Product details
Overview
1N5354BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 17 V, ±5% tolerance, 70 Ω maximum zener impedance at 2.5 mA test current, and 0.35 mA maximum leakage current at 12.9 V reverse bias. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in DC power supply feedback paths, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5354BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 17 V regulation point, 75 A maximum surge current (8.3 ms), 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, Pb-free Surmetic 40 package, and compatibility with standard through-hole soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
Technical Context
This device uses silicon-oxide passivated junction technology to achieve tight voltage tolerance and stable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 10 V, with typical TC of +5.8 mV/°C at 17 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
The 1N5354BG delivers 5 W steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature, derating linearly above that point at 40 mW/°C. It supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 75 A for 8.3 ms pulses and maintains low dynamic impedance (70 Ω) at IZT = 2.5 mA, ensuring minimal regulation error across operating current range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16.15–17.85 V (±5% tolerance at IZT = 2.5 mA; defines precise clamping threshold) |
| Max Power Dissipation | 5 W at TL = 25 °C (supports robust shunt regulation without heatsink in low-duty-cycle applications) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω max at IZT = 2.5 mA (ensures <175 mV output variation for ±1 mA load change) |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.35 mA max at VR = 12.9 V (minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks) |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 75 A peak for 8.3 ms (withstands transient overvoltage events per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3) |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 25 °C/W (enables thermal modeling of junction temperature rise from measured lead temperature) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) (survives handling and board assembly without external protection) |
Pinout & Package
1N5354BG is housed in an axial-lead Surmetic 40 plastic package (Case 017AA), void-free transfer-molded thermosetting material with corrosion-resistant leads and cathode polarity band marking. Lead length is standardized at 3/8 inch for thermal rating compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; establishes reference ground for shunt operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulation output node | Connected to higher-potential rail; clamps voltage to 17 V when reverse-biased beyond breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354B | Same electrical specs but SnPb-plated leads (non-Pb-free); identical VZ, ZZT, IR, and surge rating | Not compliant with RoHS or China RoHS; unsuitable for export to EU/China markets | Select 1N5354BG for new designs requiring Pb-free compliance; use 1N5354B only for legacy repair or non-regulated regions |
| MMSZ5246BS-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 16–17.6 V VZ range; 1 W power rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Lower power handling (1 W vs. 5 W); requires PCB layout change; better high-frequency impedance | Choose MMSZ5246BS-TP for space-constrained, high-density boards where 1 W dissipation suffices and thermal mass is limited |
Compared with 1N5354B, the 1N5354BG offers identical regulation performance with Pb-free compliance; compared with MMSZ5246BS-TP, it trades surface-mount convenience for 5× higher power handling and axial-lead mechanical robustness in high-surge environments.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for 1N5354BG at 25°C?
The 1N5354BG has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 16.15 V to 17.85 V at 25°C with test current IZT = 2.5 mA. This ±5% tolerance is specified per JEDEC standard and confirmed in onsemi's Rev. 19 datasheet, page 3. The nominal value is 17 V, and all units meet this range without binning.
Can 1N5354BG be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5354BG is exclusively an axial-lead through-hole device in Surmetic 40 (Case 017AA) package. It cannot be mounted on SMT pads. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the MMSZ5246BS-TP (SOD-123, 17 V) or NZ9F17VTA (SOD-923, 17 V), both requiring PCB redesign and derated power handling.
What is the maximum allowable surge current for 1N5354BG and under what conditions?
The 1N5354BG supports a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 75 A for 8.3 ms square-wave pulses at 25°C ambient, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3). This rating assumes proper lead mounting (3/8″ from case) and applies only to single-event transients-not repetitive duty cycles.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of 1N5354BG?
The 1N5354BG exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +5.8 mV/°C at its 17 V operating point, as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet. This means VZ increases by ~5.8 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature-critical for precision reference designs requiring thermal compensation.
Is 1N5354BG compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 'G' suffix explicitly denotes Pb-free construction. The 1N5354BG is qualified for lead-free wave and reflow soldering with maximum lead temperature of 260°C at 1/16 inch from case for 10 seconds, per datasheet Mechanical Characteristics section. No special preheat or cooling profiles are required beyond J-STD-020 standards.
