Product details
Overview
SMBG5353C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 16 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 75 mA test current (IZT), 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 6.0 A maximum regulator current (IZM); used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5353C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5353C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5353C/TR13 application, or SMBG5353C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current rating (IZSM = 6.0 A), and DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across wide current (1–6 A) and temperature (−65 to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω at 75 mA) ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package provides visible solder joints and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling reliable 5 W operation with adequate heat sinking at lead temperature <25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±2% - precise reference voltage at 75 mA, critical for feedback accuracy in regulated DC-DC converters. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 75 mA - standardized operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed per JEDEC 1N53xxB spec. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω - low AC impedance ensures tight voltage regulation during ripple and transient conditions. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 6.0 A - maximum continuous DC current at rated power, defining safe steady-state dissipation limit. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - non-repetitive peak current handling for transient overvoltage suppression. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables 5 W power dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above lead temperature. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated; polarity requires banded end to be positive relative to opposite end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased reference terminal | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; carries full regulator current during conduction. |
| Cathode | Zener voltage output terminal | Banded end; supplies regulated 16 V to feedback network or clamp circuit; must be held at higher potential than anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N53xxB Equivalent | Identical electrical characteristics and test methods to legacy through-hole 1N5353B, enabling drop-in replacement in upgraded SMT designs. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack or baking required before reflow-reduces manufacturing overhead and eliminates moisture-induced popcorning risk. |
| High Surge Withstand | 6.0 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge current supports IEC 61000-4-5 level 4 transient immunity in industrial power inputs. |
| Low Dynamic Impedance | 2.5 Ω at 75 mA ensures <32 mV output shift for ±100 mA load change-critical for <1% regulation error in precision supplies. |
| Gull-Wing Lead Geometry | Visible solder joints enable automated optical inspection (AOI) and simplify rework on dense PCBs without X-ray. |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback or forward DC-DC converters via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference element providing stable 16 V threshold to TL431 or similar shunt regulator IC.

Use Scenario: Protecting downstream 15 V logic rails from input surges exceeding 18 V in industrial 24 V systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device that conducts excess current when input exceeds 16 V, limiting rail voltage. Use Value: 6.0 A surge rating absorbs 8.3 ms transients up to 100 J without degradation-meets IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4. |
| Reference Voltage Source | ESD Protection Interface |
Use Scenario: Generating stable 16 V bias for op-amp comparators or analog sensor excitation in battery-powered instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift, low-noise voltage reference replacing higher-cost bandgap ICs where 1% accuracy suffices. Use Value: Level 1 moisture rating and −65 to +150 °C operation allow use in unsealed outdoor enclosures without conformal coating. |

Use Value: Non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 enables direct placement at connector entry points without series resistors. |
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%, 75 mA IZT, and 2.5 Ω ZZT, but axial T-18 package with higher RθJA (125 °C/W) and no gull-wing visibility. | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT boards or AOI-based production lines. | Select 1N5353B only for legacy repair or prototyping where board real estate and automated inspection are not constraints. |
| SMBJ5353C | Identical electrical specs and DO-214AA J-bend package; RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. SMBG5353C's RθJL = 25 °C/W-less efficient heat transfer to PCB copper. | Lower thermal performance limits sustained 5 W operation without enhanced copper pour; less robust in thermally constrained layouts. | Choose SMBJ5353C only if existing footprint uses DO-214AA; otherwise SMBG5353C offers superior thermal path and visual solder verification. |
Compared with 1N5353B and SMBJ5353C, SMBG5353C/TR13 delivers optimal thermal management via its DO-215AA gull-wing leadframe (RθJL = 25 °C/W), enables AOI-ready assembly, and maintains identical JEDEC-regulated Zener performance-making it the preferred choice for new SMT power designs requiring reliability and manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5353C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in SMBG5353C/TR13 denotes a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 75 mA test current. This means the actual VZ falls between 15.68 V and 16.32 V under specified conditions, ensuring tighter regulation than ±5% (B) or ±10% (A) variants-critical for feedback accuracy in precision power supplies.
Does SMBG5353C/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5353C/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry pack or baking. This eliminates moisture-related defects like popcorning during reflow and simplifies factory handling.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5353C/TR13?
SMBG5353C/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W off-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) < 25 °C. At ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C) on FR4 with recommended footprint, derated power is 1.38 W due to higher thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA = 90 °C/W).
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5353C/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package of SMBG5353C/TR13 provides visible solder joints for AOI, lower RθJL (25 °C/W), and better mechanical stability than DO-214AA's J-bend leads. In contrast, DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5353C) has higher RθJA (90 °C/W) and no direct lead-to-PCB thermal path.
Is SMBG5353C/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5353C/TR13 is RoHS compliant with annealed matte-tin plating and rated for solder temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds-fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3A), including peak temperatures of 260 °C.
