Product details
Overview
1N5354BE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 17 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 70 mA test current (IZT), 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 5.8 A maximum Zener current (IZM) when adequately heat-sunk. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5354BE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5354BE3/TR8 pinout, 1N5354BE3/TR8 application, or 1N5354BE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (5.8 A), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage reference by maintaining stable reverse-bias conduction at its specified Zener voltage (17 V) over a wide current range (10–50% of IZM). Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes, and its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
The 1N5354BE3/TR8 features cathode band polarity marking, UL94V-0 void-free epoxy encapsulation, and moisture sensitivity level 1-no dry pack required. It withstands 8.3 ms non-repetitive half-sine surge currents up to 5.8 A and exhibits ≤0.35 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 17 V ±5% - precise DC reference for feedback loops and clamp thresholds |
| Test Current (IZT) | 70 mA - operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are specified |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max - low AC resistance ensures stable regulation under varying load current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354BRLG | Same 17 V ±5%, 5 W rating, but in bulk packaging (no tape/reel); identical electrical specs and T-18 package | No TR8 tape-and-reel format-suitable for manual or low-volume SMT rework, not automated pick-and-place | Select 1N5354BRLG only when reel packaging is unnecessary and cost-per-unit is prioritized over assembly automation compatibility |
| MMBZ5242B-TP | Surface-mount SOT-23 package, 17 V ±5%, but rated for only 0.25 W-lower power, higher thermal resistance (350 °C/W) | Not suitable for 5 W dissipation; limited to low-current bias/reference roles in space-constrained PCBs | Choose MMBZ5242B-TP only for ultra-compact designs where power <250 mW and thermal budget permits surface-mount limitations |
Compared with 1N5354BRLG and MMBZ5242B-TP, the 1N5354BE3/TR8 uniquely combines axial-leaded mechanical robustness, 5 W power handling, JEDEC-standardized form factor, and tape-and-reel readiness-making it optimal for high-reliability industrial power and protection circuits requiring automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5354BE3/TR8?
The 1N5354BE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its actual 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 TR8 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard. This tolerance enables predictable performance in feedback and clamp circuits without calibration.
Can the 1N5354BE3/TR8 be used without a heatsink?
The 1N5354BE3/TR8 can operate at up to 1.47 W continuously without a heatsink when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm trace width, due to its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For full 5 W dissipation, a 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length must be maintained from the body to achieve the rated 25 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance-effectively using the leads as a heatsink. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe operating limits at elevated temperatures.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N5354BE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix in 1N5354BE3/TR8 indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm carrier tape width and component orientation optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. The "e3" denotes RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and "B" specifies ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. Together, these suffixes define the complete commercial-grade, assembly-ready variant of the base 1N5354B device.
How does the 1N5354BE3/TR8 handle surge conditions?
The 1N5354BE3/TR8 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 5.8 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This capability allows it to absorb transient overvoltages in industrial environments without failure. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) and tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ ≤0.35 V) ensure consistent clamping behavior across surge events, supporting reliable protection in motor drive DC links and power supply inputs.
Is the 1N5354BE3/TR8 suitable for automotive applications?
The 1N5354BE3/TR8 operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels when ordered with MQ/MX/MV prefixes-but the standard 1N5354BE3/TR8 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is widely used in industrial and telecom power systems where extended temperature and surge resilience are required. For automotive-grade deployment, users must specify screened versions (e.g., JANTXV-1N5354B) and validate against vehicle-level EMC and lifetime requirements.
