Product details
Overview
1N5358C/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 22 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 50 mA test current (IZT), 3.5 Ω 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 1N5358C/TR12 datasheet, 1N5358C/TR12 pinout, 1N5358C/TR12 application, or 1N5358C/TR12 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC T-18 package details, and validated alternatives for industrial power regulation design.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference, maintaining stable reverse-biased conduction above its 22 V Zener breakdown threshold. Its low 3.5 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage variation across 10–50% of IZM (7.5–37.5 mA), and its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable 5 W operation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
The 1N5358C/TR12 exhibits 0.45 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM, and withstands 4.7 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine). Its cathode band marking and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating comply with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V ±2% - precise regulation point for feedback sensing at 50 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25°C (3/8″ lead length) - defines maximum continuous DC power under specified thermal mounting |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω - low AC impedance ensures <0.5 V output shift across 30 mA operating current range |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - maximum DC current before exceeding 5 W at upper-tolerance VZ (22.44 V) |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.45 V - difference between VZ measured at 7.5 mA and 37.5 mA, indicating tight regulation linearity |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 4.7 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - peak transient capability for short-duration overvoltage events |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with simple lead-length heat sinking, not PCB copper area dependent |
Pinout & Package
JEDEC T-18 axial-leaded plastic package (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body); cathode identified by colored band; leads plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or ground; reverse bias applied to cathode for regulation |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Allows full 5 W operation with only 3/8″ lead length heat sinking-no PCB copper pour required |
| 0.45 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) | Ensures ≤2.05% output variation across 10–50% of rated current, critical for stable LDO or SMPS references |
| RoHS-compliant e3 marking & matte-tin plating | Guarantees lead-free assembly compatibility and MIL-STD-750 solderability without flux residue concerns |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 (J-STD-020B) | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life restrictions-ready for immediate reflow or hand-soldering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5358B/TR12 | ±5% tolerance (B suffix) vs. ±2% (C suffix); identical VZ nominal, IZT, ZZ, IZM, and package | Acceptable where 22 V ±1.1 V (vs. ±0.44 V) regulation accuracy suffices | Select 1N5358B/TR12 for cost-sensitive industrial controls where tighter tolerance is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5247ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 20 V nominal, ±5%; 500 mW rating; 22 Ω ZZ; 20 mA IZM | Not suitable for 5 W dissipation; limited to low-power bias/reference roles | Choose MMSZ5247ET1G only for space-constrained PCBs with <100 mW Zener loading and 20 V requirement |
Compared with 1N5358C/TR12, the 1N5358B/TR12 trades ±2% accuracy for lower unit cost while retaining identical thermal and surge performance; MMSZ5247ET1G offers footprint reduction but sacrifices 90% power handling and voltage precision-neither is pin-compatible or drop-in.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5358C/TR12?
The 1N5358C/TR12 has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's datasheet revision D. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls between 21.56 V and 22.44 V at 50 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The 1N5358C/TR12 achieves this tighter tolerance via post-package sorting and screening, distinguishing it from the ±5% 1N5358B/TR12 variant.
Can the 1N5358C/TR12 be used without a heatsink?
Yes-the 1N5358C/TR12 can dissipate its full 5 W rating without an external heatsink when mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the epoxy body, leveraging its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. However, at ambient temperatures above 25°C or with shorter leads, derating per Figure 1 is required. The 1N5358C/TR12 is not rated for 5 W on standard FR4 PCBs without additional copper area.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate for the 1N5358C/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix on the 1N5358C/TR12 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12,000 units per reel. This format supports automated SMT placement despite the axial-leaded T-18 package, enabling high-volume manufacturing. The 1N5358C/TR12 retains all electrical and thermal specifications of the bulk version, with no performance impact from the packaging method.
How does the 1N5358C/TR12 handle surge conditions?
The 1N5358C/TR12 is rated for 4.7 A peak non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) in an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, per JEDEC test method. This capability allows it to clamp transient overvoltages-such as those from inductive kickback or ESD-without parametric shift or failure. The 1N5358C/TR12's robust construction and low thermal mass enable rapid energy absorption, making it suitable for industrial I/O protection.
Is the 1N5358C/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes-the 1N5358C/TR12 carries the "e3" designation per Microsemi documentation, confirming RoHS compliance with lead-free matte-tin plating and UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation. It meets J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1, eliminating dry-pack requirements. The 1N5358C/TR12 is qualified for Pb-free reflow processes up to 260°C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
