Product details
Overview
1N5356E3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 19 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 65 mA test current (IZT), 3.0 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 75 mA maximum regulator current (IZM). It operates from –65°C to +150°C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5356E3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5356E3/TR8 pinout, 1N5356E3/TR8 application, or 1N5356E3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (20 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.40 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 cathode-banded polarity. Its regulation performance is specified at 25 °C lead temperature (TL), with voltage measured 40 ±10 ms after DC current application and dynamic impedance derived from 1 kHz AC modulation at 10% of IZT.
The 1N5356E3/TR8 exhibits low voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.40 V between 10% and 50% of IZM), tight dynamic knee impedance (ZZK = 250 Ω @ 1.0 mA), and high surge capability (20 A half-sine, 8.3 ms) - enabling stable clamping under transient load conditions without thermal runaway when properly heat-sunk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 19 V ±5% - sets precise clamp/reference level in feedback or protection circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 65 mA - defines operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.0 Ω max - ensures minimal output voltage shift under varying load current |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - maximum continuous DC current before exceeding 5 W power limit at TL = 25°C |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.40 V - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating regulation linearity |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 20 A - peak non-repetitive half-sine (8.3 ms) clamping capability for transient suppression |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables high-power operation with simple lead-length heat sinking |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band; leads plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026; weight 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5356B | No e3 RoHS suffix; SnPb lead finish; same VZ, IZT, ZZ, IZM, and package | Not compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; restricted for new designs in regulated markets | Select 1N5356B only for legacy repair or non-RoHS environments requiring SnPb solder compatibility |
| MMSZ5247ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 19 V ±5%; 20 mA IZT; 30 Ω ZZ; 1 W power rating | Limited to low-power applications; unsuitable for 5 W continuous dissipation or high-surge scenarios | Choose MMSZ5247ET1G only for space-constrained PCBs where thermal mass and surge demands are ≤1 W and ≤1 A |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5356E3/TR8?
The 1N5356E3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 19 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix designation in the 1N53xxB family. This tolerance is verified at 25 °C lead temperature with 65 mA test current and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C.
Does the 1N5356E3/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5356E3/TR8 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry pack or floor-life controls prior to reflow soldering - simplifying logistics and eliminating bake-out steps in manufacturing.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N5356E3/TR8 at 25°C ambient?
When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm trace, the 1N5356E3/TR8 dissipates up to 1.47 W continuously at 25°C ambient. At 25°C lead temperature (3/8″ from body), it sustains the full 5 W rating - requiring adequate lead-length heat sinking for full-power operation.
Can the 1N5356E3/TR8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5356B?
Yes, the 1N5356E3/TR8 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 1N5356B except for RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating instead of SnPb. Both share identical VZ, IZT, ZZ, IZM, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics - making them drop-in replacements where RoHS compliance is required.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5356E3/TR8 at 15.2 V?
At VR = 15.2 V (80% of 19 V nominal), the 1N5356E3/TR8 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA, as specified for B-suffix devices in the 1N53xxB family. This low leakage supports high-impedance sensing and low-quiescent-current applications.
