Product details
Overview
1N5360BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 25 V, ±5% tolerance, 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode optimized for voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and precision reference applications. It delivers 4.3 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) at 50% and 10% of IZM, supports 50 mA test current (IZT), and operates across –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5360BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5360BE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5360BE3/TR13 application, or 1N5360BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, dynamic impedance (190 Ω max at IZT), surge current rating (110 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current above its specified breakdown threshold. Its low 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W operation with minimal heatsinking when leads are trimmed to 10 mm from body.
Designed for DC regulation under steady-state and transient conditions, it exhibits 0.55 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of IZM, and withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 110 A per JEDEC standard.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25 V ±5% - precise regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight voltage reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25°C - supports high-current regulation without forced cooling when mounted with 10 mm lead length |
| Test Current (IZT) | 50 mA - standardized bias point for measuring VZ and dynamic impedance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 190 Ω max - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 110 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - robust transient suppression capability for input-stage clamping |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.55 V max - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating regulation linearity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA max at VR = 19 V - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable thermal design with simple lead-length-based derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case per JEDEC DO-201AD; void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body; cathode indicated by band; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| 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 | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to voltage to be regulated; sinks current to maintain VZ across load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability with legacy 1N53xxB designs across manufacturers |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for special ESD handling during board assembly and testing |
| RoHS-compliant e3 suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating and lead-free construction |
| Tight thermal resistance control | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead enables accurate thermal modeling using lead length as primary heatsink |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5360B | No e3 suffix; tin-lead plating; not RoHS-compliant | Same electrical specs but unsuitable for lead-free assembly processes | Select 1N5360B only for legacy rework or non-RoHS production environments |
| SMBJ5360B | Surface-mount SMB package; same VZ, IZT, ZZ; 3.0 W rated power | Lower power rating requires derating in high-current applications; no axial mounting flexibility | Choose SMBJ5360B when board space is constrained and thermal management uses PCB copper area |
Compared with 1N5360BE3/TR13, 1N5360B lacks RoHS compliance and requires tin-lead soldering, while SMBJ5360B trades axial-mount versatility and 5 W capability for compact SMT footprint and reduced surge handling - both require layout or process changes.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5360BE3/TR13?
The 1N5360BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 25 V breakdown voltage falls within 23.75 V to 26.25 V at 50 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Can the 1N5360BE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5360BE3/TR13 uses an axial-leaded T-18 (DO-201AD) package and is not compatible with SMT reflow processes. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5360B in SMB package, though it is rated for 3.0 W instead of 5.0 W and requires PCB layout revision.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5360BE3/TR13?
The 1N5360BE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 110 A, defined as the maximum amplitude of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating assumes proper lead length (10 mm from body) and adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation during transient events.
How does the voltage regulation (ΔVZ) specification impact circuit performance with the 1N5360BE3/TR13?
The 1N5360BE3/TR13 specifies a maximum ΔVZ of 0.55 V - the difference between Zener voltage measured at 10% and 50% of its maximum DC current (IZM). This low value ensures stable regulation across wide current swings, making it suitable for precision references where output variation must remain below 2.2% of nominal VZ.
Is the 1N5360BE3/TR13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the 1N5360BE3/TR13 operates across –65°C to +150°C and meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels when ordered with MQ/MX/MV prefixes. While the base e3 version is not pre-screened, its intrinsic ruggedness, ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020), and moisture Level 1 rating support under-hood and powertrain use with appropriate qualification.
