers identical performance in bulk form for non-automated use, while MMBZ5245BS-7-F provides surface-mount compatibility at the cost of 93% lower power handling-making it unsuitable for primary power rail regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5352BE3/TR8?
The 1N5352BE3/TR8 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 15 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 14.25 V and 15.75 V when measured at 75 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The e3/TR8 suffix does not affect tolerance-it only denotes RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging.
Can 1N5352BE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5352BE3/TR8 is an axial-leaded T-18 package intended for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with SMT reflow processes due to its lead geometry and thermal mass. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5352B or SMBG5352B in DO-214AA/DO-214AB packages-but those are distinct part numbers with different ratings and footprints.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N5352BE3/TR8?
The 1N5352BE3/TR8 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 6.3 A, specified as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with adequate copper area for thermal dissipation and is validated per JEDEC standards. It reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without failure during events like load dump or inductive switching.
How does thermal resistance impact 1N5352BE3/TR8 power handling?
The 1N5352BE3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W at 10 mm lead length, enabling full 5 W dissipation when lead temperature is maintained below 25°C. On FR4 boards with standard copper pads, junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 85 °C/W, limiting steady-state power to 1.47 W at 25°C ambient-so heatsinking or lead-length optimization is essential for high-power operation.
Is 1N5352BE3/TR8 suitable for precision reference applications?
Yes, the 1N5352BE3/TR8 supports precision reference use via its 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 75 mA and 0.25 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) across 10–50% of IZM. However, it lacks temperature coefficient specs in the provided datasheet-designers requiring <0.01%/°C drift should add external compensation or consider temperature-compensated references like the 1N821 series for metrology-grade stability.
