Product details
Overview
1N5365/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 36 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 30 mA test current, 11 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum surge current of 160 A for 8.3 ms. 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 1N5365/TR12 datasheet, 1N5365/TR12 pinout, 1N5365/TR12 application, or 1N5365/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), steady-state power rating (5 W at TL < 25°C), reverse leakage (<0.5 µA at 25.9 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. Its Zener voltage is specified at 36 V ±5% under 30 mA DC test current, with low dynamic impedance (11 Ω) ensuring stable regulation across load variations. The 25 °C/W thermal resistance enables high-current operation when mounted with 3/8″ lead length from body.
It exhibits minimal voltage regulation drift (ΔVZ = 3.3 V between 10% and 50% of IZM), withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 160 A, and maintains ≤0.5 µA reverse leakage at 25.9 V - critical for low-power standby circuits and precision biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% - defines regulated output level in shunt regulator designs |
| Test Current (IZT) | 30 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 11 Ω at IZT - low AC impedance ensures tight voltage regulation under varying load |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 160 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - allows 5 W dissipation with modest heatsinking at lead |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at 25.9 V - enables low-quiescent-current bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365B | Same 36 V ±5%, but in bulk packaging (no TR12 tape-and-reel); identical electrical specs | Not optimized for automated pick-and-place; requires manual or bulk-feed placement | Select 1N5365/TR12 for SMT production; choose 1N5365B for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 36 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; ZZ = 25 Ω at 10 mA | Limited to low-power applications; unsuitable for >500 mW continuous dissipation | Use MMSZ5245B-TP only where board space is constrained and power <0.5 W; retain 1N5365/TR12 for 5 W thermal capability |
Compared with 1N5365B and MMSZ5245B-TP, the 1N5365/TR12 uniquely combines 5 W power handling, axial-leaded through-hole compatibility, tape-and-reel automation support, and industrial temperature range - making it optimal for high-reliability power regulation where thermal margin and assembly scalability matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5365/TR12?
The 1N5365/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its full designation. This means its measured VZ falls between 34.2 V and 37.8 V at 30 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The tolerance is guaranteed per JEDEC specification and verified during 100% lot testing.
Does the 1N5365/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5365/TR12 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, meaning it is non-hygroscopic and safe for standard storage and reflow without baking or moisture barrier bags - simplifying inventory and assembly logistics.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N5365/TR12 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length), the 1N5365/TR12 has a steady-state power rating of 1.47 W at 25°C ambient. Derating begins above 25°C at 11.8 mW/°C, reaching zero at 150°C ambient - consistent with its 85°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Can the 1N5365/TR12 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N5365B in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N5365/TR12 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 1N5365B except for packaging: both share identical Zener voltage, tolerance, dynamic impedance, thermal resistance, and temperature range. The "TR12" suffix denotes EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging for automated placement - no circuit or layout changes are needed.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N5365/TR12?
The 1N5365/TR12 specifies maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA at 25.9 V (90% of nominal VZ). This value is measured at 25°C and reflects the device's ability to maintain low standby current in bias and reference applications - critical for battery-powered or energy-efficient systems.
