Product details
Overview
1N5359B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 24 V, ±5% tolerance, 50 Ω maximum zener impedance at 3.5 mA test current, and 198 A peak surge current rating for 8.3 ms pulses. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in DC power supply feedback paths, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5359B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 24 V regulation point, 5 W steady-state dissipation capability, 198 A surge rating, low leakage (0.55 mA at 18.2 V), and axial plastic package (Case 017AA) suitable for through-hole PCB assembly and high-reliability industrial environments.
Technical Context
The 1N5359B employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction to achieve tight voltage tolerance and stable regulation across temperature. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 3.5 mA with guaranteed min/typ/max values of 22.8 V / 24 V / 25.2 V and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 10 V, typical for 24 V units.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) and derating above 25 °C (40 mW/°C). The device supports pulsed operation up to 200 °C junction temperature under low-duty-cycle conditions, while DC operation is limited to 150 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5359BRLG | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (4000 pcs/reel) vs. bulk box (1000 pcs) | Optimized for automated SMT placement; requires reel feeder setup and orientation verification | Select for high-volume production where pick-and-place efficiency outweighs manual assembly flexibility |
| BZX85C24 | 1.3 W rating, 20 Ω ZZT, 24 V ±5%, TO-204AA metal can package | Lower power handling limits use to <100 mA continuous; metal case offers better thermal conduction but larger footprint | Select when board space permits metal-can thermal performance and legacy design compatibility is required |
Compared with 1N5359B, the 1N5359BRLG offers identical regulation performance in automated manufacturing, while the BZX85C24 trades 5 W capability for smaller thermal mass and legacy metal-can reliability-neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N5359B at 25°C?
The 1N5359B has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at lead temperature (TL) = 25°C with 3/8 inch lead length. Derating is required above 25°C at 40 mW/°C, reducing usable power to 4 W at 50°C ambient. This rating assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat sinking via leads.
Does the 1N5359B meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, the 1N5359B is offered in Pb-free packaging (indicated by "G" suffix) and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It supports lead-free reflow and wave soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, per onsemi's Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5359B and why does it matter?
The 1N5359B has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 50 Ω at IZT = 3.5 mA. This low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load currents-critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback loops and reference circuits.
Can the 1N5359B be used for transient voltage suppression in industrial environments?
Yes, the 1N5359B supports up to 198 A peak non-repetitive surge current for 8.3 ms pulses, making it suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge protection in 24 V industrial control systems. Its 5 W power rating and 25 °C/W thermal resistance enable reliable clamping without thermal runaway.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of the 1N5359B?
The 1N5359B exhibits a positive temperature coefficient typical for 24 V Zeners-approximately +0.08%/°C near 25°C. This means its zener voltage increases ~19 mV/°C, enabling predictable compensation in temperature-stable references when combined with negative-coefficient components.
