Product details
Overview
1N5356B/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 19 V ±5%, 65 mA test current (IZT), 3.0 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 75 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at TL = 25°C. It provides stable voltage reference in power supply feedback, overvoltage protection, and precision biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5356B/TR8 datasheet, 1N5356B/TR8 pinout, 1N5356B/TR8 application, or 1N5356B/TR8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC T-18 package details, and direct alternatives for industrial power regulation design.
Technical Context
The 1N5356B/TR8 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 19 V across its terminals within ±5% tolerance. Its regulation performance is defined at 65 mA test current and validated under lead temperature (TL) conditions per JEDEC standards.
It features 3.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 0.5 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 14.4 V, and 5.3 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM - confirming tight regulation over operating current range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 19 V ±5% - precise reference for 18–19.9 V regulated output |
| Test Current (IZT) | 65 mA - defines nominal operating point for VZ and ZZ measurement |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.0 Ω max - low AC resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - maximum continuous DC current before thermal limit at TL = 25°C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA max at VR = 14.4 V - negligible standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 5.3 V max - difference between VZ measured at 7.5 mA and 37.5 mA confirms stability across 10–50% IZM range |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25°C - requires minimum 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body for full rating |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal modeling for heatsink-free operation with adequate lead length |
Pinout & Package
Package: JEDEC T-18 axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case (void-free thermosetting epoxy, UL94V-0 rated). Cathode indicated by band; banded end must be held positive relative to anode during regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; held at stable 19 V above anode when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Enables accurate 19 V reference without post-calibration in mid-precision supplies |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets environmental compliance for industrial and commercial PCB assembly without lead exemption |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to reflow |
| 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Supports 5 W operation with standard lead-forming and chassis-mount heat sinking |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for special ESD handling during manual assembly or board-level testing |

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 (bulk) | Identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging - no tape-and-reel (TR8) carrier | No automated pick-and-place support; suitable for hand-soldered prototypes or low-volume repair | Select 1N5356B/TR8 for SMT production lines requiring reel-fed placement; choose bulk for bench validation. |
| MMBZ5248BS-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 19 V ±5%, 20 mA IZT, 35 Ω ZZ - higher impedance, lower power (0.5 W) | Not suitable for 5 W dissipation; limited to low-current bias/reference roles in space-constrained designs | Choose MMBZ5248BS-7-F only when board area is critical and power demand ≤0.5 W; retain 1N5356B/TR8 for >1 W regulation. |
Compared with 1N5356B (bulk) and MMBZ5248BS-7-F, the 1N5356B/TR8 uniquely combines JEDEC-standard axial T-18 packaging, 5 W power handling, ±5% tolerance, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel compatibility - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial power supply manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5356B/TR8?
The 1N5356B/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 19 V regulation falls within 18.05 V to 19.95 V at 65 mA test current and TL = 25°C. The tolerance is guaranteed per JEDEC registration and confirmed in Microsemi's official datasheet revision D (2008).
Can the 1N5356B/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5356B/TR8 uses a JEDEC T-18 axial-leaded package and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5356B or SMBG5356B in DO-214AA/DO-214AB packages. The 1N5356B/TR8 requires through-hole mounting with ≥10 mm lead length from body for full 5 W rating.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5356B/TR8?
The 1N5356B/TR8 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 170 A, specified for a single 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy during inductive switching events, provided the average power remains within thermal limits defined by the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
How does the thermal resistance affect the 1N5356B/TR8's power handling?
The 1N5356B/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W when mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body. This allows full 5 W dissipation at TL = 25°C. On FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 85 °C/W, reducing steady-state power to 1.47 W at TA = 25°C - requiring careful thermal layout if ambient operation exceeds 25°C.
Is the 1N5356B/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "e3" designation in the full part marking (1N5356B/TR8 e3) confirms RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating on leads and void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, meeting all substance restrictions without exemptions.
