Product details
Overview
SMBG5344AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 8.2 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), and 150 mA test current (IZT). It features 1.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), 10 µA reverse leakage at 5.9 V (VR), and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5344AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5344AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5344AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5344AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (10 A), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal silicon voltage regulator operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 8.2 V ±10% under 150 mA DC test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 1.5 Ω using 10% RMS AC modulation superimposed on IZT.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 90 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4 with recommended footprint), enabling stable regulation up to 5.0 W at lead temperature <25 °C or 1.38 W at ambient 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V ±10% - defines regulated output voltage under 150 mA DC bias; high-end tolerance limit is 9.02 V for worst-case IZM calculation. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 150 mA - standardized DC current at which VZ is measured; ensures repeatable voltage calibration during production test. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1.5 Ω - small-signal AC impedance near breakdown; determines voltage regulation stability under varying load currents. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA at 5.9 V - low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in clamping or reference applications. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 10 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure in power rail protection circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL < 25 °C - maximum steady-state power handling with adequate heat sinking at lead; derates linearly above 25 °C. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode and cathode only - no internal connections or multi-pin functionality.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Positive terminal in reverse-bias operation | Connected to regulated voltage node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction and regulation failure. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference point for Zener voltage drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5344B equivalent | Identical electrical characteristics and testing per Microsemi documentation - enables legacy design migration without requalification. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | e3 suffix confirms annealed tin finish compliant with J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - eliminates dry-pack requirement and supports lead-free reflow. |
| Gull-wing lead form (DO-215AA) | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reliable reflow wetting on standard SMT pads - improves manufacturing yield vs. J-bend packages. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No baking or dry pack needed before assembly - reduces handling cost and avoids moisture-induced popcorning during reflow. |
| High surge current capability | 10 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine rating - provides robust transient immunity in DC input protection circuits without external TVS stacking. |
Applications
| DC Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|

Use Value: Tight 8.2 V ±10% tolerance ensures repeatable current values across production lots, reducing calibration overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5344B | Same electrical specs and JEDEC registration; axial-leaded T-18 package instead of DO-215AA surface mount. | Requires through-hole assembly and PCB real estate; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole manufacturing or manual prototyping is required; not drop-in compatible with SMBG5344AE3/TR13 footprint. |
| SMBJ5344B | Identical Zener parameters but in DO-214AA (J-bend) package; same RoHS compliance and 5 W rating. | Lower profile than gull-wing but lacks visible solder joints; may require tighter stencil aperture control during reflow. | Choose for designs already using DO-214AA footprints or where gull-wing inspection is not mandated; thermal resistance differs slightly (RθJA not identical). |
Compared with 1N5344B and SMBJ5344B, SMBG5344AE3/TR13 offers gull-wing leads enabling optical solder inspection and optimized thermal path (RθJL = 25 °C/W), making it preferred for automated SMT production of compact, high-reliability power management subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5344AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5344AE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±10%, indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number. This means its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 7.38 V and 9.02 V when tested at 150 mA DC current and 30 °C lead temperature, per Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet specifications.
Is SMBG5344AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5344AE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its designation. It uses annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - no dry pack required prior to reflow soldering.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5344AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5344AE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 10 A, defined as an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per Microsemi's test conditions and enables reliable transient suppression in DC input protection circuits without device failure.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5344AE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package used by SMBG5344AE3/TR13 features gull-wing leads for visible solder joint inspection and lower thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), whereas DO-214AA uses J-bend leads. Both are surface-mount, but DO-215AA supports higher reliability in automated optical inspection (AOI) processes and improved thermal transfer to PCB copper.
Can SMBG5344AE3/TR13 replace 1N5344B in existing designs?
SMBG5344AE3/TR13 matches the electrical characteristics of 1N5344B per Microsemi documentation but uses a surface-mount DO-215AA package versus the axial T-18 package of 1N5344B. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign; however, it is functionally equivalent for voltage regulation and clamping where SMT assembly is feasible.
