Product details
Overview
1N5356BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 19 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 65 Ω at 3 mA test current, 0.5 mA leakage current at 14.4 V, and surge rating of 250 A at 8.3 ms. It operates from −65 °C to +200 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5356BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, mechanical package details, and real-world selection guidance for industrial power management and analog signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The 1N5356BG uses a silicon-oxide passivated junction for stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage. Its ±5% zener tolerance and tight regulation (ΔVZ < 0.1 V between 10% and 50% IZM) support accurate voltage references under varying load conditions.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) and lead-length-dependent derating-power dissipation drops 40 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient. The device sustains non-repetitive 8.3 ms surges up to 250 A without degradation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5356B | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; no Pb-free compliance | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant medical or consumer electronics production | Select 1N5356BG when lead-free assembly and environmental compliance are mandatory |
| MMBZ5242B | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; 12 V nominal; 0.5 W rating | Lower power, smaller footprint-used in space-constrained DC-DC converters | Choose MMBZ5242B only for low-power (<0.5 W), PCB-area-sensitive designs where 19 V regulation is not required |
Compared with 1N5356B, the 1N5356BG offers identical regulation performance with Pb-free solder compatibility; versus MMBZ5242B, it delivers 10× higher power handling and 19 V precision but requires axial through-hole mounting and larger board area.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for the 1N5356BG?
The 1N5356BG has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a nominal value of 19 V and guaranteed range of 18.05 V to 19.95 V at 3 mA test current. This tolerance is defined per JEDEC standards and applies to all B-suffix devices in the 1N53 Series. The 1N5356BG's tight regulation supports precision feedback in switching power supplies without external trimming.
How does thermal derating work for the 1N5356BG?
The 1N5356BG derates linearly above 25 °C ambient: power dissipation decreases by 40 mW/°C. At 75 °C lead temperature, maximum allowable power drops to 3 W. Derating assumes 3/8″ lead length to heatsink; shorter leads increase thermal resistance. The 1N5356BG's θJL = 25 °C/W enables predictable junction temperature modeling using TL = θLA·PD + TA.
Can the 1N5356BG be used in automotive load-dump protection?
Yes-the 1N5356BG withstands 250 A non-repetitive surge current at 8.3 ms pulse width, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements for 12 V systems. Its 200 °C maximum storage temperature and oxide-passivated junction ensure reliability under repeated transients. When deployed as a shunt clamp, the 1N5356BG must be paired with appropriate series impedance to limit peak power to ≤5 W during clamping.
What is the maximum leakage current specification for the 1N5356BG?
The 1N5356BG specifies maximum reverse leakage current of 0.4 mA at 14.4 V (VR), measured at 25 °C. This value is critical for low-power bias networks-e.g., in battery-operated sensors where standby current must remain below 1 μA total. Leakage remains <1 μA below 10 V, making the 1N5356BG suitable for precision reference divider chains.
Is the 1N5356BG compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes-the 'G' suffix explicitly denotes Pb-free packaging, qualified for reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260 °C (10 seconds at 1/16″ from case). The 1N5356BG's thermosetting plastic body and corrosion-resistant leads meet J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements. No special pre-bake is needed prior to standard lead-free reflow.
