Product details
Overview
SMBG5355AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 18 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), rated test current of 65 mA, maximum dynamic impedance of 2.5 Ω at IZT, and maximum regulator current of 75 mA - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5355AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5355AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5355AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5355AE3/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-215AA gull-wing package details, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating confirmation, and direct alternatives with documented voltage/tolerance/power differences.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased mode, with cathode indicated by band and designed for stable regulation across 10 mA to 75 mA operating current range. Its 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 65 mA ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients.
Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling reliable 5 W dissipation when lead temperature (TL) remains below 25 °C; derating begins above that point per Figure 1. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±10% - regulates at 16.2–19.8 V under 65 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL < 25 °C - requires heatsinking or low ambient for full rating |
| Test Current (IZT) | 65 mA - defines nominal VZ measurement point and impedance condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω - small-signal AC impedance at 65 mA, critical for ripple rejection |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - absolute DC current limit before thermal runaway at rated power |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ 14.4 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Same 18 V ±10%, 5 W, DO-41 axial package; higher RθJA (150 °C/W) | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select for prototyping or low-volume through-hole designs where thermal mass compensates for higher RθJA |
| SMBG5355BE3/TR13 | Same 18 V, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix); identical DO-215AA package and 65 mA IZT | Tighter regulation needed in precision feedback paths; slightly lower IZM (75 mA → 75 mA same, but VZM = 18.9 V vs 19.8 V) | Select when ±5% VZ tolerance is required and board space allows same footprint |
Compared with SMBG5355AE3/TR13, 1N5355B offers identical regulation but demands through-hole assembly and has inferior thermal performance, while SMBG5355BE3/TR13 provides tighter voltage tolerance in the same SMT package - both require validation of layout thermal relief and surge margin for target application.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5355AE3/TR13?
The 'A' suffix in SMBG5355AE3/TR13 specifies ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 16.2 V and 19.8 V when measured at 65 mA and 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does SMBG5355AE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5355AE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, explicitly stated on page 1 of the datasheet. It does not require dry pack or baking prior to reflow, simplifying manufacturing flow and reducing risk of popcorning or delamination during assembly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5355AE3/TR13?
SMBG5355AE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 5.5 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value is derived from its 5 W power rating and 18 V VZ, enabling robust transient suppression in industrial power rails.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5355AE3/TR13 affect its power handling?
SMBG5355AE3/TR13 has RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W (on FR4 with recommended footprint). At 25 °C lead temperature, it delivers full 5 W; above that, power must be linearly derated - e.g., at TL = 75 °C, max power drops to 3.75 W. This is defined in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1.
Is SMBG5355AE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5355AE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating and is rated for solder temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds (page 1, Maximum Ratings), fully supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles including JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3a requirements.
