Product details
Overview
1N5361BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 27 V, ±5% tolerance, 50 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and 0.6 mA maximum leakage current at 20.6 V reverse voltage. 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 1N5361BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 27 V regulation point, 120 mA maximum DC zener current, 180 W surge rating at 8.3 ms, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic package compatibility with automated through-hole assembly.
Technical Context
The 1N5361BG uses a silicon-oxide passivated junction to achieve tight voltage tolerance and stable regulation across temperature. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA with guaranteed min/typ/max values of 25.65 V / 27 V / 28.35 V, and it maintains low dynamic impedance (ZZT ≤ 50 Ω) under regulated conditions.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) and derating above 25 °C (40 mW/°C). The device supports operation from −65 °C to +200 °C, with DC max junction temperature limited to +150 °C and pulsed limits up to +200 °C at low duty cycle.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5361B | Same electrical specs but SnPb lead finish; no Pb-free compliance | Not suitable for RoHS-regulated medical or consumer products | Select 1N5361BG when Pb-free compliance is mandatory per IPC-J-STD-609 |
| BZX85C27 | 1.3 W rating, 20 Ω ZZT, 27 V ±5%, DO-41 package | Limited to low-power bias networks; cannot sustain 120 mA IZM or 180 W surges | Choose BZX85C27 only for space-constrained PCBs where 5 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5361BG, the 1N5361B lacks RoHS compliance but matches all electrical parameters, while the BZX85C27 trades 5 W power handling and surge robustness for smaller footprint-making 1N5361BG optimal for industrial-grade 27 V regulation where reliability and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5361BG?
The 1N5361BG has a nominal zener voltage of 27 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a min/max range of 25.65 V to 28.35 V at 5 mA test current (IZT). This tight tolerance eliminates need for external trimming in precision feedback loops and ensures consistent regulation across production batches.
What is the maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1N5361BG?
The 1N5361BG supports a maximum DC zener current (IZM) of 120 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating divided by the minimum zener voltage (25.65 V). This allows sustained shunt operation at up to 3.072 W (120 mA × 25.65 V) while maintaining safe junction temperature under proper lead heatsinking.
Does the 1N5361BG have Pb-free construction?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1N5361BG explicitly denotes a Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Lead finish is matte tin, qualified for standard 260 °C wave soldering profiles with 10-second dwell time at 1/16 inch from case body.
What is the zener impedance (ZZT) specification for the 1N5361BG?
The 1N5361BG has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 50 Ω measured at IZT = 5 mA. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage deviation (<0.25 V) when load current varies between 1 mA and 10 mA, making it suitable for high-stability reference applications.
Can the 1N5361BG be used in high-temperature environments like automotive under-hood locations?
Yes, the 1N5361BG is rated for operation from −65 °C to +200 °C, with DC maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. Its silicon-oxide passivated junction and thermosetting plastic package enable reliable performance in automotive engine control units, provided lead thermal resistance (θJL = 25 °C/W) is managed via adequate copper pour or heatsinking.
