Product details
Overview
1N5364B/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 33 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 10 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 40 mA test current, and 150 mA maximum Zener current when adequately heat-sunk. It operates from –65°C to +150°C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5364B/TR8 datasheet, 1N5364B/TR8 pinout, 1N5364B/TR8 application, or 1N5364B/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (150 A), low voltage regulation drift (ΔVZ = 3.5 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
The 1N5364B/TR8 functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable 33 V output across wide operating current (1–150 mA) and temperature (–65°C to +150°C) ranges. Its low 10 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients.
Designed for axial-lead through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it delivers 1.47 W steady-state power at 25°C ambient (85 °C/W junction-to-ambient) and up to 5 W at 25°C lead temperature (3/8″ from body). Polarity is marked by cathode band; device operates with banded end positive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% - defines regulated output level for feedback and clamp circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 40 mA - standardized bias point for VZ measurement and impedance characterization |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 10 Ω max - ensures <0.4 V deviation over 10–50% IZM range |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 150 mA - maximum continuous DC current at 25°C lead temperature with heat sinking |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 150 A - peak non-repetitive half-sine (8.3 ms) capability for transient suppression |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 3.5 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating regulation linearity |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - junction-to-lead, enabling thermal design with 3/8″ lead length from body |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (Void-free transfer-molded thermosetting epoxy, UL94V-0 rated); leads plated with RoHS-compliant annealed matte tin, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026; cathode indicated by band.

| Cathode | Current source terminal during reverse breakdown | Banded end; connected to higher-potential node (e.g., supply rail or feedback node) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures industry-standard mechanical and electrical interchangeability across suppliers |
| ±5% voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Enables tighter regulation than ±10% (A) or ±20% (no suffix) variants without premium cost |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints for assembly |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for ESD-protected workstations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5364B (non-TR8) | Same electrical specs; differs only in packaging - bulk vs. tape-and-reel (TR8 = EIA-296 standard 8 mm tape) | No functional difference; TR8 enables automated pick-and-place assembly | Select 1N5364B/TR8 for SMT production lines requiring reel-fed feeders |
| MMBZ5265B (SOT-23) | Surface-mount package; same 33 V ±5%, but lower 0.5 W power rating and 100 mA IZM | Not suitable for 5 W dissipation; limited to low-power bias/reference roles | Choose MMBZ5265B only when board space is constrained and power <0.5 W |
Compared with 1N5364B/TR8, the bulk 1N5364B offers identical performance but requires manual or tube-based placement, while MMBZ5265B trades power capability for miniaturization-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages and thermal limits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5364B/TR8?
The 1N5364B/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix per Microsemi's documentation. This means its nominal 33 V regulation falls within 31.35 V to 34.65 V at 40 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 all units bearing the B suffix in the 1N5333B–1N5388B family.
Can the 1N5364B/TR8 be used without a heatsink?
The 1N5364B/TR8 can operate without an external heatsink only at reduced power levels. At 25°C ambient on FR4 with 1 oz copper and specified pad geometry, its steady-state power is limited to 1.47 W. Full 5 W operation requires maintaining lead temperature (TL) at ≤25°C, typically achieved with ≥3/8″ lead length from body and adequate copper pour. Derating curves in the datasheet must be followed for safe operation above 25°C ambient.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N5364B/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix in 1N5364B/TR8 indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, using 8 mm carrier tape. This format supports automated surface-mount assembly equipment. Electrically and mechanically, 1N5364B/TR8 is identical to the bulk-packaged 1N5364B; the TR8 designation affects only packaging, not specifications, reliability, or performance. Reel quantity is typically 1,000 units per reel.
Is the 1N5364B/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5364B/TR8 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in Microsemi's official documentation and product marking. Its leads feature RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and is rated for soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5364B/TR8?
The 1N5364B/TR8 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) rating of 150 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating enables transient suppression in industrial power rails and input-stage clamping. Surge capability assumes proper PCB layout (e.g., short traces, adequate copper) and is not intended for repetitive application. Exceeding this rating risks irreversible junction damage.
