Product details
Overview
1N5358/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 22 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 50 mA test current, 3.5 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum surge current of 4.7 A (8.3 ms half-sine). It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5358/TR12 datasheet, 1N5358/TR12 pinout, 1N5358/TR12 application, or 1N5358/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under varying load/temperature, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), low voltage regulation ΔVZ (0.45 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 50 mA test current (IZT) with 3.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), ensuring minimal voltage deviation under load changes.
Thermal design relies on lead-length-dependent junction-to-lead resistance (25 °C/W at 10 mm lead length) and supports up to 5 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 25 °C. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.5 μA at VR = 16.7 V, and forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 1.0 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V ±5% - stable regulation point for 24 V rail clamping and reference generation |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed per JEDEC spec |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω - low AC resistance ensures tight voltage regulation under dynamic load shifts |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 4.7 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without failure |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires ≥10 mm lead length or heatsinking for full rating |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 16.7 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable thermal rise with measured lead temperature |
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.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lowest potential; defines return path for Zener current |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated voltage node | Provides stable 22 V output when reverse-biased; must be connected to supply rail being regulated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5358B | Same electrical specs, but in bulk (non-tape-and-reel) packaging; no TR suffix | Not optimized for automated SMT placement; suitable for manual prototyping or low-volume repair | Select 1N5358/TR12 for high-volume production requiring EIA-296 tape-and-reel delivery |
| MMBZ5248B-TP | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; 22 V ±5%, but lower 0.5 W rating and higher 20 Ω ZZ | Limited to low-power signal-level regulation; unsuitable for 5 W dissipation or surge clamping | Choose MMBZ5248B-TP only for space-constrained PCBs where power and surge demands are <100 mW |
Compared with 1N5358B and MMBZ5248B-TP, the 1N5358/TR12 uniquely delivers 5 W axial-leaded regulation with JEDEC-standard thermal resistance and surge capability-making it irreplaceable in industrial power rails requiring both precision and ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of 1N5358/TR12?
The 1N5358/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix per Microsemi's documentation. This means the actual VZ falls between 20.9 V and 23.1 V at 50 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), and the device is JEDEC-registered to ensure consistent performance versus other 1N53xxB family members.
Does 1N5358/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5358/TR12 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow soldering. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body and matte-tin plating eliminate moisture absorption risk, supporting direct use from reel in standard assembly processes without preconditioning.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1N5358/TR12?
The 1N5358/TR12 is rated for 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation when lead temperature (TL) is maintained below 25 °C, measured at 10 mm (3/8 inch) from the body. Derating is required above that temperature-e.g., at TL = 75 °C, max power drops to 3.75 W. On FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, its thermal resistance rises to 85 °C/W, limiting usable power to ~1.47 W at 25 °C ambient.
How is polarity marked on the 1N5358/TR12 package?
The 1N5358/TR12 uses a cathode band marking: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the more positive potential in the circuit. When operated correctly as a shunt regulator, the cathode supplies the regulated 22 V output while the unbanded (anode) terminal connects to system ground or the return path. Reversing polarity subjects the device to forward conduction and invalidates regulation behavior.
Is 1N5358/TR12 suitable for surge protection in automotive applications?
Yes-the 1N5358/TR12 is rated for 4.7 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine waveform), making it suitable for clamping load-dump transients on 24 V vehicle subsystems. Its –65 °C to +150 °C operating range, MIL-STD-750 ESD qualification, and robust epoxy encapsulation meet key automotive environmental requirements, though system-level validation per ISO 7637-2 remains necessary.
