Product details
Overview
1N5366CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with a nominal regulation voltage of 39 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 30 mA test current, and 14 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT. 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 1N5366CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5366CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N5366CE3/TR13 application, or 1N5366CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (170 A), voltage regulation (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 variation (IZM = 170 mA) and temperature extremes. Its low dynamic impedance (14 Ω) and tight ±2% VZ tolerance ensure minimal voltage drift under load changes.
The 1N5366CE3/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy T-18 package with cathode band marking, rated for 5 W steady-state dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature and 1.47 W on FR4 board. It withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 170 A and exhibits ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±2% - precise regulation point for feedback loops requiring high stability |
| Test Current (IZT) | 30 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; defines biasing requirement |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 14 Ω max - low AC resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation with current ripple |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 170 mA - maximum DC current before exceeding 5 W power limit at TL = 25 °C |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 170 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 3.1 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM; quantifies regulation linearity |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables high-power operation with simple lead heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5366B | ±5% VZ tolerance (vs. ±2% for 1N5366CE3/TR13); otherwise identical electrical specs and package | Suitable for non-critical regulation where cost priority outweighs precision | Select 1N5366B only if ±5% VZ meets system margin requirements and RoHS is not mandated |
| MMSZ5255E | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 39 V ±5%; 500 mW rating (vs. 5 W); higher ZZ (40 Ω) | Limited to low-power signal-level referencing; cannot replace 1N5366CE3/TR13 in power rail clamping | Choose MMSZ5255E only for space-constrained PCBs where power dissipation ≤0.5 W is sufficient |
Compared with 1N5366B and MMSZ5255E, the 1N5366CE3/TR13 delivers superior precision (±2%), higher power handling (5 W), and robust surge capability (170 A), making it optimal for industrial-grade voltage regulation where reliability and accuracy are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5366CE3/TR13?
The 1N5366CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its actual regulation voltage falls within 38.22 V to 39.78 V at 30 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, enabling high-accuracy reference design without trimming.
Can the 1N5366CE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount applications?
No-the 1N5366CE3/TR13 uses an axial-leaded T-18 package and is not surface-mount compatible. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5366B (DO-214AA) and SMBG5366B (DO-214AB), both rated for 5 W but requiring different PCB layout and thermal pad design than the 1N5366CE3/TR13.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1N5366CE3/TR13 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 1N5366CE3/TR13 has a steady-state power rating of 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient, based on its 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Does the 1N5366CE3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes-the "e3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance, meaning the 1N5366CE3/TR13 uses matte-tin lead plating without lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE. It satisfies EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
How is polarity marked on the 1N5366CE3/TR13?
The 1N5366CE3/TR13 uses a cathode band (typically black or dark stripe) near one end of the cylindrical body to indicate the cathode terminal. The banded end must be held at a more positive potential than the anode to achieve Zener breakdown and regulation; reverse connection will forward-bias the diode at ~1.2 V.
