Product details
Overview
1N5380B from onsemi is a 5 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 120 V, ±5% tolerance, maximum zener impedance of 10 Ω at 170 mA test current, and surge rating of 1150 A at 8.3 ms. It operates as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5380B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 120 V nominal breakdown, low 10 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 1.3 V leakage current limit at 91.2 V, and compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C.
Technical Context
The 1N5380B uses a silicon-oxide passivated junction for stable voltage regulation under steady-state and transient conditions. Its thermal design supports 5 W continuous dissipation at TL = 25°C with 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and derating above ambient.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient typical of high-voltage Zeners (≈1.3 mV/°C per Figure 3), and maintains regulation across −65°C to +200°C operating range, with DC max junction temperature limited to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 114–126 V (±5% tolerance at IZT = 170 mA; defines regulated output voltage window) |
| Max Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TL = 25°C (supports robust voltage clamping without heatsink in low-duty-cycle applications) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω max @ IZT = 170 mA (ensures tight regulation under load variation) |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 2.5 μA max @ VR = 91.2 V (minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks) |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 1150 A peak @ 8.3 ms (withstands lightning-induced transients in industrial power inputs) |
| Junction Temp Range | −65°C to +200°C (enables operation in automotive under-hood or industrial outdoor enclosures) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) (survives handling without external protection diodes) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5380BRLG | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (4000 units/reel) vs. bulk box (1000 units) | Optimized for automated SMT placement; requires compatible feeder setup | Select for high-volume production where pick-and-place efficiency outweighs manual prototyping convenience |
| BZX85C120 | 120 V ±5%, but 1.3 W rating, 100 Ω ZZT, and 200°C max TJ; no surge rating specified | Suitable only for low-power biasing; cannot replace 1N5380B in 5 W regulation or surge-clamp roles | Choose only for space-constrained, low-dissipation reference nodes where 5 W headroom is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5380B?
The 1N5380B has a nominal zener voltage of 120 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 114 V and 126 V when tested at IZT = 170 mA. This tight tolerance ensures predictable regulation in precision power supply feedback paths and voltage reference circuits where stable setpoints are critical.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation rating for the 1N5380B?
The 1N5380B is rated for 5 W maximum steady-state power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) of 25°C, with linear derating of 40 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating assumes 3/8-inch lead length to heatsink and enables reliable operation in unheatsinked, high-voltage clamp applications such as industrial DC bus protection.
Does the 1N5380B support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N5380B is offered in Pb-free packaging (indicated by the "G" suffix) and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at up to 260°C for 10 seconds at 1/16 inch from the case. Its thermosetting plastic body and corrosion-resistant leads ensure solder joint integrity and long-term reliability without requiring special flux or preheat profiles.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N5380B and why does it matter?
The 1N5380B has a maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 10 Ω at its test current of 170 mA. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load currents-critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback loops and reducing ripple in shunt-regulated supplies where load transients occur.
How does the 1N5380B handle transient surge events?
The 1N5380B is rated for a peak non-repetitive surge current of 1150 A at 8.3 ms pulse width, corresponding to an 180 W surge power rating. This capability allows it to absorb high-energy transients-such as those from inductive switching or lightning-induced surges-without failure, making it suitable for primary-side clamping in industrial and telecom power interfaces.
