Product details
Overview
1N5379BG from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 110 V, ±5% tolerance, 12 Ω maximum zener impedance at 125 mA test current, and 1.4 A maximum DC zener current. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial power converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5379BG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 110 V nominal zener voltage, 5 W steady-state power rating at 75°C lead temperature, 1000 A surge current capability at 8.3 ms, and Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using a silicon-oxide passivated junction, delivering stable reverse breakdown behavior under regulated DC or transient surge conditions. Its thermal design relies on lead-to-ambient conduction, with junction-to-lead thermal resistance dependent on 3/8″ lead length and derating above 75°C.
The 1N5379BG exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~0.11 mV/°C per volt, extrapolated from Figure 3 for 110 V), low leakage (<0.5 µA at 83.6 V), and tight regulation-measured at both 10% and 50% of IZM-with voltage change limited by specified zener impedance and thermal coefficients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5379B | No "G" suffix; same electrical specs but unspecified RoHS status and halogen content | Acceptable where legacy compliance suffices; lacks guaranteed green material declaration | Select 1N5379BG when RoHS-6 and halogen-free certification are required for final product compliance |
| BZX85C110 | 1.3 W rating, TO-226AA package, 20 Ω ZzT @ 25 mA - lower power, higher impedance | Limited to low-power references; unsuitable for 5 W surge or continuous regulation | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where 110 V reference is needed at <100 mW dissipation |
Compared with 1N5379B and BZX85C110, the 1N5379BG offers full 5 W capability, industry-standard axial form factor, and documented green compliance-making it the preferred choice for high-reliability industrial power regulation where thermal margin and regulatory traceability matter.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5379BG?
The 1N5379BG has a nominal zener voltage of 110 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 104.5 V and 115.5 V at the specified test current of 125 mA. This tolerance is guaranteed per JEDEC standards and applies across the full operating temperature range.
How much power can the 1N5379BG dissipate continuously?
The 1N5379BG is rated for 5 W steady-state power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C with 3/8″ lead length. Above 75°C, it must be derated at 40 mW/°C. Its maximum DC zener current is 1.4 A, calculated as 5 W ÷ 110 V, and reflects the upper limit for continuous operation without thermal runaway.
Does the 1N5379BG have surge current capability, and what is its rating?
Yes, the 1N5379BG supports a peak non-repetitive surge current of 1000 A at a pulse width of 8.3 ms, as defined in the datasheet's Figure 5. This rating enables use in transient voltage suppression applications such as AC line surge protection and motor drive snubbing, provided pulse repetition is limited per thermal recovery guidelines.
What is the package type and marking convention for the 1N5379BG?
The 1N5379BG uses an axial-lead, transfer-molded plastic package (Case 17), with cathode identified by a colored band. The marking "1N5379B" appears on the body; the "G" suffix denotes RoHS-6 and halogen-free compliance per onsemi's green initiative. Polarity is unambiguous: banded end is cathode.
Is the 1N5379BG suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 1N5379BG is rated for operation from −65 °C to +200 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and industrial furnace control applications. Its silicon-oxide passivated junction and void-free plastic encapsulation maintain parameter stability across this full range when mounted per recommended lead-length and thermal guidelines.
