Product details
Overview
1N5366BE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 39 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 30 mA test current, and 14 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5366BE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5366BE3/TR8 pinout, 1N5366BE3/TR8 application, or 1N5366BE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under varying load current, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (170 A), 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, with cathode indicated by a band and rated for steady-state dissipation of 5 W at 25 °C lead temperature. Its low dynamic impedance (14 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation across 10–50% of maximum Zener current (IZM = 170 mA).
The 1N5366BE3/TR8 features moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020B, void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, and is qualified for operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. It withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 170 A and exhibits <0.65 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% IZM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% - stable regulation point at 30 mA test current, suitable for 36–43 V system references |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - requires ≥10 mm lead length from body for full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 14 Ω at IZT = 30 mA - limits output voltage drift under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA at VR = 29.7 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with discrete heat sinking on leads |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 170 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 0.65 V - difference between VZ measured at 17 mA and 85 mA, defining regulation linearity |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (JEDEC DO-204AL), void-free UL94V-0 epoxy, cathode identified by color band. Leads are annealed matte-tin plated (RoHS-compliant, e3 suffix), solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; reverse bias applied to cathode |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal / voltage reference output | Banded end; connected to unregulated input; delivers regulated 39 V to load when reverse biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance (B suffix) | Enables tighter regulation than ±10% or ±20% variants, reducing need for post-regulation trimming |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints-ready for standard SMT/reflow or hand-soldering |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Permits handling without special static controls in assembly environments |
| High surge current rating (170 A) | Provides robust transient suppression in industrial power rails without external TVS augmentation |
| Low thermal resistance (25 °C/W) | Allows direct lead-mounting to chassis or heatsink for sustained 5 W operation without PCB copper area penalties |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5366B (non-e3, non-TR8) | Same electrical specs but SnPb plating and bulk packaging; no RoHS compliance or tape-and-reel delivery | Suitable only for legacy non-RoHS production; lacks reel format for automated placement | Select 1N5366BE3/TR8 for new designs requiring RoHS compliance and SMT compatibility |
| MMSZ5255B-TP (Micro Commercial Components) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating, 39 V ±5%, 17 Ω ZZ; not axial-leaded or 5 W capable | Used in space-constrained consumer electronics; cannot replace 1N5366BE3/TR8 in high-power or through-hole applications | Choose MMSZ5255B-TP only for low-power, board-area-limited designs where 5 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5366B and MMSZ5255B-TP, the 1N5366BE3/TR8 uniquely combines 5 W axial-leaded power handling, RoHS-compliant matte-tin leads, and tape-and-reel packaging-making it optimal for industrial power supply manufacturing requiring both thermal robustness and automated assembly support.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5366BE3/TR8?
The 1N5366BE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, denoted 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.
Does the 1N5366BE3/TR8 require dry packing before use?
No, the 1N5366BE3/TR8 does not require dry packing. It carries moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored and processed under standard factory conditions without baking or humidity-controlled packaging-verified in the "Mechanical and Packaging" section of the official datasheet.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5366BE3/TR8?
The 1N5366BE3/TR8 is rated for a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 170 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Microsemi 1N5333B–1N5388B datasheet and reflects its capability for transient overvoltage clamping.
Can the 1N5366BE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount applications?
No, the 1N5366BE3/TR8 is an axial-leaded T-18 (DO-204AL) package and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5366B or SMBG5366B-distinct part numbers with different package dimensions, thermal performance, and mounting requirements than the 1N5366BE3/TR8.
What is the forward voltage specification for the 1N5366BE3/TR8?
The forward voltage (VF) of the 1N5366BE3/TR8 is specified as a maximum of 1.2 V at 1.0 A forward current, per the "Maximum Ratings" table in the official datasheet. This parameter applies only during forward conduction and is not relevant to its primary Zener regulation function in reverse bias.
