Product details
Overview
1N5366BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 39 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 30 mA test current (IZT), 14 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and 170 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at 25 °C lead temperature. 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 1N5366BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5366BE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5366BE3/TR13 application, or 1N5366BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (170 A), low voltage regulation drift (ΔVZ = 3.1 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased mode, maintaining stable output voltage across wide current (10–170 mA) and temperature (–65 °C to +150 °C) ranges. Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W operation with minimal heatsinking when leads are trimmed to 10 mm.
The 1N5366BE3/TR13 exhibits low dynamic impedance (14 Ω at 30 mA) and tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 3.1 V between 10% and 50% IZM), supporting stable reference generation in analog circuits and feedback loops. Its cathode band marking and axial T-18 package support manual and automated through-hole assembly.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5366BRLG | Same 39 V ±5%, but in bulk packaging (no tape/reel); identical electrical specs and T-18 package | No reel logistics-suitable for low-volume prototyping or hand-soldered repair | Select 1N5366BRLG when tape-and-reel automation is unnecessary and cost-per-unit is prioritized |
| MMSZ5267ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 39 V ±5%; lower power (500 mW); 17 Ω ZZ; 10 mA IZT | Not drop-in compatible-requires PCB redesign; limited surge capability (1.2 A) | Choose MMSZ5267ET1G only for space-constrained designs where 5 W dissipation is not required |
Compared with 1N5366BE3/TR13, 1N5366BRLG offers identical performance in bulk form, while MMSZ5267ET1G trades power handling and surge robustness for miniaturization-making the 1N5366BE3/TR13 optimal for high-energy clamp and reference roles in industrial hardware.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5366BE3/TR13?
The 1N5366BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its actual regulation voltage falls within 37.05 V to 40.95 V at 30 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, as confirmed in Microsemi's official 1N5333B–1N5388B datasheet Rev D.
Can the 1N5366BE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N5366BE3/TR13 uses an axial-leaded T-18 package and is intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5366B or SMBG5366B in DO-214AA packages; these share the same 39 V ±5% specification but require different PCB footprints and reflow profiles.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5366BE3/TR13?
The 1N5366BE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 170 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and supports transient suppression in industrial power inputs subject to IEC 61000-4-5 surge events.
How does thermal resistance affect the 1N5366BE3/TR13's power handling?
The 1N5366BE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W when leads are trimmed to 10 mm. At 25 °C lead temperature, it delivers full 5 W; above that, derating applies linearly-e.g., at TL = 75 °C, max power drops to 3.75 W. PCB copper area does not significantly improve RθJL for this axial package.
Is the 1N5366BE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes-the "e3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating on leads and UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, with no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances above threshold limits.
