Product details
Overview
1N5352E3/TR13 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 1N5352E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5352E3/TR13 pinout, 1N5352E3/TR13 application, or 1N5352E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (6.3 A), reverse leakage (<1.0 µA at 10.8 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference where the cathode (banded end) is held positive relative to the anode. Regulation occurs via controlled reverse breakdown, with voltage stability maintained over 10–50% of IZM and across wide temperature extremes.
Its low 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables stable 5 W operation when leads are mounted ≥10 mm from body; on FR4 PCBs with defined copper pads, derated power drops to 1.47 W. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and TR13 denotes EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging (1,000 pcs/reel).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±5% at 75 mA test current - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at 25°C lead temperature - supports high-current regulation when adequately heat-sunk. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max at 75 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1.0 µA at 10.8 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.3 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation. |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables predictable thermal design in chassis-mounted or through-hole layouts. |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - suitable for industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (Void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), 0.7 g weight, cathode indicated by color band. Leads are annealed matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential side of circuit; reverse-biased during regulation. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference return path | Typically tied to system ground or lower-voltage rail; completes Zener conduction loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N53xxB series | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior enabling drop-in replacement across multiple suppliers. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Robust handling in standard manufacturing environments without special ESD controls. |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Lead-free matte-tin plating meets global environmental compliance requirements. |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR13) | EIA-296 compliant format supporting automated SMT placement despite axial form factor. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5352B | No e3 RoHS suffix; SnPb lead finish; same VZ, IZM, ZZ, and package. | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires Pb-containing solder process. | Select when legacy Pb-based assembly is mandated or cost sensitivity outweighs environmental compliance. |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 15 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 17 Ω ZZ; 100 nA IR. | Limited to low-power applications; unsuitable for 5 W continuous dissipation or surge handling. | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where power demand is ≤0.5 W and surge immunity is noncritical. |
Compared with 1N5352B and MMSZ5245B-TP, the 1N5352E3/TR13 uniquely combines full 5 W power capability, axial-leaded mechanical robustness, RoHS compliance, and industry-standard JEDEC registration-making it optimal for high-reliability, medium-power regulation where thermal management and regulatory compliance are both essential.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5352E3/TR13?
The 1N5352E3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, confirmed by its "B" suffix per Microsemi's documentation. This means its measured VZ falls between 14.25 V and 15.75 V at 75 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The e3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Can the 1N5352E3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
The 1N5352E3/TR13 is an axial-leaded T-18 package and is not a surface-mount device. While it ships in TR13 tape-and-reel format compatible with some automated feeders, physical mounting requires through-hole PCB holes and wave or selective soldering. For true SMT implementation, consider SMBJ5352B or MMSZ5245B-TP instead.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5352E3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu) with 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N5352E3/TR13 is rated for 1.47 W steady-state power at 25°C ambient, per Microsemi's thermal resistance specification of 85°C/W junction-to-ambient. Full 5 W operation requires lead temperature control at ≤25°C via chassis mounting or extended leads.
Does the 1N5352E3/TR13 meet moisture sensitivity requirements without dry packing?
Yes-the 1N5352E3/TR13 carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without dry pack or baking. This eliminates pre-assembly moisture mitigation steps and reduces handling complexity in manufacturing.
How does the 1N5352E3/TR13 handle transient overvoltage events?
The 1N5352E3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (IZSM) of 6.3 A for an 8.3 ms non-repetitive half-sine waveform. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) and robust thermal design allow it to clamp transients effectively while maintaining regulation within 0.25 V (ΔVZ) across its operating current range.
