Product details
Overview
SMBG5353B/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 16 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 75 mA test current, and maximum regulator current of 6.0 A at 25 °C lead temperature. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in power supply feedback loops and transient protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5353B/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5353B/TR13 pinout, SMBG5353B/TR13 application, or SMBG5353B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (6.0 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 16 V measured at 75 mA (IZT) and 30 °C lead temperature. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω) ensures stable regulation across varying load currents, while its 5 W power rating is valid only when lead temperature remains ≤25 °C.
The SMBG5353B/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), gull-wing tin-plated terminals per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, and exhibits moisture sensitivity level 1 - eliminating dry-pack requirements. Cathode polarity is marked by a band; operation requires cathode-positive biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±5% at 75 mA IZT - defines precise clamping threshold for feedback or protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL ≤25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsink to sustain full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at 75 mA - enables tight voltage regulation under dynamic load changes |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 6.0 A - peak DC current supported before thermal runaway at rated power |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands short-duration transients without degradation |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - quantifies heat transfer efficiency from junction to solder lead; critical for layout thermal design |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Cathode identified by molded band; device must be biased with banded end positive relative to anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; establishes reference potential for Zener conduction |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; connected to voltage node requiring clamping or regulation; carries full Zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N53xxB equivalent | Fully compatible with legacy 1N5353B designs - same electrical specs, test methods, and qualification standards |
| Gull-wing leads (DO-215AA) | Enables visual solder joint inspection and high-density placement on compact PCBs |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry-pack or baking required prior to reflow - reduces manufacturing overhead and handling risk |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC-J-STD-020B and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; suitable for lead-free assembly |
| High surge current rating | 6.0 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine pulse - protects downstream circuitry from ESD and lightning-induced surges |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp for 15 V Rail |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizes output voltage in isolated flyback converters by feeding error signal to optocoupler input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference and error amplifier bias element. Use Value: 16 V Zener voltage matches typical 15 V rail +5% margin; ±5% tolerance ensures consistent regulation across production lots. |
Use Scenario: Limits transient overshoot on a 15 V microcontroller I/O rail during hot-swap or load-dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt protector activated above 16.8 V (16 V × 1.05). Use Value: 6.0 A surge rating absorbs 500 mJ pulses (½ × L × I²) without failure; gull-wing leads minimize parasitic inductance. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Programmable Logic Controller Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Provides stable 16 V reference for 4–20 mA transmitter loop-powered sensors operating in harsh environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift voltage reference source for DAC or op-amp biasing. Use Value: 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance maintains <10 mV deviation across 10–100 mA load variation; –65 to +150 °C range covers extended industrial temp. |
Use Scenario: Clamps induced surges on 24 V digital input channels exposed to relay coil back-EMF or field wiring noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt suppressor placed directly at connector entry point. Use Value: 5 W continuous dissipation handles sustained 16 V × 312 mA loads; DO-215AA footprint fits standard PLC module spacing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5353B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical electrical specs but higher RθJA (120 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W); no gull-wing visibility. | Requires through-hole mounting and manual inspection; unsuitable for high-density SMT lines. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or vertical mounting is required; avoid for new SMT designs. |
| SMBJ5353 | DO-214AA J-bend package; same VZ and IZM, but RθJL = 30 °C/W and lower surge rating (5.5 A vs. 6.0 A). | Less efficient thermal transfer; slightly reduced transient robustness in high-stress environments. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 0.5 A surge margin is acceptable. |
Compared with 1N5353B and SMBJ5353, SMBG5353B/TR13 delivers superior thermal performance (25 °C/W vs. ≥30 °C/W), visible solder joints for AOI, and highest surge current rating - making it optimal for industrial-grade SMT power regulation and protection.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5353B/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5353B/TR13 indicates a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At 25 °C lead temperature, the measured VZ falls between 15.2 V and 16.8 V when tested at 75 mA (IZT). This tolerance is guaranteed per JEDEC specification and verified during 100% production testing.
Can SMBG5353B/TR13 replace 1N5353B in existing designs?
Yes - SMBG5353B/TR13 is a direct surface-mount functional replacement for 1N5353B, matching all electrical parameters including VZ, IZM, ZZT, and surge rating. However, the DO-215AA gull-wing footprint differs from the axial T-18 package, requiring PCB layout revision.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5353B/TR13?
SMBG5353B/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W continuous power dissipation only when lead temperature (TL) is maintained at or below 25 °C. At ambient conditions, derating applies: e.g., 1.38 W at TA = 25 °C on FR4 with recommended pad layout, per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Is SMBG5353B/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes - SMBG5353B/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating per J-STD-020B and EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The "TR13" suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging; the "e3" marking may appear on the device body per Microsemi nomenclature.
How is cathode polarity identified on SMBG5353B/TR13?
The cathode of SMBG5353B/TR13 is marked by a distinct molded band on the black epoxy body. During operation, the banded end must be held positive relative to the anode - i.e., reverse bias - to enable Zener breakdown and regulation behavior.
