Product details
Overview
SMBG5344CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 8.2 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum Zener current of 580 mA at 25 °C. It uses DO-215AA gull-wing package, delivers low dynamic impedance (1.5 Ω at IZT), and is rated for surge current up to 10 A (8.3 ms half-sine). It serves as precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5344CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5344CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5344CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5344CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current rating (IZSM = 10 A), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with specified test current IZT = 150 mA and knee current IZK = 1.0 mA. Its dynamic impedance ZZT = 1.5 Ω is measured at 1 kHz with 10% rms ac modulation superimposed on IZT, ensuring stable regulation under varying load conditions.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead resistance of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 90 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with recommended footprint. Voltage regulation remains stable across -65 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range, with minimal VZ drift versus current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V ±2% at IZT = 150 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for protection and reference |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy transient suppression with adequate heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1.5 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 10 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive line transients without degradation |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA at VR = 5.9 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper for efficient heat transfer |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; banded end is positive during reverse-bias operation. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required prior to assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink in forward bias; connected to ground or low-side reference in Zener configuration | Provides return path for Zener current; must be routed with low-inductance trace in high-speed clamp applications |
| Cathode | Regulated output node in reverse bias; connected to protected rail or reference point | Carries full Zener current; requires thermal relief pad and sufficient copper area for 5 W dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets MIL-STD-750 method 2026 solderability requirements without lead contamination risk |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Enables visual post-reflow solder joint inspection and reduces tombstoning risk on fine-pitch layouts |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Eliminates baking step before reflow, reducing manufacturing cycle time and cost |
| JEDEC 1N53xxB equivalent | Ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy designs using axial 1N5344B or SMBJ5344B variants |
| High IZM rating (580 mA) | Supports robust regulation across wide input voltage ranges without external current limiting |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5344CE3/TR13?
The "C" suffix in SMBG5344CE3/TR13 denotes a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at IZT = 150 mA. This means the actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.036 V and 8.364 V under standard test conditions, enabling tighter regulation than ±5% (B suffix) or ±10% (A suffix) variants.
Does SMBG5344CE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No. SMBG5344CE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without desiccant or dry packing. This eliminates pre-reflow baking steps and reduces manufacturing overhead in high-volume SMT lines.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5344CE3/TR13?
SMBG5344CE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 10 A, defined as a single 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per Microsemi's test methodology and supports robust protection against common power-line transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5344CE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package used by SMBG5344CE3/TR13 features wider lead spacing and straighter leads than the J-bend DO-214AA (SMBJ series), enabling better solder joint visibility and lower tombstoning risk. Thermal resistance RθJL is 25 °C/W for DO-215AA versus ~30 °C/W for DO-214AA, improving power handling.
Is SMBG5344CE3/TR13 compatible with existing 1N5344B-based designs?
Yes. SMBG5344CE3/TR13 is explicitly stated as electrically equivalent to JEDEC 1N5344B, with identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specifications. Its DO-215AA footprint is not pin-compatible with axial DO-41, but layout adaptation enables direct functional replacement in SMT upgrades.
