Product details
Overview
3EZ10D5G from ON Semiconductor is a 3 W, 10 V ±5% Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-41 axial package, with 75 Ω maximum zener impedance at 3.5 mA test current, 270 μA reverse leakage at 7.6 V, and 98 W surge rating for 1 ms. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 3EZ10D5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, surge capability, ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM), and real-world design implications for stable voltage reference implementation.
Technical Context
The 3EZ10D5G operates as a silicon-oxide passivated junction Zener diode optimized for steady-state voltage regulation and transient clamping. Its 10 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 3.5 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains low dynamic impedance (75 Ω max) to ensure tight regulation under load variation.
Thermal performance is defined by lead-length-dependent derating: full 3 W dissipation at TL = 75°C (lead length = 3/8″), linearly derated to 1 W at TA = 50°C. Surge capability is rated at 98 W for 1 ms non-repetitive pulses per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.50–10.5 V @ IZT = 3.5 mA; ensures stable 10 V reference within ±5% across production units |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 75 Ω max @ IZT; limits output voltage deviation under changing load current |
| Max Steady Power (PD) | 3 W @ TL = 75°C; requires heatsinking or short leads for full-power operation |
| Surge Rating | 98 W @ 1 ms pulse; protects downstream circuitry from transient overvoltage events |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); withstands handling and board-level electrostatic discharge without degradation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 270 μA max @ VR = 7.6 V; defines minimum bias current needed to maintain regulation |
| Operating Temp Range | −65°C to +200°C; supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package (Case 59-10), cathode indicated by polarity band. Leads are solderable, corrosion-resistant, with max solder temperature of 230°C at 1/16″ from case for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-bias regulation; forms reference ground return path |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential rail; provides stable 10 V reference when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silicon-oxide passivated junction | Enables stable long-term voltage regulation and low parameter drift over time and temperature |
| Surmetic 30 construction | Delivers superior surge immunity and environmental ruggedness vs. standard plastic Zeners |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 1 W rating, 10 V ±5%, 17 Ω ZZT @ 25 mA; smaller power handling and lower surge capacity | Suitable only for low-power reference or signal-level clamping; not recommended for 3 W continuous or high-energy transients | Select 1N4740A only when board space or cost constraints preclude DO-41 3 W devices and thermal margin is sufficient |
| BZX55C10 | 500 mW rating, 10 V ±5%, 20 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA; smaller package (DO-35), lower surge rating (40 W) | Applicable in consumer electronics where space is critical and transient energy is limited | Choose BZX55C10 for compact PCB layouts with <1 W average dissipation and no high-energy surges |
Compared with 1N4740A and BZX55C10, the 3EZ10D5G delivers triple the steady-state power, double the surge energy absorption, and superior thermal stability-making it the preferred choice for industrial power rails, automotive subsystems, and any application requiring sustained 10 V regulation under variable load or harsh transients.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 3EZ10D5G?
The 3EZ10D5G has a nominal zener voltage of 10 V with ±5% tolerance, guaranteed at IZT = 3.5 mA, TA = 25°C, and 40 ms ±10 ms measurement duration at 3/8″ lead length. The min/max values are 9.50 V and 10.5 V respectively, confirmed in the official ON Semiconductor datasheet revision 4.
Can 3EZ10D5G be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 3EZ10D5G is exclusively available in axial-leaded DO-41 (Case 59-10) packaging and is not offered in SMD variants. For surface-mount equivalents, consider ON Semiconductor's NZ9F10V or similar SOD-123 packaged Zeners, but note differences in power rating and thermal path.
What is the maximum allowable reverse leakage current for 3EZ10D5G and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 3EZ10D5G is 270 μA, measured at VR = 7.6 V (80% of nominal VZ). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects worst-case off-state conduction before breakdown onset.
How does thermal derating work for 3EZ10D5G in real-world PCB mounting?
3EZ10D5G derates linearly from 3 W at TL = 75°C (lead temp) to 0 W at ~188°C. With typical PCB trace mounting (L ≈ 3/8″), LA ≈ 30–40°C/W applies; thus at TA = 50°C, max dissipation drops to 1 W. Accurate lead temperature measurement via thermocouple is recommended for high-reliability designs.
Is 3EZ10D5G RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the 3EZ10D5G is available in Pb-free packaging compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. ON Semiconductor confirms that both standard and Pb-free versions meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications, and halogen content is below IEC 61249-2-21 limits per manufacturer documentation.
