Product details
Overview
1N5364/TR12 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 industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5364/TR12 datasheet, 1N5364/TR12 pinout, 1N5364/TR12 application, or 1N5364/TR12 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC T-18 package details, RoHS-compliant plating, and validated alternative parts for voltage regulation design.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across wide current (10–150 mA) and temperature (–65 °C to +150 °C) ranges. Its low 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W operation with minimal heatsinking at 3/8″ lead length.
Zener voltage is specified at 40 ±10 ms after DC current application, with dynamic impedance measured using 1 kHz AC modulation (10% of IZT). Voltage regulation ΔVZ = 3.5 V reflects difference between voltages at 10% and 50% of IZM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% - Stable regulation point for 24–48 V system references. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 40 mA - Operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed per JEDEC spec. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 10 Ω max - Low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage shift under load transients. |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 150 mA - Maximum continuous DC current at 25 °C lead temperature with proper heatsinking. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL ≤ 25 °C - Rated steady-state power with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body. |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - Enables direct thermal path to PCB copper or chassis for high-current operation. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA max at 25.1 V - Ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
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. Case is void-free UL94V-0 thermosetting epoxy; weight = 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential node; forward VF ≤ 1.2 V @ 1.0 A ensures low-loss biasing. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during reverse-biased Zener operation | Banded end; connected to regulated voltage rail; polarity must be observed for correct shunt regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5364B | Same 33 V ±5%, but in bulk (non-tape-and-reel) packaging; no TR suffix. | Identical electrical performance; differs only in packaging format and reel quantity (TR12 = 12,000 pcs/reel). | Select 1N5364/TR12 for automated SMT placement; choose 1N5364B for hand-soldered prototyping or low-volume repair. |
| MMBZ5265B | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; 33 V ±5%, but rated at 0.5 W (not 5 W); ZZ = 17 Ω max. | Not suitable for high-power clamping; limited to low-current bias/reference use in space-constrained designs. | Use MMBZ5265B only where board space is critical and power dissipation remains below 300 mW; retain 1N5364/TR12 for >1 W applications. |
Compared with 1N5364B and MMBZ5265B, the 1N5364/TR12 uniquely combines 5 W power handling, axial-leaded through-hole mounting, JEDEC-standardized reliability, and tape-and-reel compatibility-making it optimal for industrial power and protection circuits requiring robust, production-ready Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5364/TR12?
The 1N5364/TR12 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the "B" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's datasheet. 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, making the 1N5364/TR12 suitable for precision reference applications where stability matters.
Can 1N5364/TR12 be used without a heatsink?
Yes, the 1N5364/TR12 can operate without an external heatsink at reduced power levels. At 25 °C ambient on FR4 with 4 mm² copper pads, its steady-state power rating drops to 1.47 W. For full 5 W operation, Microsemi specifies a 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body and lead temperature (TL) ≤ 25 °C - achieved via chassis mounting or extended copper pours. Derating curves in Figure 1 of the datasheet define safe operating limits based on TL or TA, and the 1N5364/TR12 must be applied accordingly.
What does the "TR12" suffix mean in 1N5364/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, containing 12,000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume manufacturing. The base device remains electrically and mechanically identical to the bulk-packaged 1N5364B; only the packaging method and reel quantity differ. The "TR" designation is optional and added to the base part number to denote reel configuration - the 1N5364/TR12 retains all specifications of the 1N5364B, including ±5% tolerance, 5 W rating, and T-18 package.
Is 1N5364/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5364/TR12 is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N5364B-e3/TR12). Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions feature annealed matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead, meeting J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1 requirements without dry pack. Standard 1N5364/TR12 may ship with legacy tin-lead plating unless explicitly ordered with e3 - always verify the full orderable part number and datasheet revision to confirm compliance status for your build.
How does 1N5364/TR12 compare to 1N4733A in terms of power and regulation?
The 1N5364/TR12 is a 5 W Zener with 33 V ±5% regulation and 10 Ω dynamic impedance, whereas the 1N4733A is a 1 W device with same nominal voltage but ±5% tolerance and higher 15 Ω ZZ. The 1N5364/TR12 supports 150 mA IZM versus 76 mA for the 1N4733A, and its 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables significantly higher sustained power dissipation. Both share T-18 packaging, but the 1N5364/TR12 is engineered for industrial-grade reliability, surge immunity, and tighter regulation consistency - making it the preferred choice for demanding power supply and protection roles where the 1N4733A would thermally saturate.
