Product details
Overview
1N5359B/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 24 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 3.5 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 50 mA test current, and 75 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) when adequately heat-sunk. 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 1N5359B/TR8 datasheet, 1N5359B/TR8 pinout, 1N5359B/TR8 application, or 1N5359B/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (100 A), reverse leakage (<0.5 µA at 19.4 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference where cathode (banded end) is biased positive relative to anode. Its regulation relies on controlled reverse breakdown with minimal ΔVZ (0.55 V) between 10% and 50% of IZM, ensuring stable output under varying load currents.
The 1N5359B/TR8 uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), achieves moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required), and supports tape-and-reel packaging (TR8 suffix denotes EIA-296 compliant reel). Thermal performance is specified for 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% - precise regulation point at 50 mA test current; defines stable reference voltage under normal operation. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - maximum steady-state power handling with adequate heat sinking at lead temperature. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω max @ IZT = 50 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage variation with small current changes. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - maximum DC current before exceeding 5 W at VZ = 24 V; determines usable current range. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.5 µA @ VR = 19.4 V - extremely low off-state conduction preserves efficiency in standby or high-impedance bias networks. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 100 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation. |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.55 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM; quantifies regulation linearity. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Weight: 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Biased positive relative to anode; delivers stable 24 V reference or clamping voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures standardized electrical behavior and interchangeability across qualified suppliers. |
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Enables tighter regulation than ±10% (A) or ±20% (no suffix) variants for critical references. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints-ready for immediate SMT/reflow or hand-soldering. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for ESD-safe workstations during assembly. |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with matte-tin plating-no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5359B (bulk) | No TR8 tape-and-reel packaging; same electrical specs, thermal resistance, and marking. | Suitable for manual prototyping or low-volume hand assembly; not optimized for automated pick-and-place. | Select 1N5359B/TR8 for SMT production lines requiring EIA-296 compliant reels; choose bulk for lab evaluation or repair stock. |
| MMSZ5242B-TP (Micro Commercial Components) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package (0.5 W), 24 V ±5%, ZZ = 30 Ω @ 20 mA - higher impedance, lower power, smaller footprint. | Used in space-constrained consumer electronics; lacks surge rating and thermal mass for industrial 5 W duty. | Choose MMSZ5242B-TP only for low-power, board-area-limited designs where 100 A surge immunity and 5 W dissipation are unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N5359B/TR8, the bulk variant offers identical regulation but no automated assembly support, while MMSZ5242B-TP trades power handling and surge robustness for miniaturization-making 1N5359B/TR8 optimal for ruggedized 24 V industrial systems requiring long-term stability and transient resilience.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5359B/TR8?
The 1N5359B/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix per Microsemi's documentation. This tolerance is verified at 50 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N5359B/TR8 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C, making it suitable for precision reference applications where stability is critical.
Does the 1N5359B/TR8 require dry packing before use?
No, the 1N5359B/TR8 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry packing or floor-life controls. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation prevents moisture ingress, allowing immediate use in reflow or hand-soldering processes without baking or special handling-unlike higher-MSL discrete components.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5359B/TR8?
The 1N5359B/TR8 is rated for a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 100 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure, supporting robust overvoltage protection in industrial 24 V control systems where lightning-induced surges or inductive kickback may occur.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5359B/TR8 affect its power handling?
The 1N5359B/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W when mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. At 25 °C ambient, this allows full 5 W dissipation; above that, derating applies linearly. For example, at 75 °C lead temperature, maximum power drops to 3.75 W. Proper heatsinking of the leads is essential to maintain reliability in continuous 24 V regulation applications.
Is the 1N5359B/TR8 RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the 1N5359B/TR8 is RoHS-compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in Microsemi's official documentation. It features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating on annealed copper leads, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restriction of hazardous substances-including absence of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
