Product details
Overview
1N5353CE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 16 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 75 mA test current (IZT), 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 6.0 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5353CE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5353CE3/TR8 pinout, 1N5353CE3/TR8 application, or 1N5353CE3/TR8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant plating details, tape-and-reel packaging (TR8), and direct alternatives for stable 16 V regulation under variable load and temperature conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse-bias connection where the banded end is positive relative to the anode. It maintains regulation across 10–50% of IZM (75 mA), with ΔVZ measured between those points.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance of 25 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length, enabling 5.0 W dissipation at TL < 25 °C; on FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pad), steady-state power drops to 1.47 W at TA = 25 °C due to 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±2% - tight tolerance enables stable reference in feedback networks without post-calibration. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; design must ensure minimum bias current ≥10% IZM for regulation. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - low impedance minimizes output voltage variation under changing load current. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 6.0 A - peak DC current capability when adequately heat-sunk; determines maximum power delivery before thermal runaway. |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.30 V max - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM; quantifies line regulation performance across operating range. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 μA max at VR = 11.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby mode of voltage-monitoring circuits. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 75 A - non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge rating; supports transient overvoltage clamping in input protection stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case per JEDEC DO-201AD; void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body; matte-tin RoHS-compliant plating; cathode indicated by band; weight 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current sink terminal in reverse-bias operation | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path); defines reference point for regulated output. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated voltage output terminal | Delivers stable 16 V when reverse-biased; must be connected to higher-potential node (e.g., supply rail or error amplifier input). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables single-supply 16 V reference accuracy without trimming resistors in industrial sensor interfaces. |
| RoHS-compliant e3 suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; tin-plated leads compatible with Pb-free reflow and wave soldering at 260 °C for 10 s. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry-pack required; safe for standard SMT assembly without baking prior to use. |
| Low thermal resistance (25 °C/W) | Supports full 5 W dissipation with simple lead-length heat sinking-no heatsink needed for ≤1 W continuous operation. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands human-body-model ESD events up to ±4 kV without parameter shift-reduces need for external protection in field-deployed equipment. |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Reference | Overvoltage Clamp for 15 V Rail |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage in isolated flyback or forward converter feedback loop using TL431 auxiliary reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides precise 16 V reference to optocoupler LED anode, setting primary-side regulation threshold. Use Value: ±2% tolerance ensures ±0.32 V absolute reference error, maintaining ±1% output regulation across line/load/temperature. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 15 V logic supply from transient surges exceeding 16.5 V during hot-swap or inductive kick events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as shunt clamp, diverting excess current when rail exceeds 16 V + ΔVZ (≤16.3 V). Use Value: 75 A surge rating absorbs 8.3 ms transients without degradation; low ZZ limits clamping overshoot to <0.3 V. |
| Industrial Sensor Excitation Reference | Programmable Threshold Detector |
Use Scenario: Supplying excitation voltage to 4–20 mA current-loop pressure sensors requiring stable 16 V bias. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as low-drift, low-noise voltage source for bridge sensor biasing in analog front-end circuits. Use Value: 2.5 Ω ZZ and 0.30 V ΔVZ ensure <2 mV variation across 1–10 mA load changes-critical for 12-bit ADC resolution. |
Use Scenario: Setting trip point for comparator-based undervoltage lockout (UVLO) or brownout detection at 16 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delivers accurate threshold voltage to comparator inverter input; hysteresis added externally. Use Value: ±2% tolerance guarantees trip window of 15.68–16.32 V-tight enough to avoid nuisance tripping while ensuring system safety margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5353B | Same 16 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) and no RoHS e3 marking; identical package and thermal specs. | Acceptable where tighter tolerance not required; not compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. | Select 1N5353B only for legacy designs or non-RoHS environments; verify compliance requirements before substitution. |
| SMBJ5353CE3 | Surface-mount SMB package; same 16 V ±2%, 5 W rating, and e3 RoHS marking; 216 Ω junction-to-ambient vs. 85 Ω for axial version on FR4. | Used where board space is constrained and automated placement required; requires thermal pad design for full power handling. | Choose SMBJ5353CE3 for high-density layouts; confirm PCB copper area meets 1.47 W derating limit if no thermal pad. |
Compared with 1N5353B and SMBJ5353CE3, the 1N5353CE3/TR8 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, ±2% tolerance, axial-leaded ease of prototyping and repair, and proven reliability in through-hole power supply feedback paths-making it optimal for industrial OEMs prioritizing long-term supply stability and manual assembly compatibility.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5353CE3/TR8?
The 1N5353CE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its actual regulation voltage falls within 15.68 V to 16.32 V at 25 °C when tested at 75 mA. The tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications where calibration overhead must be minimized.
Does the 1N5353CE3/TR8 require dry packing before use?
No, the 1N5353CE3/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 soldering. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risks during reflow.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N5353CE3/TR8 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pad, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5353CE3/TR8 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 85 °C/W and a steady-state power rating of 1.47 W at TA = 25 °C. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Can the 1N5353CE3/TR8 be used as a replacement for the 1N5353B?
Yes, the 1N5353CE3/TR8 is functionally compatible with the 1N5353B for 16 V regulation, but differs in tolerance (±2% vs. ±5%) and RoHS compliance (e3 suffix). No PCB layout change is needed, but verify that the tighter tolerance and lead-free plating meet your system's compliance and performance requirements.
What does the "TR8" suffix indicate in 1N5353CE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm tape width and 1,000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from bulk or ammo-pack options-ensuring consistent feeding and traceability in high-volume production.
