Product details
Overview
SMBG5345BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 8.7 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 2.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 150 mA test current, and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5345BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5345BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5345BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5345BE3/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, JEDEC-compliant packaging details, and real-world design implications for stable voltage clamping in industrial and automotive power rails.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining stable 8.7 V output across 1.0 mA to 545 mA operating current range. Its 2.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 150 mA ensures minimal voltage deviation under load transients.
Thermal resistance is 25 °C/W junction-to-lead and 90 °C/W junction-to-ambient (on FR4 with recommended footprint), enabling reliable 5 W dissipation only when lead temperature remains below 25 °C - otherwise derated per Figure 1 curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.7 V ±5% at 150 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL ≤ 25 °C - requires heatsinking via PCB copper or thermal vias to sustain full rating. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.0 Ω at 150 mA - low impedance ensures <130 mV variation over ±10% current change near regulation point. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 545 mA - maximum continuous DC current before exceeding 5 W limit at VZ = 8.7 V. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 200 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands short-duration transients like ESD or load dump without failure. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature industrial and under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode and cathode - cathode is banded end, operated positive relative to anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to voltage rail being clamped; reverse-biased to conduct when rail exceeds 8.7 V. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground or low-side reference; completes current path during Zener conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5345B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement for legacy through-hole designs using adapter footprints. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies SMT handling and eliminates bake-out steps prior to reflow. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3) | Lead-free solder compatibility with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 s. |
| Gull-wing leads (DO-215AA) | Visible solder joints enable automated optical inspection (AOI) and improve process yield in high-density layouts. |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in isolated DC-DC converter secondary-side error amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt reference providing fixed 8.7 V bias to optocoupler LED or TL431 input. Use Value: Maintains ±0.44 V regulation window (±5%) across –40 to +125 °C, ensuring consistent loop gain and output accuracy. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins against 12 V rail transients in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting crowbar element that conducts above 8.7 V to divert surge energy to ground. Use Value: Withstands 200 A surge (8.3 ms) without degradation, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream logic. |
| ESD Protection Network | Industrial Sensor Excitation |
Use Scenario: Secondary-stage clamping in multi-stage TVS + Zener ESD protection for USB 2.0 data lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-impedance shunt limiter activated after primary TVS absorbs bulk energy. Use Value: 2.0 Ω ZZT minimizes clamping overshoot to <9.1 V at 1 A transient, preserving signal integrity. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage to 4–20 mA current-loop pressure transducers in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage source for Wheatstone bridge biasing and analog front-end referencing. Use Value: Low 10 µA leakage at 6.25 V (VR) ensures minimal error contribution (<0.02% FS) in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5345B | Same 8.7 V ±5%, 5 W rating, but axial DO-41 package - no gull-wing leads or SMT compatibility. | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density PCBs or automated SMT lines. | Select only for legacy repair or prototyping where manual soldering is acceptable and board space permits axial footprint. |
| SMBJ5345B | Identical electrical specs and DO-214AA J-bend package - same thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W) but different lead geometry. | Compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place but requires revised stencil and footprint vs. DO-215AA. | Choose when existing design uses DO-214AA land pattern; verify pad layout matches Microsemi's recommended dimensions before substitution. |
Compared with SMBG5345BE3/TR13, 1N5345B demands through-hole assembly and lacks RoHS compliance, while SMBJ5345B shares all electrical performance but requires footprint adaptation - making SMBG5345BE3/TR13 optimal for new SMT designs needing visible solder joints and Level 1 moisture handling.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5345BE3/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5345BE3/TR13 specifies ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its regulated voltage falls between 8.265 V and 9.135 V at 150 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet, where SMBG5345B is explicitly listed with VZ = 8.7 V and IZT = 150 mA.
Does SMBG5345BE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No - SMBG5345BE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without desiccant or dry pack. The device's void-free epoxy body and Level 1 rating eliminate the need for baking prior to reflow, streamlining SMT manufacturing per the Mechanical and Packaging section on page 2.
What is the maximum continuous current SMBG5345BE3/TR13 can handle?
SMBG5345BE3/TR13 supports a maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) of 545 mA, calculated from its 5.0 W power rating and upper-limit Zener voltage (8.7 V × 1.05 = 9.135 V → 5.0 W ÷ 9.135 V ≈ 547 mA). The datasheet directly lists IZM = 545 mA for SMBG5345B on page 3, confirming safe DC operation within thermal limits when lead temperature stays ≤25 °C.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5345BE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
SMBG5345BE3/TR13 uses DO-215AA gull-wing leads, whereas DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5345B) has J-bend terminations. Gull-wing leads provide visible solder joints for AOI and lower coplanarity risk, while J-bend offers higher standoff but requires tighter placement accuracy. Both share identical RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4, but their footprints are mechanically incompatible per Microsemi's pad layout drawings on page 5.
Is SMBG5345BE3/TR13 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes - SMBG5345BE3/TR13 is rated for junction temperatures from –65 to +150 °C and withstands 200 A surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), meeting key requirements for engine control units and battery management systems. Its RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating and Level 1 moisture rating further support reliability in thermally aggressive, high-vibration automotive environments as stated in the Applications/Benefits and Maximum Ratings sections.
