Product details
Overview
SMBG5355CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 18 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5355CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5355CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5355CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5355CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current rating (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 IZT = 65 mA with dynamic impedance ZZT = 2.5 Ω. Its low knee impedance (ZZK = 264 Ω @ 1 mA) ensures predictable behavior near breakdown onset.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visual solder inspection and supports moisture sensitivity Level 1 handling without dry pack. Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 with recommended footprint, enabling reliable 5 W dissipation only when lead temperature TL < 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±2% at IZT = 65 mA - precise reference for 15–21 V system rails |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via copper pour or heatsinked leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at IZT - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - maximum DC current before exceeding 5 W rating at upper VZ tolerance limit (18.36 V) |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.5 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events in industrial power inputs |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature automotive and industrial environments |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 14.4 V - negligible standby current in battery-backed or low-power monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; banded end must be biased positive relative to anode for Zener operation. Leads are RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin, solderable per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lowest potential point; establishes return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; supplies stable 18 V to downstream circuitry when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5355B equivalence | Identical electrical characteristics and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies SMT assembly logistics and reduces handling cost |
| Gull-wing lead form | Visible solder joints - enables automated optical inspection (AOI) and rework verification |
| High surge current capability | 5.5 A non-repetitive peak - protects downstream ICs from line transients without external TVS stacking |
| Low dynamic impedance | 2.5 Ω at 65 mA - maintains voltage stability under varying load currents in feedback loops |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in isolated DC-DC converter secondary-side regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference for optocoupler-based error amplifier input. Use Value: ±2% VZ tolerance and 2.5 Ω dynamic impedance ensure <±0.5% output voltage drift across line/load/temperature. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from 24 V field bus surges in PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element diverting excess energy to ground during transients. Use Value: 5.5 A surge rating and 18 V clamping threshold prevent latch-up or damage without adding series impedance. |

|
Use Scenario: Detecting brownout conditions in 24 V industrial control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed reference for comparator input against scaled system voltage. Use Value: Low IR (0.5 µA) avoids loading divider networks; tight 18 V tolerance enables accurate 10% undervoltage detection. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage to resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) in process instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-drift voltage source for bridge biasing. Use Value: Minimal VZ drift vs. current (low ZZT) and −65 to +150 °C operating range ensure measurement repeatability across ambient extremes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specs; non-RoHS (Sn/Pb plating) | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT boards | Select when legacy through-hole production or hand-solder repair is required |
| SMBJ5355B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs; 20% higher RθJA (108 °C/W) due to smaller thermal pad area | Lower thermal performance on FR4; derates to ~3.7 W at TA = 25 °C | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint is fixed and 18 V ±5% tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with SMBG5355CE3/TR13, 1N5355B offers identical regulation but mandates through-hole assembly, while SMBJ5355B fits SMT lines yet sacrifices thermal margin-making SMBG5355CE3/TR13 optimal for new high-density, RoHS-compliant designs needing full 5 W capability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5355CE3/TR13?
The 'C' suffix in SMBG5355CE3/TR13 denotes ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 65 mA test current, resulting in a guaranteed 17.64 V to 18.36 V range at 25 °C. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications where standard ±5% devices would introduce unacceptable error margins.
Can SMBG5355CE3/TR13 replace 1N5355B in existing designs?
Yes, SMBG5355CE3/TR13 is electrically identical to 1N5355B per Microsemi documentation and JEDEC registration, with matching VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM values. However, the DO-215AA gull-wing package requires PCB footprint revision-no direct drop-in replacement without layout change.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5355CE3/TR13?
SMBG5355CE3/TR13 delivers 5.0 W only when lead temperature TL remains below 25 °C. On standard FR4 with recommended footprint, power must be derated above 25 °C per Figure 1, reaching zero at TL = 150 °C. At TA = 25 °C, practical dissipation is ~1.38 W without heatsinking.
Does SMBG5355CE3/TR13 require dry packing for moisture sensitivity?
No. SMBG5355CE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/85% RH without dry pack or floor-life restrictions-simplifying inventory management and eliminating bake-out steps prior to reflow.
What is the surge current rating for SMBG5355CE3/TR13 and how is it defined?
SMBG5355CE3/TR13 has a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 5.5 A, specified for a single 8.3 ms half-sine waveform per Note 4. This rating validates its use in protecting against common industrial transients like inductive switch-off spikes or lightning-induced surges on 24 V control lines.
