Product details
Overview
SMBG5356A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 19 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), 65 mA test current (IZT), and 250 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5356A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5356A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5356A/TR13 application, or SMBG5356A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (5.3 A IZSM), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across wide current (1–65 mA) and temperature (−65 to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (250 Ω at 65 mA) ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes.
The SMBG5356A/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), gull-wing tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminals, and cathode polarity marked by a band - requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the anode during operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 19 V ±10% - regulates at 17.1–20.9 V under 65 mA test current, enabling robust reference design in noisy environments. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy transient suppression when mounted with adequate heat sinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 250 Ω at IZT = 65 mA - limits output voltage deviation to ~16.25 mV per 65 µA current change near regulation point. |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.3 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands common AC line surges and inductive kickback without degradation. |
| Junction-to-Lead Rθ | 25 °C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper, critical for sustained 5 W operation on FR4 with recommended pad layout. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 13.7 V - ensures negligible standby current in battery-powered voltage monitor circuits. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V at 1.0 A - allows use as clamp diode in bidirectional protection schemes without excessive forward drop. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package: plastic-encapsulated, moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required), 0.1 g weight, UL94V-0 rated epoxy body, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink in reverse bias; forward conduction path | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; carries full surge current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Regulated output node in reverse bias; higher-potential terminal | Banded end - must be held positive relative to anode; connects to feedback node or protected rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5356B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using axial 1N5356B. |
| Gull-wing lead form | Visible solder joints and automated optical inspection (AOI) compatibility - improves manufacturing yield on high-density PCBs. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No baking or dry pack required before reflow - reduces handling cost and avoids moisture-induced popcorning. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC-J-STD-020B solderability requirements - ensures reliable reflow joint formation without lead-based alloys. |
| High IZM (65 mA) | Supports stable regulation across 1–65 mA operating range - eliminates need for external ballast resistors in many applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5356B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ (19 V), IZT (65 mA), ZZT (250 Ω), and PD (5 W). | Requires through-hole assembly and larger board area; not suitable for high-density SMT lines. | Select 1N5356B only for legacy repair, prototyping with breadboards, or where manual assembly is preferred. |
| SMBJ5356 | DO-214AA (J-bend) package; same electrical specs but higher RθJA (90 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W RθJL); no gull-wing visual inspection advantage. | Limited thermal performance in high-power continuous operation; less compatible with AOI systems. | Choose SMBJ5356 for cost-sensitive designs where thermal margin exceeds 1.38 W on FR4, and AOI is not required. |
Compared with SMBG5356A/TR13, 1N5356B offers identical regulation but sacrifices SMT efficiency and space savings, while SMBJ5356 trades thermal reliability and manufacturability for lower package cost - making SMBG5356A/TR13 optimal for production-grade SMT power regulation where thermal control and process yield matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5356A/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5356A/TR13 specifies a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its regulated voltage falls between 17.1 V and 20.9 V at 65 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet, where SMBG5356B (±5%) is listed separately - confirming the A-suffix designation applies exclusively to SMBG5356A/TR13.
Does SMBG5356A/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5356A/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry packing or baking. This is explicitly stated in the "APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS" section and "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" section of the datasheet, eliminating moisture-related reflow defects like popcorning.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5356A/TR13?
SMBG5356A/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 5.3 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 19 V Zener voltage, enabling reliable protection against common power-line transients and inductive switching spikes.
Is SMBG5356A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5356A/TR13 uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its gull-wing terminals, as confirmed in the "FEATURES" and "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" sections. The "e3" marking variant exists for explicit RoHS identification, but the base SMBG5356A/TR13 part number - per Microsemi documentation - ships with RoHS-compliant finish unless otherwise specified.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5356A/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package of SMBG5356A/TR13 features gull-wing leads enabling visible solder joints and AOI compatibility, whereas DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5356) has J-bend leads that hide solder fillets. Electrically identical, SMBG5356A/TR13 also achieves 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance versus 90 °C/W junction-to-ambient for DO-214AA - giving superior thermal performance in high-power operation.
