Product details
Overview
1N5356CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 19 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 3.0 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 65 mA test current, and 75 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 25 °C lead temperature. It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5356CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5356CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5356CE3/TR13 application, or 1N5356CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (75 A), reverse leakage performance at 14.4 V, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference, operating in reverse breakdown with minimal voltage variation across its specified current range (10–50% of IZM). Its low dynamic impedance (3.0 Ω) and tight ±2% VZ tolerance enable stable regulation under varying load conditions.
The 1N5356CE3/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy T-18 package with cathode band marking, rated for 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature and derated linearly above that point. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 19 V ±2% at 65 mA - ensures precise reference stability for feedback loops in regulated DC-DC converters. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - supports high-current regulation when mounted with ≥10 mm lead length from body. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.0 Ω max at IZT = 65 mA - minimizes output voltage deviation during transient load changes. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA at TL = 25 °C - defines safe continuous reverse-bias operating limit before thermal runaway. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA max at VR = 14.4 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on reference circuits. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 75 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides robust transient overvoltage clamping capability. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design when heatsinking via leads. |

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 19 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) and higher ZZ (3.0 Ω vs. 3.0 Ω - identical spec, but B-grade may exhibit wider batch variation) | Acceptable where ±5% regulation is sufficient; not suitable for precision feedback requiring ±2%. | Select 1N5356B only if cost sensitivity outweighs tolerance requirements and thermal derating margin is adequate. |
| MMBZ5242B (SOT-23) | Surface-mount 15 V Zener, 0.25 W rating, ±5% tolerance - differs in voltage, power, package, and mounting method. | Used in space-constrained PCBs where axial T-18 lead spacing is incompatible with layout. | Choose MMBZ5242B only for low-power, high-density designs; not a functional replacement for 5 W regulation needs. |
Compared with 1N5356B and MMBZ5242B, the 1N5356CE3/TR13 uniquely delivers ±2% tolerance, 5 W power handling, and axial-leaded mechanical robustness - making it optimal for industrial power supply references where precision, thermal resilience, and through-hole reliability are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5356CE3/TR13?
The 1N5356CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured VZ at 65 mA test current falls within 18.62 V to 19.38 V at 25 °C lead temperature. This tight tolerance supports precision regulation in feedback networks where output accuracy is critical, such as in medical power supplies or calibrated instrumentation using the 1N5356CE3/TR13 as a reference.
Does the 1N5356CE3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5356CE3/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry packing or floor-life controls prior to soldering. Its void-free epoxy T-18 package is inherently resistant to moisture absorption, allowing indefinite storage and immediate use in both wave and reflow processes - a key advantage for high-mix manufacturing using the 1N5356CE3/TR13.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5356CE3/TR13?
The 1N5356CE3/TR13 is rated for a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 75 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure, making it suitable for clamping inductive kickback or ESD events in motor drive interfaces where the 1N5356CE3/TR13 serves as primary overvoltage protection.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5356CE3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
The 1N5356CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W when leads are trimmed to 10 mm from the body. To maintain safe operation at full 5 W dissipation, PCB layout must ensure adequate copper mass on both leads - typically ≥4 mm² pads with ≥1 mm wide traces - or implement forced-air cooling. Poor thermal path design risks exceeding the 150 °C max junction temperature, degrading long-term reliability of the 1N5356CE3/TR13.
Is the 1N5356CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1N5356CE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating qualified for soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds - fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020). Its T-18 epoxy body meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements and withstands repeated thermal cycling without delamination, ensuring consistent solder joint integrity in production using the 1N5356CE3/TR13.
