Product details
Overview
1N5372E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 62 V, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix equivalent), 20 mA test current, 42 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 400 A surge current rating. 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 1N5372E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N5372E3/TR13 pinout, 1N5372E3/TR13 application, or 1N5372E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability under varying load current, low dynamic impedance at rated test current, thermal resistance junction-to-lead (25 °C/W), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown. Its regulation performance is defined by VZ = 62 V at IZT = 20 mA, with ΔVZ = 2.1 V (voltage regulation between 10% and 50% of IZM) and ZZK = 76 Ω at 1 mA knee current.
Designed for high-current DC stabilization, it supports maximum steady-state power of 5 W at TL < 25 °C with 3/8″ lead length, derates linearly above 25 °C, and withstands non-recurrent 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 400 A per JEDEC specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±5% at 20 mA - defines stable regulation point across temperature and current variation |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires minimum 3/8″ lead length from body for full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 42 Ω at 20 mA - determines output voltage deviation under load current changes |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 400 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - dictates heatsinking requirement for continuous operation |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.5 μA at 47.1 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band; leads plated with RoHS-compliant matte tin per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to voltage source input; maintains 62 V relative to anode when reverse-biased above knee |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Complies with industry-standard 1N53xxB series mechanical and electrical definitions |
| RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) | Lead-free matte-tin plating meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and J-STD-609A Class 1 |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 suffix) | Standard EIA-296 compliant carrier tape, 13-inch reel, optimized for SMT placement equipment |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - simplifies handling and storage logistics |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands >4 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - reduces handling precautions during assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5372B | Same VZ, IZT, ZZ, and package; differs only in packaging (bulk vs. TR13 tape-and-reel) and RoHS status (non-e3) | Not suitable for automated SMT lines requiring RoHS compliance and reel-fed feeders | Select 1N5372E3/TR13 for RoHS-conforming high-volume production; choose 1N5372B for prototyping or legacy non-RoHS systems |
| MMSZ5255B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 62 V ±5%, but lower 500 mW power rating and 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA | Limited to low-power biasing; cannot replace 1N5372E3/TR13 in 5 W regulation or surge-clamp roles | Use MMSZ5255B-TP only where board space constraints prohibit axial leads and power dissipation ≤0.5 W |
Compared with 1N5372B and MMSZ5255B-TP, the 1N5372E3/TR13 uniquely combines 5 W power handling, 42 Ω low dynamic impedance, RoHS compliance, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging-making it the sole option for high-reliability, high-current, automated-manufacturing Zener applications requiring 62 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of 1N5372E3/TR13?
The 1N5372E3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" designation in its family (1N5372B), which carries forward to the e3/TR13 variant. This means its measured VZ falls between 58.9 V and 65.1 V at 20 mA test current and 25 °C junction temperature, per JEDEC registration and Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Does 1N5372E3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N5372E3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or humidity-controlled packaging prior to reflow soldering.
What is the maximum steady-state current for 1N5372E3/TR13 at 25 °C ambient?
The maximum steady-state Zener current for 1N5372E3/TR13 at 25 °C ambient is not directly specified; instead, its power rating governs operation. At TL < 25 °C (lead temperature, 3/8″ from body), it supports 5.0 W, yielding ~80.6 mA (5 W ÷ 62 V). When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz Cu, its derated power is 1.47 W, limiting current to ~23.7 mA at 62 V.
Can 1N5372E3/TR13 be used in place of 1N5372B in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N5372E3/TR13 is functionally and electrically identical to 1N5372B except for RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 suffix). Electrical parameters-including VZ, IZT, ZZ, IZM, and thermal resistance-are identical. No circuit or layout changes are needed beyond verifying feeder compatibility with 13-inch reels.
What is the forward voltage drop of 1N5372E3/TR13 at 1.0 A?
The forward voltage drop of 1N5372E3/TR13 is 1.2 V maximum at 1.0 A forward current and 25 °C, as specified in the Maximum Ratings section of the Microsemi datasheet. This value applies only during forward conduction and is not relevant during normal Zener-regulation operation, which occurs in reverse bias.
