Product details
Overview
1N5354/TR8 from Microsemi is a silicon 5 W axial-leaded 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 industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5354/TR8 datasheet, 1N5354/TR8 pinout, 1N5354/TR8 application, or 1N5354/TR8 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 e3 marking compatibility.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 70 mA test current (IZT) with 1 kHz AC impedance measurement superimposed on DC bias, and its regulation stability is defined by ΔVZ measured between 10% and 50% of IZM.
The 1N5354/TR8 features low thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead at 10 mm lead length), enabling stable regulation under high DC current when adequately heat-sunk. It exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current due to tight dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) and low knee impedance (500 Ω at 1 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 17 V ±5% - precise regulation point at 70 mA, suitable for 15–19 V reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - supports high-current regulation with proper heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 2.5 Ω max at IZT = 70 mA - ensures low output impedance and stable voltage under load variation |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA at VR = 12.2 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or low-power monitoring circuits |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.8 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without failure |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.35 V - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating tight regulation linearity |
| Junction-to-Lead Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W - enables predictable thermal design with axial lead mounting and 10 mm lead length |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case per JEDEC DO-204AL. Void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body; cathode indicated by band; leads plated with annealed matte tin (RoHS compliant) or tin-lead.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-voltage side in reverse-bias regulation | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; connected to input rail to clamp voltage at 17 V ±5% |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354B | No TR8 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only; identical electrical specs and T-18 package | Suitable for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies where reel feeding is unnecessary | Select 1N5354B for bench evaluation or small-batch builds without SMT placement equipment |
| MMBZ5246BS-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 17 V ±5%; 250 mW rating; higher ZZ (20 Ω); not drop-in compatible | Used in space-constrained PCBs where axial leads are impractical; requires layout redesign | Choose MMBZ5246BS-7-F only when board real estate mandates SMT and thermal derating to 250 mW is acceptable |
Compared with 1N5354/TR8, the 1N5354B offers identical regulation performance without tape-and-reel convenience, while the MMBZ5246BS-7-F trades 5 W power handling and axial-mount flexibility for miniaturization-requiring thermal and layout reassessment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5354/TR8?
The 1N5354/TR8 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's datasheet. This means its regulation voltage falls within 16.15 V to 17.85 V at 70 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N5354/TR8 achieves this tolerance through post-package sorting and is validated per JEDEC registration requirements.
Does the 1N5354/TR8 require dry packing for moisture sensitivity?
No, the 1N5354/TR8 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry pack or baking before reflow soldering. Its void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation provides inherent moisture resistance, simplifying manufacturing logistics and reducing process risk.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the 1N5354/TR8 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5354/TR8 delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25 °C ambient, per its thermal resistance of 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient. This value is derived from Figure 1 derating curve and must be applied in layout thermal analysis.
Can the 1N5354/TR8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5354B?
Yes-the 1N5354/TR8 shares identical electrical specifications, T-18 package, and Zener characteristics with the 1N5354B; the only difference is tape-and-reel packaging (TR8) for automated assembly. No circuit or layout changes are needed, and both parts meet the same Microsemi qualification standards and JEDEC registration.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N5354/TR8 and how is it defined?
The 1N5354/TR8 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 5.8 A, defined as the peak amplitude of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure, making it suitable for protecting against inductive kickback and lightning-induced surges in industrial environments.
