Product details
Overview
1N5365BE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 36 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 30 mA test current (IZT), 11 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 160 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) when adequately heat-sunk. It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix), commonly used in DC power supply overvoltage clamping and precision reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5365BE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5365BE3/TR8 pinout, 1N5365BE3/TR8 application, or 1N5365BE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36 V Zener voltage, 5 W steady-state power rating at TL < 25 °C, low 0.65 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ), and compatibility with standard T-18 axial package mounting on FR4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable output voltage across a wide current range (30 mA IZT to 160 mA IZM). Its thermal resistance is 25 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) and 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with defined copper pads.
The 1N5365BE3/TR8 exhibits minimal voltage variation versus current-ΔVZ = 0.65 V between 10% and 50% of IZM-and supports surge currents up to 160 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Its cathode band polarity and moisture sensitivity level 1 classification enable reliable through-hole assembly without dry-pack requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% - precise regulation point for 33–39 V system protection or reference generation |
| Test Current (IZT) | 30 mA - standardized bias point for measuring VZ and dynamic impedance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 11 Ω - low AC resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under load transients |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 160 mA - maximum continuous DC current at TL < 25 °C with adequate heatsinking |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.65 V - difference between VZ measured at 16 mA and 80 mA, indicating regulation linearity |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - defines thermal design margin for lead-mounted operation |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365BRLG | Same 36 V ±5%, 5 W rating, but in bulk packaging (no tape/reel); no TR8 suffix | Identical electrical performance; differs only in packaging format and reel quantity | Select 1N5365BRLG for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 33 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; not a direct power or voltage match | Lower power and different voltage; suitable only for low-current signal-level referencing | Choose MMSZ5245B-TP only where board space constraints prohibit axial T-18 mounting |
Compared with 1N5365BE3/TR8, 1N5365BRLG offers identical regulation performance in non-reel form, while MMSZ5245B-TP trades power capability and voltage accuracy for miniaturization-making it unsuitable for 5 W clamping but viable for low-power biasing where footprint is critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5365BE3/TR8?
The 1N5365BE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its actual regulation voltage falls within 34.2 V to 37.8 V at 30 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Can the 1N5365BE3/TR8 be used without a heatsink?
The 1N5365BE3/TR8 can operate without an external heatsink only at reduced power levels. At ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C) on FR4 with specified copper pads, its steady-state power rating drops to 1.47 W. Full 5 W dissipation requires maintaining lead temperature (TL) below 25 °C-typically achieved with ≥3/8″ lead length and sufficient PCB copper area.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N5365BE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm tape width and 1,000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly. The base device remains electrically and mechanically identical to non-reel variants like 1N5365B or 1N5365BRLG.
Is the 1N5365BE3/TR8 suitable for surge protection?
Yes-the 1N5365BE3/TR8 is rated for 160 A peak surge current (8.3 ms half-sine waveform), making it suitable for transient voltage suppression in DC power lines. Its low ΔVZ (0.65 V) and high IZM (160 mA) ensure predictable clamping behavior during repetitive or single-event overvoltage conditions.
How does the 1N5365BE3/TR8 compare to the 1N4736A?
The 1N5365BE3/TR8 (36 V, 5 W, ±5%) and 1N4736A (36 V, 1 W, ±5%) share the same nominal Zener voltage but differ significantly in power handling and thermal design. The 1N5365BE3/TR8 supports 5× higher continuous current and features a T-18 axial package optimized for lead-based heat transfer, whereas the 1N4736A uses DO-41 packaging with lower power derating.
