Product details
Overview
SMBG5355BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 18 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across broad current and temperature ranges and is used in power supply overvoltage protection and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5355BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5355BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5355BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5355BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (5.5 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), and compatibility with high-density PCB layouts requiring visible solder joints.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased mode, maintaining stable 18 V regulation at its specified test current of 65 mA. Its low dynamic impedance (2.5 Ω at IZT) and minimal voltage variation versus current ensure tight regulation under varying load conditions.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 boards with recommended footprint, it delivers 5.0 W dissipation at lead temperature <25 °C or 1.38 W at ambient 25 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient of 90 °C/W under defined mounting conditions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±5% at 65 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level in protection or bias circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports robust transient energy absorption with adequate heatsinking |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 5.5 mA - sets maximum continuous DC current before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at 65 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under dynamic load changes |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.5 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands common power-line transients without failure |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Thermal Resistance RθJL | 25 °C/W - allows accurate junction temperature estimation from measured lead temperature |

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 ±5%, 5 W rating, axial DO-204AL (T-18) package - higher RθJA (125 °C/W) | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density SMT production | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| SMBJ5355B | Same electrical specs but DO-214AA (J-bend) package - RθJA = 95 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG | Lower profile than SMBG but less visible solder joint; different pad layout required | Select when board space constraints favor J-bend geometry and optical inspection is not mandatory |
Compared with SMBG5355BE3/TR13, 1N5355B requires through-hole assembly and offers inferior thermal performance, while SMBJ5355B matches electrical behavior but trades gull-wing visibility for slightly reduced thermal efficiency in ambient cooling.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5355BE3/TR13?
The SMBG5355BE3/TR13 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, indicated by the "B" suffix in the part number. This means its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 17.1 V and 18.9 V when tested at 65 mA and 25 °C. The e3 suffix confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and TR13 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-A standard.
How does SMBG5355BE3/TR13 differ from the 1N5355B?
The SMBG5355BE3/TR13 is the surface-mount DO-215AA gull-wing equivalent of the through-hole 1N5355B (DO-204AL). Both share identical electrical characteristics including 18 V ±5% Zener voltage and 5 W power rating, but SMBG5355BE3/TR13 supports automated SMT assembly and offers lower thermal resistance junction-to-lead (25 °C/W vs. ~40 °C/W for axial).
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5355BE3/TR13?
The SMBG5355BE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 5.5 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating enables reliable suppression of common power-line transients and ESD events without degradation, provided the device is mounted per the recommended FR4 footprint with 1 oz copper.
Is SMBG5355BE3/TR13 suitable for use as a voltage reference in precision analog circuits?
Yes - SMBG5355BE3/TR13 provides stable 18 V regulation with 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 65 mA, supporting precision applications such as ADC reference biasing. However, its ±5% initial tolerance and temperature coefficient require calibration or trimming in sub-1% accuracy systems; for tighter tolerance, consider C-suffix (±2%) variants like SMBG5355CE3/TR13.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of SMBG5355BE3/TR13?
The SMBG5355BE3/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it is not humidity-sensitive and requires no dry pack or baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies handling and eliminates MSL-related process steps in high-volume SMT manufacturing.
