Product details
Overview
1N5353B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 16 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 75 Ω at 2.5 mA test current, 295 mA maximum DC zener current, and 6.0 V reverse leakage current limit at 12.2 V. It operates in power supply voltage regulation and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5353B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ±5% tolerance, 75 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 2.5 mA, 295 mA IZM rating, 16 V nominal regulation point, and axial leaded Surmetic 40 package compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This device uses silicon-oxide passivated junction technology to achieve tight voltage tolerance and stable regulation under varying thermal conditions. Its 5 W steady-state power dissipation is rated at TL = 25°C with 3/8″ lead length, and it supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 295 A for 8.3 ms pulses.
The 1N5353B exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V, with typical TC ≈ +0.085 mV/°C per volt near its 16 V operating point. Its cathode band marking and axial lead configuration define unambiguous polarity for series-shunt regulation topologies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5353A | ±10% tolerance (vs. ±5% for 1N5353B); same 16 V nominal, 5 W rating, and package | Lower precision regulation; suitable only where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy | Select 1N5353A only if system-level testing confirms ±10% VZ meets functional safety margins. |
| BZX85C16 | Different package (DO-41 vs. axial Surmetic 40); 16 V ±5%, but 1.3 W power rating and 200 Ω ZZT | Limited to low-power signal conditioning; cannot replace 1N5353B in 5 W power regulation roles | Use BZX85C16 only in space-constrained signal-path references where 1.3 W dissipation suffices. |
Compared with 1N5353A and BZX85C16, the 1N5353B delivers superior regulation accuracy (±5% vs. ±10%), higher power handling (5 W vs. 1.3 W), and lower dynamic impedance (75 Ω vs. 200 Ω), making it the only option qualified for industrial-grade 16 V shunt regulation requiring long-term stability and surge resilience.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5353B?
The 1N5353B has a nominal zener voltage of 16 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual zener voltage falls between 15.2 V and 16.8 V when tested at IZT = 2.5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tight tolerance is achieved via silicon-oxide passivated junction technology and is specified per JEDEC standards for the "B" suffix variant. The 1N5353B's voltage stability supports precision regulation in industrial and automotive systems where reference accuracy directly impacts measurement fidelity.
What is the maximum continuous zener current rating for the 1N5353B?
The 1N5353B has a maximum DC zener current (IZM) of 295 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating divided by the maximum zener voltage (16.8 V). This rating assumes a lead temperature (TL) of 25°C with 3/8″ lead length; derating applies above 25°C at 40 mW/°C. The 1N5353B's IZM enables reliable operation in shunt regulator configurations powering small-signal loads without external heatsinking.
How does the 1N5353B perform under transient surge conditions?
The 1N5353B supports a peak non-repetitive surge current of 295 A for an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse, as verified per Figure 5 in the onsemi datasheet. This surge capability allows the 1N5353B to safely clamp inductive kickback and lightning-induced transients in industrial motor drives and automotive power systems. Its robust construction-using void-free transfer-molded plastic and silicon-oxide passivation-ensures no parameter shift occurs after such events, preserving long-term regulation integrity of the 1N5353B.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5353B and why does it matter?
The 1N5353B has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 75 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA, measured with 40 ±10 ms current application. Low ZZT minimizes output voltage variation under changing load currents-critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback circuits. For example, a 10 mA load step causes only ~0.75 V deviation in the 1N5353B's output, whereas higher-impedance alternatives would exhibit larger errors. This performance makes the 1N5353B suitable for precision references in programmable power supplies and sensor interfaces.
Is the 1N5353B RoHS-compliant and what package type does it use?
Yes, the 1N5353B is RoHS-compliant and supplied in a Pb-free axial-lead package designated as Surmetic 40 (JEDEC CASE 017AA). Its void-free, transfer-molded thermosetting plastic body provides environmental protection, while the cathode is marked by a visible polarity band. The package supports standard through-hole soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case, and its mechanical dimensions (8.38–8.89 mm length, 3.30–3.68 mm diameter) ensure compatibility with legacy industrial PCB footprints designed for the 1N5353B.
