Product details
Overview
SMBG5352A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 15 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 75 mA test current, and maximum regulator current of 6.3 A under thermal-limited conditions. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5352A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5352A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5352A/TR13 application, or SMBG5352A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-215AA gull-wing package, 15 V Zener voltage with 10% tolerance, 5 W power rating at lead temperature <25 °C, low dynamic impedance, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across varying load currents and temperatures. Its Zener voltage is specified at 75 mA (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 10% AC modulation superimposed on IZT - confirming tight regulation under dynamic load conditions.
The SMBG5352A/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case rated UL94V-0, features cathode band polarity marking, and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1 - eliminating dry-pack requirements and enabling standard reflow processing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15 V ±10% at 75 mA - defines regulated output voltage with predictable tolerance band for feedback or clamping. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsinking for sustained operation. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at 75 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under small-signal AC load transients. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 6.3 A - peak DC current capability before thermal derating; limited by junction-to-lead thermal resistance (25 °C/W). |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1.0 µA at 10.8 V - confirms low off-state power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Cathode identified by molded band; device operated with banded end positive relative to anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; sinks current during Zener conduction. |
| Anode | Reference/return terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5352B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using axial 1N5352B. |
| Gull-wing leads (DO-215AA) | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reliable reflow attachment on FR4 boards with recommended 8.13 × 2.16 mm pad layout. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling, storage, and assembly logistics for high-volume manufacturing. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC-J-STD-006B tin finish requirements and supports Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 s. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5352B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM; no gull-wing geometry. | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when retrofitting legacy through-hole boards or where manual prototyping favors axial leads. |
| SMBJ5352B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. SMBG's 90 °C/W on FR4; RθJL not specified). | Lower profile than SMBG but lacks visible solder joints; may require X-ray inspection for process validation. | Select when board height constraints prohibit gull-wing standoff or when J-bend footprint matches existing design rules. |
Compared with SMBG5352A/TR13, 1N5352B offers identical regulation performance in axial form but limits SMT scalability, while SMBJ5352B provides equivalent specs in a lower-profile J-bend package - both serve as functional alternatives where package geometry permits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5352A/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5352A/TR13 indicates a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance. At the nominal 15 V rating, this means the actual breakdown voltage falls between 13.5 V and 16.5 V when measured at 75 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test methods and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Can SMBG5352A/TR13 be used as a direct replacement for 1N5352B?
Yes - SMBG5352A/TR13 is explicitly documented as electrically equivalent to 1N5352B, with identical Zener voltage, test current, dynamic impedance, and maximum regulator current. However, it is not a mechanical drop-in replacement due to its DO-215AA surface-mount gull-wing package versus the axial T-18 package of 1N5352B.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5352A/TR13?
The SMBG5352A/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 6.3 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design and is validated per JEDEC standards - critical for overvoltage clamp applications in industrial control systems.
Does SMBG5352A/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No - SMBG5352A/TR13 carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1 classification. Its plastic encapsulation exhibits negligible moisture absorption, so dry packing is unnecessary. The device supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds without popcorn or delamination risk.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5352A/TR13 affect its power handling?
SMBG5352A/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W. At 25 °C lead temperature, it delivers full 5.0 W dissipation; above that, power must be linearly derated. For example, at 75 °C lead temperature, maximum safe power drops to 3.75 W - underscoring the need for adequate copper pour or thermal vias in PCB layout.
