Product details
Overview
1N5366B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 39 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 30 Ω at 14 mA test current, and surge rating of 170 A at 8.3 ms. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C and delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage sources.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5366B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 39 V nominal zener voltage, 30 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 14 mA, 170 A non-repetitive surge capability, thermal resistance of 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead), and Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic package with cathode band polarity marking.
Technical Context
The 1N5366B employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction for improved stability and low leakage. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 14 mA with tight ±5% tolerance and temperature coefficient of +0.085 mV/°C (typical for 39 V units), enabling predictable drift compensation in precision references.
It supports DC and pulsed operation up to 200 °C junction temperature under short-duration conditions, with thermal resistance θJL = 25 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length. The device meets Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM) and withstands 180 W transient surges per JEDEC standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5366BRLG | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (4000 pcs/reel) vs. box (1000 pcs) | No functional difference; optimized for automated SMT placement rather than manual/hand-soldered prototyping | Select 1N5366BRLG for high-volume production lines requiring pick-and-place compatibility |
| BZX85C39 | 1.3 W rating, 39 V ±5%, 100 Ω Zener impedance @ 5 mA - lower power and higher impedance than 1N5366B | Suitable only for low-current biasing or signal-level clamping; cannot replace 1N5366B in 5 W power regulation roles | Choose BZX85C39 only where power dissipation remains below 1.3 W and dynamic impedance requirements are relaxed |
Compared with 1N5366B, the 1N5366BRLG offers identical regulation performance with logistics optimization for automated assembly, while BZX85C39 serves lower-power applications but lacks the 5 W capability and 30 Ω impedance needed for robust power-stage referencing.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5366B?
The 1N5366B has a nominal zener voltage of 39 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual zener voltage falls between 37.05 V and 40.95 V at the specified test current of 14 mA. This tolerance is defined per JEDEC standards and applies to all B-suffix devices in the 1N53 series. The 1N5366B achieves this specification using silicon-oxide passivated junction technology for consistent performance across production lots.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal resistance of the 1N5366B?
The 1N5366B is rated for 5 W steady-state power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) of 25 °C with 3/8″ lead length, and features a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (θJL) of 25 °C/W. Derating is required above 25 °C at 40 mW/°C. These values are measured under standardized mounting conditions and define the thermal boundary for safe continuous operation. The 1N5366B must be mounted with leads at least 3/8″ from the case to meet these ratings.
Does the 1N5366B have surge protection capability, and what is its rating?
Yes, the 1N5366B supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 170 A for an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse, corresponding to a peak surge power of 180 W. This rating is validated per JEDEC test methods and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure. The 1N5366B leverages its 5 W power-handling architecture and robust silicon junction to deliver this level of transient immunity in real-world power-line and motor-drive applications.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5366B, and why does it matter?
The 1N5366B has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 30 Ω at its test current (IZT) of 14 mA. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load conditions - critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback loops and reference circuits. Lower ZZT directly improves line and load regulation performance, making the 1N5366B suitable for applications where voltage stability under transient current demand is essential.
Is the 1N5366B RoHS-compliant and what package type does it use?
Yes, the 1N5366B is RoHS-compliant and supplied in a Pb-free Surmetic 40 axial-lead plastic package (JEDEC Case 017AA). The package uses void-free, transfer-molded thermosetting plastic with corrosion-resistant, solderable leads and cathode polarity indicated by a band. Maximum soldering temperature is 260 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case. The 1N5366B meets environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing mechanical robustness or thermal performance.
