Product details
Overview
1N5358AE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 22 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), 50 mA test current, 3.5 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse current of 0.5 μA at 17.6 V. It operates from –65°C to +150°C and is used for voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5358AE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5358AE3/TR12 pinout, 1N5358AE3/TR12 application, or 1N5358AE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (4.7 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 0.45 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference by maintaining stable reverse-bias conduction above its specified Zener breakdown voltage. Its 22 V nominal regulation point is defined at 50 mA test current with ±10% tolerance, and it exhibits low dynamic impedance (3.5 Ω) to minimize voltage variation under load changes.
The diode uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and is rated for 5.0 W steady-state dissipation at 25°C lead temperature (3/8" from body). Thermal resistance is 25 °C/W junction-to-lead and 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, ±10% tolerance - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 mA - operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are specified |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω at IZT - low impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift with current variation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5358B | Same 22 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) vs. ±10% (A suffix); identical package, thermal, and surge ratings | Higher precision regulation required where tighter voltage stability is critical | Select 1N5358B when ±5% tolerance is needed; 1N5358AE3/TR12 remains optimal for cost-sensitive designs accepting ±10% |
| MMBZ5247BS | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 20 V nominal VZ, ±5%, 200 mW power rating - not a direct replacement due to power and package mismatch | Low-power portable electronics requiring space-constrained layout and reflow compatibility | Choose MMBZ5247BS only for PCB area-limited, low-current (<5 mA) applications; 1N5358AE3/TR12 is required for 5 W dissipation and axial mounting |
Compared with 1N5358B and MMBZ5247BS, the 1N5358AE3/TR12 provides the only combination of 5 W power handling, axial-leaded T-18 package, and ±10% 22 V regulation - making it uniquely suited for industrial power supply feedback and surge-clamp roles where thermal mass and lead-forming flexibility matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5358AE3/TR12?
The 1N5358AE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±10%, indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number. Its nominal regulation voltage is 22 V, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 19.8 V and 24.2 V at 50 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is the 1N5358AE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5358AE3/TR12 is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" suffix. Its leads feature annealed matte-tin plating that meets RoHS requirements and is solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. The device uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation rated UL94V-0 and requires no dry pack due to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5358AE3/TR12?
The 1N5358AE3/TR12 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 4.7 A, specified for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated under standardized test conditions and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure - critical for overvoltage protection in industrial power systems.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5358AE3/TR12 affect PCB layout?
The 1N5358AE3/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W, meaning lead temperature directly correlates with junction temperature. For reliable 5 W operation, leads must be kept at ≤25°C - achieved by minimizing thermal path resistance via wide copper traces, thermal vias, or external heatsinking. Its junction-to-ambient rating (85 °C/W) assumes specific FR4 board layout (4 mm² pads, 1 mm trace width, 25 mm length).
Can the 1N5358AE3/TR12 be used in place of the 1N5358B?
The 1N5358AE3/TR12 can be used in place of the 1N5358B only where ±10% Zener voltage tolerance is acceptable. Both share identical package, power rating, surge current, and thermal specifications, but the 1N5358B offers tighter ±5% tolerance. Substitution requires verification that system regulation margins accommodate the wider 19.8–24.2 V range of the 1N5358AE3/TR12.
