Product details
Overview
SMBG5353CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 16 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It delivers stable voltage regulation across wide current (75 mA test current) and temperature (–65 to +150 °C) ranges, used in power supply overvoltage clamping and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5353CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5353CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5353CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5353CE3/TR13 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC 1N5353B compatibility, and real-world design implications for surge protection and precision biasing.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with dynamic impedance of 2.5 Ω at 75 mA (IZT) and knee impedance of 295 Ω at 1 mA (IZK). Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling 5 W dissipation only when lead temperature (TL) is maintained ≤25 °C.
It conforms to JEDEC 1N5353B specifications, supports non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 6.0 A (IZSM), and exhibits <0.5 µA reverse leakage at VR = 11.5 V - critical for low-power standby regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±2% at 75 mA - ensures tight regulation tolerance for reference and clamp applications requiring high accuracy. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL ≤25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsinked leads to sustain full rating. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at IZT = 75 mA - low impedance maintains stable output voltage under varying load current. |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables robust transient suppression in automotive and industrial power rails. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 11.5 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive circuits. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature environments including under-hood automotive and outdoor telecom. |
| Thermal Resistance RθJL | 25 °C/W - confirms efficient heat conduction from die to lead; critical for reliability in high-current pulse conditions. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are exposed on opposite sides of the molded epoxy body. Leads are RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during Zener operation; carries full regulator current in clamp mode. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection | Banded end; connected to input rail or regulated node; sustains reverse voltage and dissipates power during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5353B equivalence | Identical electrical characteristics and testing - enables drop-in replacement without redesign in legacy 1N5353B-based systems. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - simplifies handling, storage, and reflow process control. |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Visible solder joints on FR4 board - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and improves solder joint reliability verification. |
| Non-ESD-sensitive construction | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 - eliminates need for ESD handling protocols during assembly and field service. |
| High surge current capability | 6.0 A non-repetitive peak (8.3 ms) - protects downstream ICs from lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5353B | Same 16 V ±2%, 5 W rating, axial T-18 package; higher RθJA (125 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG). | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs. | Select SMBG5353CE3/TR13 for surface-mount density and visible gull-wing solder joints; choose 1N5353B only for legacy through-hole compatibility. |
| SMBJ5353 | Same 16 V ±2%, but J-bend DO-214AA package; identical RθJA (90 °C/W), slightly higher ZZT (3.0 Ω vs. 2.5 Ω). | Compatible footprint on FR4, but lacks gull-wing visual inspection advantage; lower surge rating (5.8 A vs. 6.0 A). | Prefer SMBG5353CE3/TR13 when AOI validation or maximum surge margin is required; SMBJ5353 suits cost-optimized J-bend layouts. |
Compared with 1N5353B and SMBJ5353, SMBG5353CE3/TR13 uniquely combines gull-wing visibility for solder quality assurance, lowest ZZT in its family (2.5 Ω), and highest IZSM (6.0 A), making it optimal for safety-critical clamping where traceability and transient margin are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5353CE3/TR13?
The "C" suffix in SMBG5353CE3/TR13 denotes ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 75 mA test current, yielding a guaranteed range of 15.68 V to 16.32 V at TL = 25 °C. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference and clamp applications where 16 V stability is critical, unlike ±5% (B suffix) or ±10% (A suffix) variants.
Is SMBG5353CE3/TR13 compatible with JEDEC 1N5353B?
Yes, SMBG5353CE3/TR13 is fully equivalent to JEDEC 1N5353B in electrical characteristics and testing per Microsemi documentation. Both share identical VZ (16 V), IZT (75 mA), ZZT (2.5 Ω), and IZSM (6.0 A), enabling direct functional replacement - though SMBG5353CE3/TR13 uses surface-mount DO-215AA versus 1N5353B's axial T-18 package.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SMBG5353CE3/TR13?
SMBG5353CE3/TR13 has a rated off-state power dissipation of 5.0 W at lead temperature (TL) ≤25 °C. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C on FR4 with recommended footprint, derated power drops to 1.38 W due to higher thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA = 90 °C/W). Full 5 W requires active lead cooling or thermal vias.
Does SMBG5353CE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow?
No, SMBG5353CE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it is not hygroscopic and does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during standard lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBG5353CE3/TR13?
SMBG5353CE3/TR13 specifies maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of ≤0.5 µA at VR = 11.5 V, measured per Microsemi T4-LDS-0246-1. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient designs such as battery-powered sensors and always-on monitoring circuits where standby current must be minimized.
