Product details
Overview
1N5352CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 15 V, ±2% tolerance, 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode optimized for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation. 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 1N5352CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5352CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5352CE3/TR13 application, or 1N5352CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight ±2% VZ tolerance, low 2.5 Ω Zener impedance at 75 mA test current, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and T-18 axial package suitable for through-hole PCB mounting with minimal thermal derating on FR4.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable 15 V output by conducting reverse current above its breakdown threshold. Its design supports high surge immunity (6.3 A IZSM, 8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits minimal voltage drift (ΔVZ = 0.25 V) between 10% and 50% of IZM.
Thermal performance is defined by 25 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance at 10 mm lead length and 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient on standard FR4 (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pad). Forward voltage is capped at 1.2 V @ 1.0 A, confirming robust conduction capability during transient forward bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±2% - precise regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight DC accuracy |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 5.0 W at TL < 25°C - enables high-current regulation without forced cooling when leads are heat-sunk |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; matches typical SMPS feedback divider currents |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 1.0 μA @ 10.8 V - guarantees negligible leakage below regulation threshold, critical for low-power standby modes |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V - difference between VZ measured at 7.5 mA and 37.5 mA, indicating stability across operating range |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.3 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands common AC line surges and inductive kickback without degradation |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (Void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band; leads plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output node | Banded end; connected to regulated rail or error amplifier input; must be held >15 V relative to anode to activate regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 (J-STD-020B) | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints, simplifying SMT and manual assembly logistics |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Enables handling without special grounding protocols in standard production environments |
| High surge current rating (6.3 A) | Provides inherent transient overvoltage clamping without external TVS devices in industrial power inputs |
| e3 RoHS-compliant plating | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing solderability or long-term reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5352B | ±5% VZ tolerance, same 15 V nominal, identical package and IZM | Lower accuracy acceptable in non-critical biasing or coarse overvoltage detection | Select when ±5% regulation suffices and cost is prioritized over precision |
| MMBZ5245BS-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 15 V ±5%, 250 mW Pd, 100 mA IZM | Designed for space-constrained PCBs; unsuitable for 5 W continuous dissipation | Choose only for low-power signal-level referencing where board area is critical |
Compared with 1N5352B and MMBZ5245BS-7-F, the 1N5352CE3/TR13 uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 5 W power handling, and axial T-18 packaging-making it the sole option for high-accuracy, high-energy shunt regulation in through-hole industrial power designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5352CE3/TR13?
The 1N5352CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls within 14.7 V to 15.3 V at 75 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision regulation tasks where ±5% variants like the 1N5352B would introduce unacceptable error margins in feedback paths or reference circuits.
Can the 1N5352CE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5352CE3/TR13 uses a T-18 axial-leaded package and is designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5352B (DO-214AA) and SMBG5352B (DO-214AB) variants, but these differ in thermal performance, surge rating, and footprint. The 1N5352CE3/TR13 itself requires axial insertion and lead forming for PCB assembly.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5352CE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 board?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5352CE3/TR13 has a steady-state power dissipation limit of 1.47 W at 25°C ambient temperature. This is derived from its 85°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Exceeding this requires either enhanced copper area, heatsinking, or derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Does the 1N5352CE3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N5352CE3/TR13 explicitly indicates RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Its leads are plated with annealed matte tin (no lead or cadmium), and its void-free epoxy body meets UL94V-0 flammability standards. This makes the 1N5352CE3/TR13 suitable for export to EU, China, and other RoHS-regulated markets without additional compliance documentation.
How does the voltage regulation (ΔVZ) specification impact circuit performance for the 1N5352CE3/TR13?
The 1N5352CE3/TR13 specifies ΔVZ = 0.25 V-the difference between its Zener voltage measured at 10% (7.5 mA) and 50% (37.5 mA) of maximum Zener current. This low value confirms minimal voltage shift across its usable current range, directly improving regulation stability in variable-load applications such as unregulated DC-DC converter outputs or sensor excitation rails where current draw fluctuates significantly.
