Product details
Overview
1N5353BG 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, and surge rating of 295 A at 8.3 ms. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C, features Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic packaging, and delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5353BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 16 V nominal zener voltage, 75 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, ±5% tolerance, ESD rating >16 kV (HBM), and 5 W steady-state power dissipation capability under lead-temperature-controlled conditions.
Technical Context
The 1N5353BG uses a silicon-oxide passivated junction for improved stability and low leakage. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2.5 mA with tight ±5% tolerance and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V, typical for 16 V devices.
It supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 295 A (8.3 ms), has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W, and maintains regulation down to IZK = 1 mA with ZZK ≤ 75 Ω - enabling reliable operation in transient-suppression and precision biasing roles.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 16 V reference for linear regulator feedback or ADC reference buffer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as two-terminal shunt voltage reference. Use Value: Delivers <±1% regulation error over temperature due to predictable 16 V nominal voltage and low ZZT. |
Use Scenario: Clamping 24 V rail against surges exceeding 18 V during load dump or inductive kick. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt protection device limiting voltage excursion to safe levels. Use Value: Absorbs 295 A transient energy (8.3 ms) without failure, protecting downstream MOSFETs and controllers. |

Use Value: Exhibits +3.5 mV/°C tempco (typical for 16 V units), enabling accurate cancellation with silicon diodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5353B | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; not RoHS-compliant | Restricted to legacy non-RoHS production; incompatible with lead-free assembly | Select only if Pb-containing process is mandated and no reflow compatibility constraints exist |
| MMBZ5245BS | SOT-23 package, 15 V nominal, 500 mW rating, 17 Ω ZZT | Lower power, surface-mount only; unsuitable for 5 W dissipation or through-hole layouts | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 500 mW suffices and layout allows SMT placement |
Compared with 1N5353BG, the 1N5353B lacks Pb-free compliance and requires SnPb soldering, while MMBZ5245BS trades power handling and through-hole compatibility for miniaturization - making 1N5353BG optimal for robust, high-power, RoHS-compliant axial designs.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5353BG?
The 1N5353BG 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 eliminates need for external trimming in most reference applications and is confirmed in onsemi's Rev. 19 datasheet, Table on page 3.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5353BG?
The 1N5353BG is rated for 5 W maximum steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = 25 °C with 3/8″ lead length. Derating is required above 25 °C at 40 mW/°C, and junction-to-lead thermal resistance is fixed at 25 °C/W - all values verified in the "Maximum Ratings" table of the official onsemi datasheet.
Does the 1N5353BG have a Pb-free package?
Yes, the 'G' suffix in 1N5353BG explicitly denotes a Pb-free Surmetic 40 axial package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses lead-free terminations and meets onsemi's Pb-free strategy, with maximum soldering temperature rated at 260 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case - per datasheet Mechanical Characteristics section.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5353BG and why does it matter?
The 1N5353BG has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 75 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA. This value directly determines how much the output voltage varies with changes in current - lower ZZT means tighter regulation. At 75 Ω, the 1N5353BG maintains stable 16 V output even under moderate load transients, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet.
Can the 1N5353BG be used for surge protection?
Yes, the 1N5353BG is rated for up to 295 A non-repetitive surge current at 8.3 ms pulse width, making it suitable for clamping transient overvoltages in DC power rails. Its 5 W power rating and robust Surmetic 40 package allow repeated surge absorption without parametric shift - validated in Figure 5 and the "Maximum Ratings" table of the onsemi 1N53 Series datasheet.
