Product details
Overview
SMBG5355C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 18 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum Zener current IZM of 5.5 mA at TL < 25 °C - designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5355C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5355C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5355C/TR13 application, or SMBG5355C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current rating (IZSM = 75 A), DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with tightly controlled dynamic impedance (ZZT = 2.5 Ω at IZT = 65 mA) and minimal voltage drift over temperature (−65 to +150 °C junction range). Its low leakage current (IR ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 14.4 V) ensures stable regulation under light-load conditions.
The SMBG5355C/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0 rated) and gull-wing leads compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles (260 °C/10 s). It meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD robustness and requires no dry pack due to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±2% at IZT = 65 mA - enables precise 18 V reference generation with tight tolerance for feedback networks. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy transient clamping when mounted on lead frame with adequate heat sinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2.5 Ω at IZT = 65 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load currents in regulation circuits. |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 75 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides robust protection against short-duration voltage transients per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows direct thermal path from junction to lead, critical for sustained power operation without PCB copper pour. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 14.4 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; banded end must be held positive relative to anode during operation. Leads are RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated and solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased voltage reference point requiring positive potential relative to anode. |
| Anode | Reference return | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during regulation or clamping events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5355B equivalent | Identical electrical characteristics and test methods - enables drop-in replacement for legacy through-hole designs using adapter footprints. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required before SMT assembly - reduces handling cost and eliminates bake-out step in production flow. |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Visible solder joints after reflow - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and improves process yield in high-density layouts. |
| UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation | Self-extinguishing plastic body - satisfies flammability requirements for industrial and medical power supplies. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |
|---|---|

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 ±2% VZ, but axial T-18 package; RθJA = 120 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG5355C/TR13. | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT assemblies. | Select only when legacy through-hole design or manual repair constraints prohibit surface-mount adoption. |
| SMBJ5355C | Same electrical specs and DO-214AA package, but J-bend leads instead of gull-wing; RθJL = 30 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W. | Lower thermal performance limits continuous power handling in compact enclosures without forced airflow. | Prefer SMBG5355C/TR13 where thermal management or AOI visibility is critical; SMBJ5355C acceptable for cost-sensitive, low-power use cases. |
Compared with 1N5355B and SMBJ5355C, SMBG5355C/TR13 delivers superior thermal transfer (25 °C/W), visible solder joints for inspection, and identical regulation accuracy - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial power designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5355C/TR13?
The SMBG5355C/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured VZ falls between 17.64 V and 18.36 V at IZT = 65 mA and TL = 30 °C, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet.
Is SMBG5355C/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5355C/TR13 is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" marking option and matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. The "C" suffix confirms ±2% tolerance, and the "TR13" denotes EIA-481-1-A tape-and-reel packaging with 12 mm carrier tape - all consistent with Microsemi's RoHS-compliant product line.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5355C/TR13?
The SMBG5355C/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 75 A, specified for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value is explicitly listed in the Electrical Characteristics table for SMBG5355B/C variants and applies directly to SMBG5355C/TR13 as part of the same SMBG5333B–SMBG5388B family.
Does SMBG5355C/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5355C/TR13 does not require dry packing. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning it can be stored and assembled without baking or humidity-controlled handling - a benefit confirmed in the "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" section of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMBG5355C/TR13?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMBG5355C/TR13 is 25 °C/W, as stated in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table on page 1 of the datasheet. This value reflects the direct thermal path from silicon die to soldered lead, enabling higher continuous power dissipation than ambient-limited ratings would suggest.
