Product details
Overview
1N5372BRLG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 62 V, ±5% tolerance, 20 Ω maximum zener impedance at 42 mA test current, and 1.35 μA reverse leakage at 47.1 V. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C and delivers stable voltage regulation in DC power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5372BRLG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 62 V nominal breakdown, 400 mA maximum DC zener current, 180 W surge rating at 8.3 ms, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and Pb-free Surmetic 40 plastic package compatibility with wave and reflow soldering.
Technical Context
This device uses silicon-oxide passivated junction technology to achieve tight voltage tolerance (±5%), low dynamic impedance, and high reliability under thermal and surge stress. Its axial-lead construction and transfer-molded thermosetting plastic case provide mechanical robustness and environmental protection across industrial temperature extremes.
The 1N5372BRLG is characterized at 25 °C with zener voltage measured at both 10% and 50% of IZM, ensuring stable regulation under varying load conditions. Its thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length, enabling predictable derating above 25 °C ambient.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5372BRLG?
The 1N5372BRLG has a nominal zener voltage of 62 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a minimum of 58.9 V and maximum of 65.1 V at 42 mA test current (IZT). This tight tolerance is specified per JEDEC standards and validated across the full operating temperature range, making the 1N5372BRLG suitable for precision reference applications where voltage stability is critical.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N5372BRLG?
The 1N5372BRLG is rated for 5 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 25 °C with 3/8″ lead length. Derating is required above 25 °C at 40 mW/°C, based on its junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W. The actual maximum DC zener current (IZM) is 400 mA, calculated as 5 W ÷ 62 V ≈ 80.6 mA - but the datasheet specifies 400 mA as the absolute maximum current limit for the 62 V unit, reflecting conservative thermal design margins.
Does the 1N5372BRLG have Pb-free packaging and RoHS compliance?
Yes, the "G" suffix in 1N5372BRLG explicitly denotes a Pb-free package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses a Surmetic 40 transfer-molded plastic case with corrosion-resistant, readily solderable leads and is qualified for both wave and reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case. This makes the 1N5372BRLG suitable for environmentally regulated manufacturing environments.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5372BRLG and why does it matter?
The 1N5372BRLG has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 20 Ω at IZT = 42 mA. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal change in regulated voltage under varying load currents - critical for maintaining accuracy in feedback loops and clamp circuits. For example, a 10 mA load step results in only ~0.2 V deviation (10 mA × 20 Ω), preserving system stability in sensitive analog and power control applications.
Can the 1N5372BRLG be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1N5372BRLG is rated for an operating temperature range of −65 °C to +200 °C, with DC operation up to +150 °C and pulsed conditions up to +200 °C. Its silicon-oxide passivated junction, robust Surmetic 40 package, and 180 W surge rating make it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control module voltage supervision, battery disconnect monitoring, and alternator overvoltage protection - provided thermal management aligns with its 25 °C/W θJL specification.
