Product details
Overview
SMBG5348A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 11 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 125 mA test current, and maximum regulator current of 8.0 A under thermal lead conditions. It operates in voltage regulation and overvoltage protection circuits for DC power rails in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5348A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5348A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5348A/TR13 application, or SMBG5348A/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-215AA gull-wing package details, JEDEC 1N5348A compatibility, thermal derating behavior, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating confirmation - all critical for high-reliability board-level design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown, with Zener voltage specified at 11 V ±10% (10.0–12.2 V range) at IZT = 125 mA. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation across load current changes, while its 5 W power rating applies only when lead temperature (TL) is maintained ≤25 °C.
The SMBG5348A/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), gull-wing tin-plated terminals per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, and exhibits Level 1 moisture sensitivity (J-STD-020B) - enabling standard reflow without dry-pack preconditioning. Cathode polarity is marked by a band on the anode end.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V ±10% (10.0–12.2 V); stable regulation point at IZT = 125 mA, TL = 30 °C |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL ≤ 25 °C; derates to 1.38 W at TA = 25 °C on FR4 with recommended footprint |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at 125 mA; ensures <±0.3 V shift over ±300 mA load transients within regulation range |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 8.0 A; maximum continuous DC current before thermal runaway under ideal lead-sink conditions |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 µA max at VR = 8.0 V; confirms low standby power loss in undervoltage detection circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 to +150 °C; supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead; enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted to copper pour or heatsinked PCB traces |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band on anode end; 0.1 g mass; UL94V-0 epoxy body; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; visible solder joints enabled by gull-wing geometry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to voltage rail being stabilized; clamps excess voltage above 11 V ±10% |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5348A equivalence | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| Gull-wing lead form (DO-215AA) | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reduces tombstoning risk vs. J-bend packages |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required prior to reflow - eliminates pre-bake step and reduces manufacturing cost |
| High surge current rating (IZSM) | 8.0 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine); protects downstream circuitry from transient overvoltages |
| Low dynamic impedance | 2.5 Ω at 125 mA - maintains tight regulation during rapid load-current steps in SMPS feedback paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5348A | Same Zener voltage (11 V ±10%), identical electrical specs, but axial T-18 package with leads requiring through-hole mounting. | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole production or manual repair is required; not compatible with SMBG5348A/TR13 footprint. |
| SMBJ5348A | Same Zener voltage and tolerance, but DO-214AA J-bend package - different pad layout and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W). | Lower surge current rating (7.5 A vs. 8.0 A); less effective for high-energy transients. | Choose only if DO-214AA footprint is already standardized; verify thermal margin with RθJA derating curve. |
Compared with 1N5348A and SMBJ5348A, SMBG5348A/TR13 offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, visual solder inspection capability, and highest surge current handling - making it preferred for new industrial and automotive designs where DO-215AA footprint is adopted.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5348A/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5348A/TR13 denotes ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning the measured VZ falls between 10.0 V and 12.2 V at IZT = 125 mA and TL = 30 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet. SMBG5348A/TR13 is not rated for tighter tolerances like ±5% (B-suffix) or ±2% (C-suffix).
Is SMBG5348A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5348A/TR13 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, as explicitly stated in the "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" section of the datasheet. The "TR13" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-A, but does not affect RoHS status - compliance is inherent to the "A" variant's terminal finish.
What is the maximum continuous current SMBG5348A/TR13 can handle?
SMBG5348A/TR13 has a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 8.0 A, defined under ideal thermal lead-sink conditions (TL ≤ 25 °C). In practice, on a standard FR4 PCB with recommended footprint, its usable continuous current is limited to ~1.1 A at 25 °C ambient due to 90 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - requiring careful thermal design for higher loads.
How does SMBG5348A/TR13 differ from SMBJ5348A?
SMBG5348A/TR13 uses a DO-215AA gull-wing package, while SMBJ5348A uses DO-214AA J-bend. This results in different pad layouts, 10 °C/W higher RθJA for SMBJ5348A (100 vs. 90 °C/W), and lower surge current rating (7.5 A vs. 8.0 A). SMBG5348A/TR13 also supports visual solder inspection - a key advantage for automated optical inspection (AOI) in high-reliability production.
Can SMBG5348A/TR13 replace 1N5348A in existing designs?
SMBG5348A/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N5348A per the datasheet's "DESCRIPTION" section, but mechanical replacement requires PCB redesign: 1N5348A uses axial T-18 leads, while SMBG5348A/TR13 uses surface-mount DO-215AA gull-wing. No direct footprint compatibility exists - the substitution is functional, not mechanical.
