Product details
Overview
1N5358E3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 22 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 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 1N5358E3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5358E3/TR12 pinout, 1N5358E3/TR12 application, or 1N5358E3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under varying load current, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (4.7 A), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 50 mA test current (IZT), with voltage regulation (ΔVZ) of 0.45 V between 10% and 50% of IZM and dynamic impedance (ZZ) ≤3.5 Ω under those conditions.
The 1N5358E3/TR12 features low thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead at 10 mm lead length), enabling stable regulation at high DC currents when mounted with adequate heat sinking. It meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity and withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 4.7 A.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5358B | Same 22 V, ±5% Zener voltage and 5 W rating, but SnPb lead finish (non-RoHS) | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires exemption documentation | Select 1N5358E3/TR12 for new designs requiring lead-free compliance and tape-and-reel packaging |
| SMBJ5358B | Surface-mount SMB package; identical 22 V/±5%/5 W specs but higher thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient ≈ 85 °C/W) | Requires PCB layout change; less effective heat dissipation without large copper pads | Choose SMBJ5358B only when board space constraints prohibit axial-leaded components |
Compared with 1N5358B and SMBJ5358B, the 1N5358E3/TR12 offers RoHS compliance and optimized thermal performance in axial form factor-ideal for through-hole power supply references where lead-based solder is prohibited and thermal management relies on chassis or heatsink mounting.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5358E3/TR12?
The 1N5358E3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix designation in the 1N53xxB family. This means its actual regulation voltage falls between 20.9 V and 23.1 V at 50 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature, as confirmed in the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table.
Does the 1N5358E3/TR12 require dry packing before use?
No, the 1N5358E3/TR12 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, meaning it is safe for standard assembly processes-including wave soldering and hand soldering-without prior baking or humidity-controlled storage.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5358E3/TR12 on a standard PCB?
When mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N5358E3/TR12 delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25°C ambient. This is derived from its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and must be derated linearly above 25°C per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Can the 1N5358E3/TR12 be used in place of the 1N5358B?
Yes, the 1N5358E3/TR12 is functionally interchangeable with the 1N5358B for voltage regulation purposes, sharing identical electrical specs (22 V, ±5%, 5 W). However, the 1N5358E3/TR12 uses RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating versus SnPb on the 1N5358B, making it suitable for lead-free manufacturing environments.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N5358E3/TR12 and how is it defined?
The 1N5358E3/TR12 has a peak non-repetitive surge current rating of 4.7 A, defined as the maximum amplitude of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in 24 V industrial systems without device failure, provided surge duty cycle remains low and average power stays within 5 W limits.
