Product details
Overview
1N5364E3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 33 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 40 mA test current, 10 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 150 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) 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 1N5364E3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5364E3/TR12 pinout, 1N5364E3/TR12 application, or 1N5364E3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under varying load current, 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
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown mode, with Zener voltage defined at 40 mA test current and specified with ±5% tolerance. Its low dynamic impedance (10 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation across 10–50% of IZM, and its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables stable 5 W dissipation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
The 1N5364E3/TR12 features a void-free thermosetting epoxy T-18 package rated UL94V-0, cathode band polarity marking, and 0.7 g mass. It withstands 260 °C soldering for 10 s and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines stable regulation point for feedback loops and reference circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 40 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed per JEDEC spec |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 10 Ω max at IZT - ensures <1 V deviation over 10–50% IZM load range |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 150 mA at TL ≤ 25 °C - supports 5 W continuous dissipation with proper lead heatsinking |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 150 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles transient overvoltage events without failure |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 3.5 V max - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating regulation linearity |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables predictable temperature rise under full power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5364B | Same 33 V, ±5%, 5 W rating but non-RoHS tin-lead plating; no e3 suffix | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires Pb-based solder process | Select only if legacy Pb-process compatibility is mandatory and RoHS exemption applies |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 33 V, ±5%, 500 mW - not power-equivalent | Cannot replace 1N5364E3/TR12 in 5 W applications without parallel devices or derating | Use only for low-power signal-level references where board space is constrained and thermal design permits |
Compared with 1N5364B and MMSZ5256ET1G, the 1N5364E3/TR12 uniquely combines axial-leaded serviceability, full 5 W dissipation, RoHS compliance, and JEDEC-standardized mounting - making it optimal for industrial power designs requiring field-replaceable, high-energy clamping.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5364E3/TR12?
The 1N5364E3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix designation in the 1N53xxB family. This tolerance is verified at 40 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Can the 1N5364E3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5364E3/TR12 uses an axial-leaded T-18 package and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5364B (DO-214AA) and SMBG5364B (DO-214AB), both rated for 5 W and sharing identical 33 V/±5% specifications. The 1N5364E3/TR12 requires through-hole mounting with ≥3/8″ lead length for thermal management.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N5364E3/TR12 at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient on FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pads), the 1N5364E3/TR12 derates to approximately 2.9 W, calculated using its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 150 °C max junction temperature. Full 5 W operation requires lead temperature ≤25 °C, achieved via heatsinking or short lead lengths per Figure 1 derating curve.
Does the 1N5364E3/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes - the "e3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance: matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, and full conformance to Directive 2011/65/EU. No lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed threshold limits, and the device is qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
How does the voltage regulation (ΔVZ) specification impact circuit performance for the 1N5364E3/TR12?
The 1N5364E3/TR12 specifies ΔVZ = 3.5 V - the difference between Zener voltage measured at 10% and 50% of IZM (15 mA and 75 mA). This quantifies regulation linearity: a lower ΔVZ indicates tighter voltage stability across load changes. At 33 V nominal, this represents ~10.6% variation, which must be accounted for in precision reference designs using series resistors or active compensation.
