Product details
Overview
SMBG5342BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 175 mA test current (IZT), 1.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation under broad temperature and current ranges.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5342BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5342BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5342BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5342BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (11.5 A IZSM), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and gull-wing solder joint visibility for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with sharp breakdown knee at 6.8 V, specified at 175 mA test current. Its low dynamic impedance (1.0 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation across load current changes, and its 11.5 A non-repetitive surge current rating supports transient overvoltage clamping per MIL-STD-750 method 3015.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package provides visible solder joints and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling stable regulation up to +150 °C junction temperature when properly heat-sinked on FR4 with recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5342B | Same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and PD; axial T-18 package instead of DO-215AA | Requires through-hole assembly; not suitable for high-density SMT production | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is preferred |
| SMBJ5342B | Identical electrical specs; DO-214AA J-bend package instead of DO-215AA gull-wing | Different footprint and solder joint geometry; requires PCB layout revision | Select when existing DO-214AA land pattern is standardized and gull-wing inspection is not required |
Compared with SMBG5342BE3/TR13, 1N5342B offers identical regulation performance but mandates through-hole assembly, while SMBJ5342B retains SMT compatibility at the cost of different mechanical mounting and optical inspection capability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5342BE3/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5342BE3/TR13 denotes ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At 25 °C, this means the measured VZ falls between 6.46 V and 7.14 V when tested at 175 mA. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test methods and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C, making SMBG5342BE3/TR13 suitable for applications requiring moderate precision without trimming.
Does SMBG5342BE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5342BE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry packing or baking. The DO-215AA epoxy body is void-free and thermosetting, eliminating moisture ingress risk during standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds - a key advantage over higher-level MSL components.
How does the gull-wing lead form of SMBG5342BE3/TR13 benefit automated assembly?
The gull-wing leads of SMBG5342BE3/TR13 enable full optical inspection of solder fillets during AOI (automated optical inspection), unlike J-bend or flat-lead packages. This allows real-time detection of bridging, insufficient solder, or misalignment - critical for high-reliability power regulation circuits where latent solder defects could cause field failures. The visible joint geometry also simplifies first-article inspection and process validation.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5342BE3/TR13 at 75 °C ambient?
At 75 °C ambient on an FR4 board with recommended footprint, SMBG5342BE3/TR13 derates to approximately 2.78 W (per Figure 1 power derating curve), yielding a maximum continuous Zener current of ~409 mA (2.78 W ÷ 6.8 V). This assumes adequate copper area for heat spreading; actual IZM depends on PCB thermal design and airflow - always verify junction temperature using RθJA = 90 °C/W and RθJL = 25 °C/W paths.
Is SMBG5342BE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMBG5342BE3/TR13 carries the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, qualified for Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020. It withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds without degradation. The gull-wing geometry also promotes uniform wetting and reduces tombstoning risk compared to smaller SMD diodes, making SMBG5342BE3/TR13 robust in high-volume lead-free manufacturing.
