Product details
Overview
1N5358CE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 22 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 3.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 50 mA test current, and 75 mA maximum regulator current when adequately heat-sunk. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5358CE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5358CE3/TR12 pinout, 1N5358CE3/TR12 application, or 1N5358CE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% VZ tolerance, low 3.5 Ω ZZ, 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and T-18 axial package compatibility with manual or wave soldering per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
The 1N5358CE3/TR12 functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable 22 V output across a wide reverse current range (10–75 mA) with minimal voltage drift. Its low dynamic impedance (3.5 Ω) and tight ±2% tolerance ensure high regulation accuracy under varying load and temperature conditions.
Designed for through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it delivers 5.0 W steady-state power at 25 °C lead temperature (3/8″ from body), derating linearly above that point. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1-no dry pack required-and it withstands 260 °C soldering for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V ±2% at 50 mA - ensures precise reference stability for feedback loops in regulated DC-DC converters |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - supports robust overvoltage clamping without external heatsink for moderate-duty cycles |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω max at IZT = 50 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - defines safe continuous operating current limit with adequate heat sinking |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design using lead temperature as proxy for junction temp |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA max at VR = 15.8 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 216 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides transient overvoltage immunity in surge-prone industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (Void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band; leads are annealed matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, RoHS compliant (e3 suffix), weight 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current sink terminal during reverse breakdown | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; must handle full IZ and IZSM currents |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated voltage output node | Provides stable 22 V reference; polarity must be observed-reverse connection causes forward conduction (~1.2 V drop) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables high-accuracy voltage references without post-calibration in analog sensing and feedback circuits |
| JEDEC-registered T-18 package | Ensures mechanical and soldering compatibility with legacy industrial assembly lines and hand-soldering workflows |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and baking steps-reduces handling cost and avoids moisture-induced popcorning |
| 260 °C solder tolerance (10 s) | Supports standard wave and reflow profiles without degradation-no special thermal profiling needed |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces need for ESD controls during board assembly-lowers manufacturing overhead in non-cleanroom settings |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage in isolated flyback or forward converter feedback networks using optocoupler-coupled TL431 alternatives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing precise 22 V threshold to control PWM duty cycle via error amplifier input. Use Value: ±2% VZ tolerance and 3.5 Ω ZZ reduce output regulation error to <±0.5% across line/load/temperature, improving system compliance with EN 61000-3-2. | Use Scenario: Protecting downstream 24 V rail electronics (e.g., PLC I/O modules) from transient surges exceeding 30 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive crowbar element clamping voltage to 22 V + ZZ×Isurge during 8.3 ms lightning-induced transients. Use Value: 216 A surge rating and 25 °C/W RθJL allow single-device clamping without series resistors or active drivers-reducing BOM count and footprint. |
| Programmable Reference Generator | Temperature-Stable Bias Network |
Use Scenario: Generating adjustable reference voltages in analog front-ends for RTD or thermocouple signal conditioning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 22 V source feeding resistor-divider networks to derive sub-1 V or ratiometric references. Use Value: Low ΔVZ (0.45 V) between 10–50% IZM ensures <0.1% reference drift across operating current range-critical for 16-bit ADC accuracy. | Use Scenario: Establishing stable bias points for op-amp input stages in harsh-environment sensor amplifiers (e.g., oil & gas downhole tools). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Temperature-compensated voltage reference replacing higher-cost IC references where -65 °C to +150 °C operation is mandatory. Use Value: Specified operation to +150 °C with <100 ppm/°C typical TC and no derating up to 125 °C-enables direct replacement of MIL-spec references in extended-temp designs. |
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) and 3.5 Ω ZZ; no e3 RoHS marking | Acceptable where ±5% regulation is sufficient and RoHS compliance is not mandated | Select 1N5358B only if legacy qualification or cost sensitivity outweighs precision and environmental requirements |
| MMSZ5247ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 20 V nominal VZ, ±5%, 30 Ω ZZ, 500 mW PD | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs but lacks surge capability (max IZSM ~10 A) and thermal performance for 5 W dissipation | Choose MMSZ5247ET1G only for low-power, high-density layouts where 22 V exactness and 216 A surge immunity are not required |
Compared with 1N5358B and MMSZ5247ET1G, the 1N5358CE3/TR12 uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 5 W power handling, 216 A surge rating, and RoHS compliance in an industry-standard axial package-making it the only option for precision, high-reliability, high-energy clamping in industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5358CE3/TR12?
The 1N5358CE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured VZ at 50 mA test current falls within 21.56 V to 22.44 V at 25 °C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports applications demanding higher reference accuracy than the standard ±5% (B suffix) or ±10% (A suffix) variants.
Does the 1N5358CE3/TR12 require dry packing or baking before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5358CE3/TR12 does not require dry packing or baking prior to assembly. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, confirmed in the official Microsemi datasheet. This eliminates moisture-related risks like popcorning during reflow or wave soldering, simplifying handling and reducing manufacturing overhead.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5358CE3/TR12?
The 1N5358CE3/TR12 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) rating of 216 A, specified as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and enables reliable transient suppression in industrial environments subject to lightning-induced surges or inductive switching spikes.
Can the 1N5358CE3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5358CE3/TR12 is an axial-leaded T-18 package device and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5358B (DO-214AA) and SMBG5358B (DO-214AB) variants. These share the same 22 V ±2% electrical characteristics but differ in thermal performance and mounting method.
What is the forward voltage specification for the 1N5358CE3/TR12?
The forward voltage (VF) of the 1N5358CE3/TR12 is specified as a maximum of 1.2 V at 1.0 A forward current. This parameter applies only when the device is operated in forward conduction mode (anode positive relative to cathode), which is outside its intended Zener regulation use case-but relevant for reverse-polarity protection or rectifier fallback analysis.
