Product details
Overview
1N5354E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 17 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 70 mA test current, 2.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5.8 A maximum Zener current when adequately heat sunk. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5354E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5354E3/TR13 pinout, 1N5354E3/TR13 application, or 1N5354E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (5.8 A), reverse leakage behavior at VR = 12.2 V, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device operates as a shunt voltage regulator by maintaining a stable reverse-biased breakdown voltage across its terminals under varying load and line conditions. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures minimal voltage deviation over its specified operating current range (10–50% of IZM), and its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation with standard 3/8" lead length mounting.
The 1N5354E3/TR13 features a void-free thermosetting epoxy case rated UL94V-0, cathode band polarity marking, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020B-eliminating dry-pack requirements. It withstands 8.3 ms 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 |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354B | Same 17 V, ±5%, 5 W rating but non-RoHS tin-lead plating; no e3 suffix | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires different reflow profile and post-solder cleaning | Select 1N5354B only if legacy tin-lead process is mandated and RoHS compliance is not required |
| MMSZ5246B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 16 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW - not power-equivalent | Cannot replace 1N5354E3/TR13 in 5 W applications; limited to low-power signal-level clamping | Choose MMSZ5246B-TP only for space-constrained PCBs where <1 W dissipation suffices |
Compared with 1N5354B and MMSZ5246B-TP, the 1N5354E3/TR13 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, 5 W power handling, axial-leaded through-hole mounting, and JEDEC-standardized T-18 packaging-making it the sole option for high-reliability, lead-free, medium-power shunt regulation in industrial power supplies and protection circuits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5354E3/TR13?
The 1N5354E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 17 V with ±5% tolerance, as confirmed by the "B" designation implied by its electrical specification table entry and consistent with Microsemi's suffix coding (B = ±5%). This tolerance is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 1 of the official datasheet, where 1N5354B is listed with VZ = 17 V and IZT = 70 mA.
Does the 1N5354E3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5354E3/TR13 does not require dry packing. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking or dry-pack requirements-confirmed in the Features section of the datasheet.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5354E3/TR13 at 25°C?
The 1N5354E3/TR13 is rated for 5.0 watts steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature (TL), as stated in the Maximum Ratings section. When mounted on an FR4 PCB with defined copper pads, its derated power drops to 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient (TA), per the thermal resistance specification of 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient.
How is polarity marked on the 1N5354E3/TR13?
The cathode of the 1N5354E3/TR13 is marked by a visible colored band on the body; the diode must be operated with this banded end held positive relative to the opposite (anode) end during reverse-bias regulation. This marking convention is explicitly defined in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N5354E3/TR13?
The 1N5354E3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) rating of 5.8 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is derived from its 5 W power rating and 17 V Zener voltage, and is validated under standardized test conditions per Microsemi's published data.
