Product details
Overview
1N5370E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 56 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 20 mA test current, 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse current of 0.5 μA at 42.6 V. 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 1N5370E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5370E3/TR13 pinout, 1N5370E3/TR13 application, or 1N5370E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (280 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 1.00 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 across wide current (20 mA IZT to 55 mA IZM) and temperature ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (35 Ω) and tight voltage regulation (1.00 V ΔVZ) ensure minimal output drift under load variation.
Designed for axial-lead through-hole mounting with T-18 package, it features void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, cathode band polarity marking, and moisture sensitivity level 1-no dry pack required. Thermal performance is specified at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise clamping threshold for protection or reference circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 20 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZ are guaranteed per JEDEC spec |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 35 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage stability under current transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA at 42.6 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - requires heat sinking above ambient for sustained operation |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 1.00 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating line regulation quality |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 280 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
Pinout & Package
Package: T-18 axial-leaded plastic case (UL94V-0 epoxy), 0.7 g weight, cathode indicated by band. Leads are RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plated 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 clamp input | Banded end; connected to unregulated rail; maintains 56 V relative to anode when reverse biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener family | Ensures standardized electrical behavior and interchangeability across qualified suppliers |
| RoHS-compliant e3 suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with matte-tin plating-no lead or hazardous substances |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack or baking required before PCB assembly-reduces handling cost and risk |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands electrostatic discharge without parameter shift-simplifies handling in non-EPA areas |
| High surge current capability | 280 A peak (8.3 ms) enables robust transient voltage suppression without external crowbar |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5370B | Same 56 V, ±5%, 5 W rating but non-RoHS tin-lead plating; no e3 suffix | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; identical thermal and electrical specs otherwise | Select 1N5370E3/TR13 for new designs requiring lead-free compliance and tape-and-reel delivery |
| SMBJ5370B | Surface-mount SMB package; same 56 V, ±5%, 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient ≈ 85 °C/W) | Requires PCB layout change; unsuitable for axial through-hole boards or high-power heatsinking | Choose SMBJ5370B only when space-constrained SMT design and reflow compatibility are mandatory |
Compared with 1N5370B and SMBJ5370B, the 1N5370E3/TR13 provides RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging while retaining identical Zener characteristics and superior thermal performance via axial leads-making it optimal for industrial through-hole power regulation where regulatory and supply-chain continuity matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5370E3/TR13?
The 1N5370E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "B" suffix designation in the 1N53xxB family. This tolerance is verified at 20 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, per JEDEC registration and Microsemi's REV D datasheet.
Does the 1N5370E3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5370E3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow or wave soldering-reducing manufacturing overhead and handling risk.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5370E3/TR13?
The 1N5370E3/TR13 is rated for 280 A peak non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) using an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as specified in Microsemi's official datasheet. This enables reliable transient suppression in industrial power interfaces without derating.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N5370E3/TR13 compare between lead and ambient mounting?
The 1N5370E3/TR13 has 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length, but rises to 85 °C/W junction-to-ambient when mounted on FR4 with standard 1 oz copper pads-highlighting the benefit of heatsinking the leads directly for high-duty-cycle operation.
Is the 1N5370E3/TR13 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N5370E3/TR13 uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and supports soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds-fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles.
