Product details
Overview
SMBG5342CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 6.8 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum Zener current of 700 mA at 25 °C. It features gull-wing DO-215AA packaging, 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5342CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5342CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5342CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5342CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.8 V regulation point, ±2% tolerance, 5 W power rating under lead-temperature-limited conditions, DO-215AA gull-wing footprint compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode, delivering stable voltage regulation across wide current (175 mA test current) and temperature ranges. Its dynamic impedance is 1.0 Ω at IZT, and it exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current due to low ZZT and high IZM capability.
The SMBG5342CE3/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per J-STD-020B-no dry pack required. It withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 11.5 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.8 V ±2% at 175 mA - precise regulation point for feedback sensing or clamping. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsinking to sustain full rating. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1.0 Ω at 175 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 700 mA - defines absolute DC current limit before thermal runaway under proper lead-temperature control. |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 25 °C/W - enables accurate thermal design when mounted on FR4 with recommended pad layout. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 11.5 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA at 5.2 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to reference or clamped node; voltage measured relative to anode. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground or power rail return path; completes Zener conduction loop. |
Key Features

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 electrical specs but no RoHS e3 marking; higher RθJA (125 °C/W). | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select only for legacy through-hole designs or where axial form factor is mandated. |
| SMBJ5342B | DO-214AA (J-bend) package; same VZ, tolerance, and PD, but RθJL = 30 °C/W and IZM = 680 mA. | Lower thermal performance limits sustained power in compact layouts. | Choose when DO-214AA footprint is already standardized; verify thermal margin at full load. |
Compared with SMBG5342CE3/TR13, 1N5342B offers identical regulation but lacks SMT compatibility and RoHS compliance, while SMBJ5342B trades 20% lower thermal efficiency and 3% lower IZM for J-bend mount flexibility-making SMBG5342CE3/TR13 optimal for high-reliability, high-density, lead-free production.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5342CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5342CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 6.664 V and 6.936 V when tested at 175 mA and 25 °C. The tighter tolerance supports precision regulation in feedback circuits where output accuracy is critical, and the SMBG5342CE3/TR13 maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range.
Does SMBG5342CE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5342CE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1 classification, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking. This eliminates pre-reflow baking steps and reduces risk of popcorn cracking during reflow-key for high-yield SMT production of the SMBG5342CE3/TR13.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5342CE3/TR13?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for SMBG5342CE3/TR13 is 700 mA when lead temperature (TL) is maintained below 25 °C. This value assumes proper thermal design using the recommended DO-215AA pad layout on FR4. At ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C), the derated IZM drops to approximately 138 mA due to higher thermal resistance to ambient-so SMBG5342CE3/TR13 must be used with attention to PCB copper area and airflow.
How does the gull-wing lead frame of SMBG5342CE3/TR13 benefit manufacturing?
The gull-wing lead frame of SMBG5342CE3/TR13 enables optical inspection of solder joints after reflow, improving process yield and field reliability. Its geometry provides strong mechanical anchoring on FR4 substrates and supports automated optical inspection (AOI) without shadowing. Unlike J-bend packages, the SMBG5342CE3/TR13's gull-wing leads also reduce tombstoning risk during reflow-critical for consistent assembly of the SMBG5342CE3/TR13 in high-volume production.
Is SMBG5342CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5342CE3/TR13 is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its matte-tin (e3) plating meets J-STD-002 and MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability, and its package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. The SMBG5342CE3/TR13 has been qualified for Pb-free assembly per JEDEC J-STD-020D, making it suitable for RoHS-compliant manufacturing lines handling the SMBG5342CE3/TR13.
