Product details
Overview
SMBG5346AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V, ±10% tolerance (A 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 and is used in power supply overvoltage protection and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5346AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5346AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5346AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5346AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include its 9.1 V regulation point, 5 W power rating at lead temperature <25 °C, 2.0 Ω Zener impedance, 520 mA maximum regulator current, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage reference or shunt regulator in reverse-biased mode, with cathode indicated by band and rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling stable regulation when mounted on FR4 with recommended footprint.
The SMBG5346AE3/TR13 exhibits minimal voltage variation versus current due to low dynamic impedance (2.0 Ω) and maintains regulation under surge conditions up to 9.2 A (8.3 ms half-sine). It meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity requirements and has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5346B | Identical electrical specs but axial-leaded T-18 package; no RoHS compliance (non-e3) | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT production | Select when legacy board repair or hand-solder prototyping is needed |
| SMBJ5346B | Same Zener voltage and tolerance, but DO-214AA J-bend package; RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG | Lower thermal performance on same PCB; requires larger copper area for equivalent power handling | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint must be reused without layout change |
Compared with SMBG5346AE3/TR13, the 1N5346B offers identical regulation but lacks SMT compatibility and RoHS compliance, while SMBJ5346B trades thermal efficiency for footprint reuse-making SMBG5346AE3/TR13 optimal for new high-density, compliant designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5346AE3/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5346AE3/TR13 indicates a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning the actual VZ falls between 8.19 V and 10.01 V at 150 mA test current. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test methods and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C. SMBG5346AE3/TR13 maintains this specification under both DC and transient conditions.
Does SMBG5346AE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5346AE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored and processed without dry packing or baking. The device's void-free epoxy body and Level 1 rating eliminate pre-reflow desiccation steps, reducing manufacturing cost and process complexity. SMBG5346AE3/TR13 is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5346AE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu) with the recommended footprint, SMBG5346AE3/TR13 delivers 1.38 W at 25 °C ambient temperature. At lead temperature <25 °C, it achieves full 5.0 W rating. Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet, reaching zero power at ~125 °C ambient. SMBG5346AE3/TR13 thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 90 °C/W under these conditions.
How does the dynamic impedance of SMBG5346AE3/TR13 affect voltage regulation accuracy?
SMBG5346AE3/TR13 has a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 2.0 Ω at 150 mA, meaning a 100 mA change in Zener current causes only a 0.2 V shift in output voltage. This low impedance ensures stable regulation under varying load conditions and minimizes error in precision reference applications. SMBG5346AE3/TR13 maintains this ZZT value across –40 °C to +85 °C per characterization data.
Is SMBG5346AE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, SMBG5346AE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its gull-wing leads ensure coplanarity and wetting reliability, and the package withstands thermal cycling without delamination. SMBG5346AE3/TR13 meets IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 acceptance criteria for SMT assembly.
