Product details
Overview
1N5359/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 100 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 1N5359/TR8 datasheet, 1N5359/TR8 pinout, 1N5359/TR8 application, or 1N5359/TR8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC T-18 package details, RoHS-compliant plating, and direct alternatives with documented voltage/tolerance/power differences.
Technical Context
The 1N5359/TR8 functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable 24 V output across a wide reverse current range (50 mA to 100 mA) with low dynamic impedance (3.5 Ω). Its regulation accuracy is defined by ±5% tolerance and 0.55 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM.
It features a moisture-sensitive Level 1 classification per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. Thermal resistance is 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) and 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - ensures stable reference within 22.8–25.2 V under specified test conditions. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 mA - defines operating point where VZ and ZZ are measured; design must sustain ≥50 mA for rated regulation. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω max at IZT - low impedance minimizes output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 100 mA - maximum continuous reverse current before exceeding 5 W dissipation at TL = 25°C. |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.55 V max - difference between VZ at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating regulation linearity. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - requires ≥3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body for full 5 W rating. |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - supports deployment in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
JEDEC T-18 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by color 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 circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential. |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; held at stable 24 V relative to anode when reverse current ≥50 mA flows. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered T-18 package | Standardized mechanical footprint enabling drop-in replacement and automated axial insertion. |
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Tighter regulation than standard ±10% parts, reducing need for post-regulation trimming in mid-precision designs. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required prior to assembly-simplifies handling and eliminates bake step in SMT reflow prep. |
| RoHS-compliant option (e3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with matte-tin plating; compatible with lead-free soldering profiles up to 260°C/10 s. |
| High surge current rating (IZSM) | 100 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltages without degradation in power supply clamp circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp Circuit |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5359B | Same 24 V ±5%, 5 W rating, but in bulk (non-tape-and-reel) packaging; no TR8 suffix. | Not optimized for automated pick-and-place; suitable for hand-soldered prototypes or low-volume repair. | Select 1N5359B only if tape-and-reel feed is unnecessary and cost-per-unit is prioritized over assembly efficiency. |
| MMBZ5245B (SOT-23) | 24 V ±5%, but 0.35 W rating, surface-mount, 3-pin package (cathode/anode/NC); ZZ = 35 Ω. | Limited to low-power signal-level regulation; cannot replace 1N5359/TR8 in 5 W power-clamp roles. | Choose MMBZ5245B only for space-constrained PCBs where <100 mW dissipation suffices and thermal mass is minimal. |
Compared with 1N5359B and MMBZ5245B, the 1N5359/TR8 uniquely combines 5 W power handling, axial-leaded T-18 form factor, tape-and-reel compatibility (TR8), and industrial temperature range-making it irreplaceable in high-energy clamp and reference applications requiring mechanical robustness and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5359/TR8?
The 1N5359/TR8 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by its "B" suffix per Microsemi's datasheet. This means its regulated voltage falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V at 50 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, and applies to every unit shipped under this part number.
Does the 1N5359/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5359/TR8 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored and assembled without baking or humidity-controlled packaging. This simplifies logistics and eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles-even when using RoHS-compliant (e3) versions with matte-tin plating.
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for the 1N5359/TR8 at 25°C?
The maximum continuous reverse current (IZM) for the 1N5359/TR8 is 100 mA at 25°C lead temperature (TL), corresponding to its 5 W power rating. This value assumes 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. Derating is required above 25°C TL per Figure 1 in the Microsemi datasheet, reaching zero wattage at 150°C TL.
Can the 1N5359/TR8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5359B?
Yes-the 1N5359/TR8 is functionally identical to the 1N5359B in electrical and thermal specifications, differing only in packaging: TR8 denotes tape-and-reel (EIA-296 standard) versus bulk packaging for 1N5359B. Both share the same T-18 outline, ±5% tolerance, 24 V nominal VZ, and 5 W rating. No circuit or layout changes are needed when substituting 1N5359/TR8 for 1N5359B in automated assembly.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N5359/TR8 and how is it defined?
The 1N5359/TR8 has a peak non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) rating of 100 A, defined as the maximum amplitude of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure-critical for use in load-dump protection and industrial surge suppression. The value is validated per Microsemi's test methodology and applies to the full T-18 package configuration.
