Product details
Overview
1N5352/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 15 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 75 mA test current (IZT), 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 6.3 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5352/TR8 datasheet, 1N5352/TR8 pinout, 1N5352/TR8 application, or 1N5352/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (75 A), reverse leakage performance at 10.8 V (≤1.0 µA), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, with cathode indicated by a band and rated for continuous DC power dissipation of 5.0 W at 25 °C lead temperature (TL). Its low thermal resistance enables stable regulation under high-current transient conditions when mounted with ≥10 mm lead length from body.
The 1N5352/TR8 exhibits minimal voltage drift across operating current (ΔVZ = 6.3 V between 10% and 50% IZM), tight dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω at 75 mA), and robust surge capability (75 A half-sine, 8.3 ms) - confirming suitability for industrial power rail stabilization and ESD-hardened reference design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±5% - defines precise clamping threshold for 12–15 V supply rails. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; sets minimum bias for stable regulation. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - ensures <150 mV output variation per 60 mA load change near IZT. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 10.8 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby-mode references. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 75 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands common AC line transients and inductive kickback. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - requires ≥10 mm lead length for full 5 W derating to ambient. |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine bays and industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode identified by color band; leads plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system GND or lowest potential; forms return path for Zener current. |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to voltage rail being stabilized; reverse-biased during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and standardized test methodology per JESD24. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies SMT reflow handling and reduces BOM prep overhead. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for special ESD handling in assembly. |
| Tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ) | 6.3 V max difference between 10% and 50% of IZM - enables stable reference under varying load. |
| High surge current rating | 75 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - protects downstream circuitry from repetitive switching transients. |
Applications
| DC Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Protection Circuit |

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 TR8 tape-and-reel suffix; bulk packaging only; identical electrical specs and T-18 package. | Not suitable for automated pick-and-place; requires manual loading or tube-to-tape conversion. | Select 1N5352/TR8 for SMT production lines requiring EIA-296 compliant tape feed. |
| MMBZ5245B | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 15 V ±5%, but lower 0.5 W power rating and 100 mA IZM. | Limited to low-power signal-level references; cannot replace 1N5352/TR8 in 5 W power rail roles. | Choose MMBZ5245B only for space-constrained PCBs where <500 mW dissipation suffices. |
Compared with 1N5352B and MMBZ5245B, the 1N5352/TR8 uniquely combines JEDEC-standard axial packaging, 5 W power handling, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel delivery - making it the sole option for high-reliability through-hole or mixed-technology power regulation requiring automated assembly and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5352/TR8?
The 1N5352/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with ±5% tolerance, confirmed by the "B" suffix per Microsemi's datasheet. This means the actual VZ falls between 14.25 V and 15.75 V at 75 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N5352/TR8 maintains this tolerance across its full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Does the 1N5352/TR8 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N5352/TR8 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow. Its void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation and matte-tin plating ensure reliable solderability at 260 °C for 10 seconds without moisture-related popcorning.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5352/TR8 on a standard PCB?
When mounted on an FR4 board with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N5352/TR8 delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25 °C ambient - derived from its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Full 5 W operation requires heat sinking at the lead (25 °C/W junction-to-lead) with ≥10 mm lead length from the body.
How is polarity marked on the 1N5352/TR8?
The 1N5352/TR8 uses a single color band to indicate the cathode terminal, consistent with industry-standard diode marking. During operation, the banded (cathode) end must be held at a higher potential than the anode to achieve reverse-bias Zener conduction. Incorrect polarity results in forward conduction (~1.2 V drop) and loss of regulation.
Is the 1N5352/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5352/TR8 carries the "e3" suffix in its full manufacturer designation (1N5352B e3), confirming RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Its leads feature annealed matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead alloy, and its thermosetting epoxy body meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements without halogenated flame retardants.
