Product details
Overview
1N5353CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 16 V, ±2% tolerance, 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with 75 mA test current, 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 75 mA, and 295 Ω knee impedance at 1 mA. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5353CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5353CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5353CE3/TR13 application, or 1N5353CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight ±2% VZ tolerance, 295 Ω ZZK at 1 mA for low-current regulation stability, 6.0 V ΔVZ regulation performance, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable 16 V output across varying load currents (1–75 mA) and temperatures (−65 °C to +150 °C). Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables 5 W dissipation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
The device exhibits 0.30 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM, confirming minimal VZ drift under current variation. Its 1.0 μA reverse leakage at 11.5 V ensures low standby power loss in precision bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±2% - precise reference voltage for analog feedback loops and ADC references |
| Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; defines minimum stable regulation current |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω at 75 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage ripple under dynamic load changes |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 295 Ω at 1 mA - defines regulation capability at low bias currents typical in sensor biasing |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 6.0 A - peak DC current before thermal runaway when adequately heat sunk |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.30 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM; quantifies regulation linearity |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables 5 W continuous operation with simple lead-length heat sinking |

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 16 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) vs. ±2% (C suffix) | Lower accuracy; suitable for non-critical biasing where cost is prioritized over precision | Select 1N5353B only if ±5% VZ meets system tolerance budget and RoHS compliance is not required |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 16 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; ZZ = 17 Ω at 20 mA | Not drop-in compatible; limited to low-power PCB space-constrained designs | Choose MMSZ5245B-TP only for compact layouts requiring SMT assembly and where 500 mW power suffices |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5353CE3/TR13?
The 1N5353CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 16 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 15.68 V and 16.32 V at 25 °C with 75 mA test current, enabling high-accuracy voltage references in feedback loops and precision analog circuits.
Does the 1N5353CE3/TR13 require dry packing for moisture sensitivity?
No, the 1N5353CE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require dry packing or floor-life controls prior to soldering. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body eliminates humidity ingress concerns during storage and reflow.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5353CE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5353CE3/TR13 has a steady-state power rating of 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient. Derating follows 85 °C/W thermal resistance, reducing usable power linearly above 25 °C ambient temperature.
How does the 1N5353CE3/TR13 compare to the 1N5353B in terms of voltage regulation performance?
The 1N5353CE3/TR13 offers tighter ±2% Zener voltage tolerance versus the ±5% of the 1N5353B, and includes RoHS-compliant e3 plating. Both share identical 16 V nominal VZ, 75 mA IZT, and 2.5 Ω ZZ, but the C-suffix version provides superior accuracy for precision reference applications where calibration overhead must be minimized.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5353CE3/TR13?
The 1N5353CE3/TR13 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA at 11.5 V (75% of VZ). This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias networks and preserves accuracy in battery-powered sensor interfaces where quiescent power is critical.
