Product details
Overview
SMBG5342B/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 6.8 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 175 mA test current (IZT), 1.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and maximum regulator current of 700 mA. It operates in the DO-215AA gull-wing package and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5342B/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5342B/TR13 pinout, SMBG5342B/TR13 application, or SMBG5342B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current rating (11.5 A), junction temperature range (–65 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
The SMBG5342B/TR13 functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode. Its regulation performance is defined at IZT = 175 mA with VZ = 6.8 V, ZZT = 1.0 Ω, and IR ≤ 10 µA at VR = 5.2 V - confirming tight low-current stability and minimal voltage drift under load variation.
Thermal design relies on its RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W (on FR4, 1 oz Cu), enabling 5.0 W dissipation only when lead temperature TL < 25 °C; at ambient TA = 25 °C, derated power is 1.38 W. The DO-215AA gull-wing package supports visible solder joints and IPC/JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.8 V ±5% at IZT = 175 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsinked leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1.0 Ω at 175 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under dynamic load changes |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 700 mA - sets absolute DC current limit before thermal runaway |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 11.5 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 5.2 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby-mode protection circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5342B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specs; no gull-wing geometry | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts; higher RθJA (120 °C/W) | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or manual prototyping is prioritized over board space or AOI capability |
| SMBJ5342B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs; slightly higher RθJA (100 °C/W); identical RoHS compliance | Lower profile than SMBG but less visible solder joint; incompatible footprint; requires different stencil design | Select when existing DO-214AA land pattern is fixed and gull-wing rework access is not required |
Compared with 1N5342B and SMBJ5342B, SMBG5342B/TR13 offers superior thermal transfer via gull-wing leads (RθJL = 25 °C/W), visible solder joints for inspection, and direct compatibility with DO-215AA-reflow profiles - making it optimal for high-reliability SMT power regulation where thermal margin and process control are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5342B/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5342B/TR13 denotes a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At 25 °C, its specified VZ is 6.8 V, meaning the actual measured breakdown voltage falls between 6.46 V and 7.14 V under IZT = 175 mA conditions. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test methods and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 to +150 °C.
Does SMBG5342B/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5342B/TR13 does not require dry packing. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, confirmed by Microsemi's qualification testing. The DO-215AA package uses void-free UL94V-0 epoxy with inherent moisture resistance, allowing standard SMT handling and reflow without baking or humidity-controlled storage.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5342B/TR13 at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient temperature, SMBG5342B/TR13's maximum continuous power dissipation is approximately 2.2 W. This is derived from its RθJA = 90 °C/W (on FR4, 1 oz Cu) and Tj,max = +150 °C: PD = (150 – 70) / 90 = 0.89 W - however, the datasheet specifies 5.0 W is only valid when lead temperature TL < 25 °C; at TA = 25 °C, derated power is 1.38 W. For 70 °C ambient, use thermal simulation or derating curves (Figure 1) - typical value is 2.2 W with adequate copper pour.
Is SMBG5342B/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5342B/TR13 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. Its matte-tin plating meets RoHS requirements and is rated for solder temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds (per MIL-STD-750, method 2026). The device passes JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture testing, ensuring no popcorning or delamination during standard Pb-free reflow cycles including peak temperatures of 260 °C.
How does the dynamic impedance of SMBG5342B/TR13 affect regulation accuracy?
The dynamic impedance (ZZT) of SMBG5342B/TR13 is 1.0 Ω at IZT = 175 mA. This low value means that for every 100 mA change in Zener current, the output voltage shifts by only ~100 mV - directly improving regulation accuracy in variable-load applications like feedback loops. Combined with its ±5% VZ tolerance and low IR (<10 µA), this ensures total regulation error remains under ±2% across its operational current range.
