Product details
Overview
SMBG5346CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 150 mA test current (IZT), 2.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation under varying load and temperature conditions.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5346CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5346CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5346CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5346CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (520 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating for lead-free assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining stable output voltage across 1.0–150 mA operating current range with minimal voltage drift versus temperature (−65 to +150 °C junction range). Its low dynamic impedance (2.0 Ω at IZT) ensures tight regulation under dynamic load transients.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visible solder joint inspection and supports high-density PCB layouts. Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 90 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4), enabling 5.0 W dissipation only when lead temperature remains below 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±2% at 150 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via copper pour or heatsinked leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.0 Ω at 150 mA - ensures <18 mV output variation per 36 mA load step |
| Maximum Regulator Current (IZM) | 520 mA - sets upper limit for continuous DC bias without exceeding PD |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 520 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events like ESD or inductive kickback |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | Level 1 (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B) - no dry pack or baking required before reflow |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; banded end must be held positive relative to anode during operation. Leads are RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plated for solderability per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference/Return Node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated Output Node | Banded terminal; supplies stable 9.1 V reference or clamps voltage to this level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5346B | Same 9.1 V ±2%, 5 W rating, axial T-18 package; higher RθJA (125 °C/W) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select for prototyping or low-volume through-hole assemblies where thermal mass compensates for higher ambient resistance |
| SMBJ5346B | Same electrical specs but DO-214AA (J-bend) package; RθJA = 95 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG | Lower profile than SMBG but reduced thermal performance; less visible solder joints | Prefer when board height is constrained and thermal margin allows 5% higher RθJA |
Compared with SMBG5346CE3/TR13, 1N5346B offers identical regulation but demands through-hole layout and sacrifices SMT manufacturability, while SMBJ5346B trades minor thermal degradation for tighter vertical clearance in space-constrained modules.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for SMBG5346CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5346CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage of 9.1 V with ±2% tolerance (indicated by 'C' suffix) and is specified at a test current (IZT) of 150 mA. This tolerance ensures tight regulation in precision reference circuits, and the 150 mA test point reflects typical operating conditions where dynamic impedance is minimized to 2.0 Ω.
Does SMBG5346CE3/TR13 require baking before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5346CE3/TR13 does not require baking before reflow. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at standard humidity and temperature without dry packing or pre-reflow bake cycles - simplifying SMT line workflow and reducing process risk.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5346CE3/TR13?
The maximum continuous regulator current (IZM) for SMBG5346CE3/TR13 is 520 mA, calculated per Microsemi's note 3 using P = 5.0 W and VZM = 9.1 V × 1.02 = 9.282 V. This value assumes lead temperature (TL) remains below 25 °C; actual usable current drops with rising lead temperature due to thermal derating.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5346CE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package of SMBG5346CE3/TR13 uses gull-wing leads for visible solder joint inspection and improved mechanical stability, whereas DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5346B) employs J-bend leads. DO-215AA also achieves slightly better thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. 95 °C/W) on FR4 boards, supporting higher sustained power dissipation in compact layouts.
Is SMBG5346CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5346CE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is rated for solder temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020D peak of 260 °C). Its Level 1 moisture rating further ensures reliability without preconditioning.
