Product details
Overview
1N5367E3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 43 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 30 mA test current, 20 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT, and 190 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) when adequately heat-sunk. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5367E3/TR12 datasheet, 1N5367E3/TR12 pinout, 1N5367E3/TR12 application, or 1N5367E3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 43 V regulation point, 5 W steady-state power rating at TL = 25°C, low 2.8 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and T-18 axial package compatibility with manual or wave soldering per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across variable load or line conditions. Its design centers on thermal management-junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 25 °C/W at 10 mm lead length-enabling reliable 5 W dissipation with proper heatsinking.
It exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current: ΔVZ = 2.8 V between 10% and 50% of IZM, and maintains tight regulation with ZZ ≤ 20 Ω at 30 mA. The cathode band marking and polarity-sensitive operation require the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for correct regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise regulation setpoint for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 30 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are specified; used for calibration and stability verification |
| Max Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 20 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage ripple sensitivity under varying load current |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 190 mA - maximum continuous reverse current before thermal runaway; requires heatsinking above ~1.47 W on PCB |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 2.8 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM; quantifies regulation linearity |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25°C - defines absolute thermal limit with 3/8″ lead length; derates linearly above 25°C |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal modeling for board-level heatsink design and reliability prediction |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case per JEDEC DO-204AL, void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, 0.7 g weight, cathode indicated by color band. Leads are annealed matte-tin plated (RoHS compliant per e3 suffix) and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference node for reverse bias | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential; must be negative relative to cathode during regulation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage rail; polarity reversal prevents conduction and regulation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5367B | Same 43 V, ±5% VZ, but SnPb lead finish (non-RoHS); identical electrical specs and T-18 package | No change in circuit function or layout; differs only in compliance and soldering profile (260°C/10 s vs. Pb-free reflow) | Select 1N5367B if legacy SnPb assembly or MIL-PRF-19500 screening (e.g., JANTXV-1N5367B) is required |
| SMBJ5367B | Surface-mount SMB package (JEDEC DO-214AA); same 43 V, ±5%, but lower IZM = 170 mA and higher ZZ = 22 Ω | Requires PCB redesign; suited for automated SMT lines but not drop-in replacement for through-hole designs | Select SMBJ5367B only when space-constrained layouts or high-volume pick-and-place manufacturing drive package choice |
Compared with 1N5367B and SMBJ5367B, the 1N5367E3/TR12 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, axial T-18 form factor, 190 mA IZM, and 20 Ω ZZ-making it optimal for through-hole industrial power supplies needing environmental compliance without sacrificing regulation performance or surge robustness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5367E3/TR12?
The 1N5367E3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix designation in the 1N53xx family. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC registration and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, ensuring predictable regulation in industrial and automotive environments where 1N5367E3/TR12 is deployed.
Does the 1N5367E3/TR12 require a dry pack before soldering?
No, the 1N5367E3/TR12 has Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it is exempt from dry pack requirements. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating allow direct use from reel without baking-reducing manufacturing overhead and eliminating moisture-related defects during wave or hand soldering of 1N5367E3/TR12.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5367E3/TR12?
The 1N5367E3/TR12 is rated for a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 190 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its capability to absorb transient energy in overvoltage protection circuits without degradation, making 1N5367E3/TR12 suitable for clamping applications in telecom and industrial power inputs where lightning or switching surges occur.
How does thermal resistance affect the 1N5367E3/TR12's power handling on a PCB?
The 1N5367E3/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W at 10 mm lead length, but junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 85 °C/W on FR4 with standard copper pads. As a result, its usable power drops from 5.0 W at TL = 25°C to 1.47 W at TA = 25°C-so effective heatsinking via lead termination or external copper pours is essential to sustain full 1N5367E3/TR12 performance.
Is the 1N5367E3/TR12 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N5367E3/TR12 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is qualified for lead-free soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its e3 suffix explicitly denotes this compliance, confirming that 1N5367E3/TR12 meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture and thermal stress requirements for modern Pb-free reflow and wave soldering profiles.
