Product details
Overview
1N5354BE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 17 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), maximum dynamic impedance of 2.5 Ω at 70 mA test current, and maximum reverse current of 0.5 μA at 12.2 V. It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5354BE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5354BE3/TR12 pinout, 1N5354BE3/TR12 application, or 1N5354BE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (5.8 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.35 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 70 mA (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 1 kHz AC superimposed on DC bias - confirming stable regulation under varying load conditions.
The 1N5354BE3/TR12 features low thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead at 10 mm lead length) and high surge current capability (5.8 A, 8.3 ms half-sine), enabling reliable operation in transient-prone industrial power rails without external heat sinking beyond standard axial mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 17 V ±5% - precise reference point for feedback networks in regulated DC-DC converters. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 70 mA - standardized bias condition ensuring repeatable VZ measurement and circuit design consistency. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation across load changes. |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA at 12.2 V - ultra-low leakage preserves regulation integrity in high-impedance sensing paths. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact power supplies with adequate lead heatsinking. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.8 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands common-line transients without degradation or failure. |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.35 V - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM, quantifying regulation linearity over operating range. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (Void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band; leads plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; reverse-biased configuration places cathode at higher potential. |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal / voltage reference output | Banded end; connected to regulated node (e.g., feedback divider tap); must be held positive relative to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and standardized electrical behavior per 1N53xxB series definition. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling, storage, and assembly logistics for production environments. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for special ESD controls during board assembly or field service. |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II requirements for lead-free electronics manufacturing. |
| High surge current endurance | 5.8 A peak (8.3 ms) enables use in unfiltered input stages without external TVS devices. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354B (non-e3, tape-and-reel not standard) | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; no RoHS compliance; TR12 packaging not guaranteed. | Acceptable only in legacy non-RoHS designs; requires separate reel qualification for automated placement. | Select 1N5354B only if SnPb solder process is mandated and environmental compliance is waived. |
| MMSZ5246B (ON Semiconductor) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 17 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 10x lower power than 1N5354BE3/TR12. | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs but cannot replace 1N5354BE3/TR12 in 5 W thermal environments without parallel devices. | Choose MMSZ5246B only for low-power signal-level referencing where board area is critical and power <0.5 W. |
Compared with 1N5354B and MMSZ5246B, the 1N5354BE3/TR12 uniquely delivers 5 W power handling in an axial package with RoHS compliance and verified 5.8 A surge capability - making it the sole option for robust, through-hole, high-energy voltage regulation in industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5354BE3/TR12?
The 1N5354BE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 17 V regulation voltage falls within 16.15 V to 17.85 V at 70 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and TR12 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standards.
Can the 1N5354BE3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5354BE3/TR12 uses an axial-leaded T-18 package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly processes. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5354B series, while ON Semiconductor's MMSZ5246B provides a 17 V, ±5% SOD-123 alternative - though rated only at 500 mW versus the 5 W capability of the 1N5354BE3/TR12.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5354BE3/TR12 on a standard PCB?
When mounted on a FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N5354BE3/TR12 delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25 °C ambient. Its thermal resistance rises to 85 °C/W in this configuration, requiring derating above 25 °C - unlike its 5 W rating at 25 °C lead temperature with 10 mm lead heatsinking.
Does the 1N5354BE3/TR12 require dry-pack moisture protection before reflow?
No - the 1N5354BE3/TR12 carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1, meaning it may be stored and processed indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or dry-pack requirements. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard IR or convection reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
How does the voltage regulation (ΔVZ) specification apply to the 1N5354BE3/TR12?
The 1N5354BE3/TR12 specifies ΔVZ = 0.35 V, defined as the difference between Zener voltage measured at 10% and 50% of its maximum Zener current (IZM). This quantifies regulation linearity - a lower ΔVZ indicates tighter voltage stability across operating current range, critical for precision feedback and reference applications.
