Product details
Overview
1N5352E3/TR12 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), exhibits 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) at 100 mA test current, and operates across –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5352E3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5352E3/TR12 pinout, 1N5352E3/TR12 application, or 1N5352E3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15 V nominal Zener voltage with tight ±5% tolerance, 5 W steady-state power rating at lead temperature <25°C, low 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
The 1N5352E3/TR12 functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 15 V ±5% under 75 mA DC test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 1 kHz AC superimposed on IZT.
It features a thermal resistance of 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (at 10 mm lead length) and 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 PCB, enabling stable regulation up to 150°C junction temperature when adequately heat-sunk. The cathode is marked by a band, requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±5% - precise regulation point for feedback and clamping at nominal load |
| Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - defined operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω - low AC resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under varying load current |
| Max Zener 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 - supports high-current regulation without derating in lead-mounted configurations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 μA max at VR = 10.8 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.25 V - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating stability across operating range |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5352E3/TR12?
The 1N5352E3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its registered family designation (1N5352B). This tolerance applies at 25°C lead temperature with 75 mA test current, and is confirmed in Microsemi's official datasheet revision D (2008).
Does the 1N5352E3/TR12 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N5352E3/TR12 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, meaning it is safe for standard reflow profiles-including 260°C for 10 seconds-without prior baking or moisture barrier bag handling.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5352E3/TR12?
The 1N5352E3/TR12 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 18.7 A, specified as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in motor control and power supply applications without degradation.
How is polarity marked on the 1N5352E3/TR12?
The 1N5352E3/TR12 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be biased positive relative to the unmarked (anode) end. This marking is consistent across all 1N53xxB-series devices and is visible on the molded epoxy body.
What does the "TR12" suffix mean in 1N5352E3/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12 mm tape width and component orientation optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The "e3" denotes RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, making 1N5352E3/TR12 fully compliant with environmental directives.
