Product details
Overview
SMBG5357AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 20 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), rated for 65 mA test current (IZT), 237 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 75 mA maximum regulator current (IZM). It operates in the DO-215AA gull-wing package and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5357AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5357AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5357AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5357AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current rating (5.1 A IZSM), junction temperature range (–65 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with specified Zener voltage measured at 65 mA (IZT) and characterized by low dynamic impedance (237 Ω) near its knee region. Its thermal design relies on junction-to-lead conduction (RθJL = 25 °C/W), enabling stable regulation under pulsed or continuous DC loads when mounted per recommended FR4 footprint.
The SMBG5357AE3/TR13 exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current due to tight ±10% VZ tolerance and maintains regulation across –65 to +150 °C junction temperature. It withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 5.1 A (IZSM) and shows <0.5 µA reverse leakage (IR) at VR = 14.4 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±10% - Stable regulation point at 65 mA; high-end limit is 22 V for worst-case IZM calculation. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 65 mA - Operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed; defines bias condition for feedback loop design. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 237 Ω - Small-signal AC impedance at 1 kHz; determines output voltage ripple rejection in regulation circuits. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - Maximum continuous DC current at TL < 25 °C; sets upper bound for safe power dissipation (5 W). |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.1 A - Non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine peak; enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - Specifies full operational envelope; supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Thermal Resistance J-to-L | 25 °C/W - Enables thermal modeling from lead temperature to junction; critical for PCB copper pour sizing. |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5357B equivalence | Fully compatible electrical specs and test methods with legacy through-hole 1N5357B; simplifies redesign migration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Identical electrical specs (20 V ±10%, 65 mA IZT, 237 Ω ZZT), axial T-18 package, Sn/Pb plating. | Through-hole mounting only; requires wave solder or hand assembly; no RoHS compliance. | Select when legacy board compatibility or manual repair is prioritized over SMT automation and environmental compliance. |
| SMBJ5357B | Same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM; DO-214AA (J-bend) package instead of DO-215AA; identical RoHS status. | Lower profile but less visible solder joints; different pad layout; slightly higher RθJA (100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W). | Select when board space constraints favor J-bend geometry or existing DO-214AA footprint reuse is required. |
Compared with SMBG5357AE3/TR13, 1N5357B offers identical regulation performance but lacks SMT manufacturability and RoHS compliance, while SMBJ5357B matches all electrical parameters but trades gull-wing inspectability for compact J-bend placement-both require layout changes and do not support direct replacement.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5357AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5357AE3/TR13 has a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, denoted by the "A" suffix in its part number. This means its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 18.0 V and 22.0 V when tested at 65 mA (IZT) and 25 °C. The tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback circuits and must be accounted for in worst-case design margins for SMBG5357AE3/TR13 applications.
Does SMBG5357AE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5357AE3/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning it does not absorb sufficient moisture to risk popcorning during reflow. No dry pack, baking, or humidity-controlled storage is required prior to assembly-reducing handling cost and process complexity for SMBG5357AE3/TR13 deployment.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5357AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5357AE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 5.1 A, defined as an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value is derived from its 20 V Zener voltage and 5 W power rating, enabling robust transient suppression without secondary protection components in SMBG5357AE3/TR13-based clamp circuits.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5357AE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package of SMBG5357AE3/TR13 uses gull-wing leads for visible solder joint inspection and lower coplanarity risk, whereas DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5357B) employs J-bend leads. Dimensions differ: DO-215AA has 1.96–2.10 mm lead width (A) and 4.06–4.57 mm body width (B), while DO-214AA has tighter tolerances and requires different stencil and pad layouts for SMBG5357AE3/TR13 replacement.
Is SMBG5357AE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5357AE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) and is qualified for solder reflow at 260 °C for 10 seconds, fully supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020). Its thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W) and plastic encapsulation (UL94V-0) ensure reliability under repeated thermal cycling in SMBG5357AE3/TR13 manufacturing.
