Product details
Overview
SMBG5344C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 15 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 75 mA maximum regulator current (IZM), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges and is used in power supply overvoltage protection and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5344C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5344C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5344C/TR13 application, or SMBG5344C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (8.0 A), thermal resistance (90 °C/W on FR4), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining stable output voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its dynamic impedance is 2.5 Ω at 100 mA test current (IZT), and it exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current due to low ZZT.
The SMBG5344C/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W dissipation at lead temperature ≤25 °C, derating linearly above that point per the published power derating curve. It withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 8.0 A and meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±2% - precise regulation point at 75 mA, enabling accurate voltage clamping in feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL ≤25 °C - supports high-energy transient suppression when adequately heatsunk. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - defines safe continuous DC operating limit for stable regulation without thermal runaway. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 8.0 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles lightning-induced or switching transients in industrial power rails. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω @ IZT = 75 mA - ensures tight voltage regulation under dynamic load changes. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| Thermal Resistance RθJA | 90 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu) - requires careful PCB copper area design to maintain safe junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are exposed on opposite sides of the molded epoxy body for visible solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Positive terminal in reverse bias | Connected to regulated voltage rail; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction. |
| Anode | Negative terminal in reverse bias | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; forms reference path for shunt regulation. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5344B | Same Zener voltage (15 V), ±5% tolerance, axial T-18 package, higher RθJA (~125 °C/W). | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; less suitable for high-density SMT production. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher-temperature ambient operation demands axial package robustness. |
| SMBJ5344C | Same Zener voltage (15 V), ±2% tolerance, DO-214AA J-bend package, identical electrical specs but different thermal profile (RθJA = 85 °C/W). | Better thermal performance on FR4 but incompatible footprint; requires PCB redesign. | Choose when optimizing for thermal efficiency in space-constrained SMT layouts where gull-wing inspection is not mandatory. |
Compared with SMBG5344C/TR13, 1N5344B offers mechanical ruggedness in through-hole form but sacrifices density and thermal performance, while SMBJ5344C improves heat dissipation but mandates footprint change-SMBG5344C/TR13 balances manufacturability, inspection, and thermal capability in standard SMT lines.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5344C/TR13?
The SMBG5344C/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 15 V Zener voltage falls within 14.7 V to 15.3 V at the specified test current of 75 mA, enabling tighter regulation than ±5% or ±10% variants in precision reference applications.
Does SMBG5344C/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5344C/TR13 does not require dry packing prior to reflow. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking. The device uses void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5344C/TR13?
The SMBG5344C/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 8.0 A, defined as an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating enables reliable protection against common industrial transients such as inductive switch-off spikes and lightning-induced surges on DC power rails when used with appropriate series impedance.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5344C/TR13 compare between junction-to-lead and junction-to-ambient?
SMBG5344C/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W and a junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA) of 90 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended pad layout. The 3.6× difference highlights the importance of thermal vias and copper pour to minimize ambient temperature rise and sustain full 5 W power dissipation.
Is SMBG5344C/TR13 compatible with JEDEC 1N5344B in terms of electrical performance?
Yes, SMBG5344C/TR13 is electrically equivalent to JEDEC 1N5344B per Microsemi documentation, sharing identical Zener voltage, dynamic impedance, leakage current, and surge ratings. However, SMBG5344C/TR13 uses a surface-mount DO-215AA gull-wing package, whereas 1N5344B is axial T-18-making them functionally interchangeable but not mechanically pin-compatible.
