Product details
Overview
1N5353BRL 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 from −65°C to +200°C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5353BRL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25°C/W), leakage current (0.3 mA at 12.2 V), and Pb-free axial package compatibility with wave soldering at 260°C.
Technical Context
This device uses silicon-oxide passivated junction technology to achieve tight voltage regulation and high ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM). Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 2.5 mA with guaranteed min/typ/max values of 15.2 V / 16 V / 16.8 V.
The 1N5353BRL exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V (≈+4.5 mV/°C per Figure 3), supports DC zener current up to 75 mA, and maintains stable regulation under transient surges up to 180 W for 8.3 ms with no degradation in performance.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V nominal (15.2–16.8 V range); enables precise 16 V reference in feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W at TL = 25°C; derates 40 mW/°C above 25°C for thermal design margin |
| Zener Impedance | 75 Ω max at IZT = 2.5 mA; ensures low dynamic resistance for stable regulation |
| Leakage Current | 0.3 mA max at VR = 12.2 V; minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current | 295 A peak at 8.3 ms; withstands line transients without failure |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 25 °C/W; defines thermal path from junction to lead for heatsinking calculations |
| Operating Temp Range | −65°C to +200°C; supports automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |

Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in optocoupler-coupled feedback loop of isolated 48 V DC-DC converter to regulate output within ±1%. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing stable 16 V threshold to TL431 error amplifier input. Use Value: Tight 5% VZ tolerance and low 75 Ω impedance ensure <±0.5% output voltage drift over load and line variations. | Use Scenario: Provides excitation voltage for 4–20 mA current-loop pressure sensor in factory automation PLC module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 16 V rail for sensor bridge biasing and ADC reference scaling. Use Value: Low 0.3 mA leakage at 12.2 V prevents loading of high-impedance sensor outputs and preserves measurement accuracy. |
| Overvoltage Clamp Protection | Microcontroller I/O Protection |
Use Scenario: Clamps 24 V industrial bus transients to safe levels before entering motor driver gate drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed between bus rail and ground, triggered at 16.8 V max. Use Value: 295 A surge capability absorbs 180 W pulses without degradation, protecting downstream MOSFETs. | Use Scenario: Protects 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pins from accidental 12 V miswiring during field service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased clamp limiting pin voltage to 16.8 V while sinking fault current. Use Value: Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) eliminates need for additional TVS devices on each I/O line. |
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 supplied in 1000-unit box (not tape-and-reel); identical axial Pb-free package | No difference in circuit function or layout; differs only in packaging format and reel orientation | Select 1N5353B for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| MMSZ5245B | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 16 V nominal, 500 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Requires PCB redesign for SMT placement; unsuitable for through-hole or high-power dissipation (>0.5 W) | Choose MMSZ5245B only when board space is constrained and power demand is ≤0.5 W |
Compared with 1N5353BRL, the 1N5353B offers identical performance in a different packaging format ideal for low-volume assembly, while MMSZ5245B trades power handling and thermal robustness for miniaturization-making it viable only in low-dissipation SMT designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for 1N5353BRL?
The 1N5353BRL has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, with guaranteed minimum, nominal, and maximum values of 15.2 V, 16 V, and 16.8 V respectively, measured at IZT = 2.5 mA and TA = 25°C. This tolerance is defined per JEDEC standard and applies to all B-suffix devices in the 1N53 series.
Can 1N5353BRL be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5353BRL is an axial-lead through-hole device in Case 017AA plastic package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly processes. For SMT alternatives, consider the MMSZ5245B (SOD-123) or NZ9F16V (SOD-323), both rated for 16 V but with lower power dissipation (500 mW).
What is the maximum continuous zener current for 1N5353BRL?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for 1N5353BRL is 75 mA, calculated as 5 W / 16.8 V (max VZ). At 16 V nominal, this corresponds to 312.5 mA - however, the datasheet specifies 75 mA as the absolute maximum to ensure reliability under worst-case voltage and thermal conditions.
Does 1N5353BRL require heatsinking in typical applications?
Heatsinking is not required for 1N5353BRL at ≤5 W dissipation if lead length is maintained at 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) from case to heatsink point, as its junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 25°C/W. For sustained operation near 5 W, mounting leads to a copper pour or chassis improves thermal margin and extends lifetime.
Is 1N5353BRL compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, the 1N5353BRL is Pb-free and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The "G" suffix in the ordering code confirms Pb-free construction, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
